WEDDING MUSIC THAT STRIKES THE PERFECT CHORD

Each part of the ceremony, from the entrance to the special moments and exit, features unique music tailored to your vision. Whether you want a dramatic entrance or a soft background for your vows, every note reflects your love story. I use a high-quality Bose Pro L1 sound system for excellent audio and provide a discreet microphone for your officiant. As guests leave, graceful postlude music maintains the atmosphere, ensuring a smooth and elegant experience from beginning to end.

  • Make your cocktail hour memorable with an hour of live music tailored to your style. I mix genres like Jazz, Pop, R&B, Indie, and Chill EDM to create a lively atmosphere that keeps your guests involved without being too loud. Whether as a highlight or elegant background music, this performance enhances the mood and smoothly shifts your event from ceremony to celebration, while feeling luxurious and thoughtfully crafted.

Whether it's a classic or a modern hit, this special version offers a unique and intimate experience that reflects your journey together.

  • As your celebration moves to dinner, I offer a personalized live violin music set that enriches the atmosphere while allowing conversations to flow. Mixing elegant interpretations of jazz, soul, indie, and modern pop, the music adapts to the evening's energy. Whether I'm standing still or moving around, each note is carefully selected to enhance the experience, creating a smooth, classy soundtrack that keeps the mood inviting and memorable.

  • "Tim is an incredible and unique talent"

    He is professional, nice and super talented! His music choices were perfect and his electric violin playing left us with chills of awe. He will take any song and break it down to the bear bones so that he can play t on the electric violin. He plays timeless and current music, anything! He looks professional too. Confident, experienced, happy and energetic. As a business man he was calm and reassuring from every aspect. Although Tim is unarguably mega talented, he is also highly educated. Yes, it matters. It's part of the perfection!

  • "My husband and I are so happy we found Tim to be violinist"

    He had been referred to us by a friend who also had him as a part of their wedding. He is professional, very talented, and made us feel taken care of from start to finish. We had a mixed guest list, some conservative family and also some very fun friends...we knew he was our guy with his skills to be the perfect fit for even a diverse group like ours. He makes the most conservative person feel comfortable and also knows how to keep the dance floor hot! Some of our guests asked us throughout the night where we had found this amazing guy!

  • "We used Tim for our wedding and he was so easy to work with from the very first time I met with him"

    We had specific songs we wanted for our cocktail hour, another set for dinner and another for dancing. It was not a problem for Tim and he was able to give us several suggestions for songs when we needed it. He played the electric violin during cocktail hour and everyone raved about how good it was. During the reception, everyone was up dancing the whole time. We had so many compliments on the music and I've had several friends tell me they want to use him when they get married. He is great to work with and I highly recommend him.

  • "He walked us through our wedding day step by step and covered every detail"

    Tim was the preferred musician for our venue and also came with high recommendations from our wedding planner. Tim blew the hype out of the water. My wife and I were nervous for our first meeting with Tim but he eased our nerves and was truly professional. He walked us through our wedding day step by step and covered every detail. On our wedding day he was a total rockstar. He played the electric violin during our cocktail hour, killed it on the violin during dinner (he even played a few songs that we had specially requested). We got married 7 months ago and people are still talking about how awesome he was. We would recommend Tim to anyone and everyone!
