AUXILIARY FEES

VOCALIST & INSTRUMENTALIST FEES:
As your keyboardist, I can subcontract vocalists and instrumentalists with no additional management charge. If hired solely as your consultant and planner, I will seek out the best musicians at the best price for you for a minimal fee. Professional Nashville musicians on average get a minimum of $250 per event (rehearsal is extra).

Bagpipers' and harpists' fees start around $300. For professional musicians, payment is per event, so the fee is the same whether they perform one or ten songs.

Misc. Auxiliary Fees: Special Rehearsals, Travel Expense and Equipment Setup

PARTIES

Rehearsal Dinners, Receptions, Christmas Parties, Birthdays, Showers...

I am also available to play piano at the rate of $100 per hour with a 2-hour minimum. I play a variety of styles (pop, jazz, light rock, CCM, oldies, etc.) covering several decades, and am happy to accomodate special requests. Want a Celtic band or a jazz combo? I work with many Nashville musicians and can coordinate any type of ensemble you desire for your event.

Cancellation Policy

Refund of deposit will be honored in the event a wedding or party is called off due to extenuating circumstances, less any fees for consideration of time or effort expended upon the client's behalf, such as email wedding planning, consultation sessions, etc.



Your deposit constitutes a contract between us. The balance is payable at the rehearsal. If there is no rehearsal-- or I am not playing for the rehearsal--I request the balance be paid prior to the ceremony day. You don't need to be bothered with one more detail on the wedding day itself! If you have a planner, let her handle the finances...it's part of her job.

If paying by check, mail to:
