What´s included in the costs?
Good question! 100€/song sounds pricey when you´re “only” looking for someone for the ceremony.
But you´re not paying per song per se but the whole effort – starting with my offer to the last strum on my guitar.
It includes:
- Your inquiry – my offer and going through all the fine-tuning afterwards
- Feedbacks and consultations on how/where to add music to your ceremony
- Choosing/recommending songs and learning them (learn chords, transpose if necessary, interpret individually…)
- Recording your song as a back-up, in the improbable event of losing my voice
- Writing your very own song (if you wish so)
- Maintaining & setting up the sound system (about 1-2h before your ceremony)
- Proper attire
The day belongs to you only – I´m at your service.
I´m well aware of the importance of music during your wedding. I want to make sure it all runs smoothly. Therefore: Preparation is key to make sure that your love can shine unhindered on the best day of your life.
Do you use half-playback? Or “That´s why I sing live only.”
When I sing live, I can adjust to the situation organically – the bride enjoys every step down the aisle > no worries, I add another chorus or instrumental.
She can´t wait to be with her groom? > No worries, I shorten the song accordingly.
The reception is so beautiful – there are so many nice words to say, hugs to share, tears to dry…
or
Everyone´s in a rush because they need to get to the next location on time where you have more time together to chat and dance – easy, I can shorten oder extend my set according to the circumstances. I come prepared.
Another bonus: I can adjust or influence the atmosphere by picking, strumming, lifting or lowering my voice&guitar. Whatever the atmosphere requires.
I´m attentive and can regulate accordingly.
A playback-instrumental starts and finishes at a certain time and wouldn´t give me the room to work with the situation at hand.
Do you sing German or english songs?
Both – check the “audio samples” ( Or just click here)
Can you play the piano as well?
My main instrument at weddings is my guitar.
BUT there is a possibility that I can accompany myself on a keyboard. (It could sound like this.)
Don´t hesitate to ask.
What´s on your songlist – classics or charthits?
I can sing both – even the hidden gems that don´t reach Top1 in the Billboard 🙂
If you want classics only or an up-beat ceremony is all up to you!
A mix of both has proven just perfect for most couples.
Hallelujah or Amazing grace when the bride comes in or a personally picked song after the vows (or instead of the spoke vows!), an uplifting song by Jason Mraz e.g. to wrap the ceremony up. We will find the right mix together. Just ask for my repertoire and I´ll send you a list of well-loved songs.
FYI: I sing religious/christian songs as well.
We don´t have a song (yet).
I can write a song for you.
With a melody of your choice or a whole new song. ( Check out two personalized songs here.)
If you like the idea. Get in touch with me.
What if you fall sick?
In the unlikely event that I lose my voice on your wedding day, I´ll have a recording of all your songs for the ceremony which you can use (given an ample pre-booking time) – so you won´t have to get used to a new voice and interpretation of another singer.
Unplugged or amplified?
Both. It´s all about your venue.
I can sing unplugged in a church/venue with less than 25 people. More people would require at least a little amplification. If you´re wedding takes place outdoors and/or with more people I highly recommend an amplification so everyone can hear and feel the atmosphere like the front row does.
By the way – the equipment is included in my package deals.
Do you only sing at weddings in Berlin?
No. I live in Berlin but you can book me nationwide.
Can we book you for any weekday?
Yes! Most weddings take place around the weekend but I can sing for you any day of the week.
