For a Church Wedding Ceremony Service I usually play all classical music and flute accompanied by the organist is a magical combination so highly recommended! However as the service is usually longer and requires rehearsals with the organist the investment is slightly higher.
I am happy to play the piano at the venue if it is in good working order and tuned to concert pitch. I will need access to the piano before the big day.
I can perform outdoors but a number of conditions must be met beforehand so please let me know if you are considering an outside ceremony
