About

This is the place to book an experienced organist and pianoist for all weddings. The Ceremonial Music Maker is committed to ensuring that your occasion is as meaningful and memorable as possible, by carefully realising your musical vision for what is the most important day of your life. A bespoke list of musical options will be provided, including suggested hymns, processional and recessional pieces, as well as music for the signing of the marriage document. We take all the stress away from you to create the perfect service.

With extensive experience in working alongside clergy and service leaders, I have established excellent professional relationships with priests, vicars, and celebrants, helping to ensure a seamless and well-coordinated service.

All fees include an initial consultation, guidance on the musical elements of the order of service, and liaison with the venue and any other relevant parties.

I also collaborate with some of the country’s finest musicians, including singers who have performed at the Coronation in Westminster Abbey. Separate fees apply for the engagement of a soloist or a choir comprising four to eight voices.

With over 20 years of experience playing and organising music for these important occasions, I’m passionate about creating a service that is meaningful, memorable, and tailored to you. If you are planning a joyful celebration, I believe in the power of music to bring beauty to any matrimonial ceremony.

The Ceremonial Music Maker is a wedding musician based in Oxford, Oxfordshire.
