"Planning a wedding is all about creating moments that feel uniquely yours. One of the most powerful ways to make your ceremony unforgettable is through live music. As a wedding musician, I love collaborating with couples to craft the perfect soundtrack for their ceremony and cocktail reception. Whether it’s performing the song that played on your first date or arranging a fresh take on a tune that holds special meaning, I make it my purpose to bring your vision to life. There is the option of having a DJ simply play a recording of the song, but live music has a uniqueness that cannot be replicated; the performance exists for that one time only. I’ve had the privilege of performing for over 80 weddings, which also means I know how to adapt when the unexpected happens and still deliver a seamless performance. And throughout it all, I stay focused on what matters most—that this day is about you and the love you’re celebrating. What’s great about working with a solo guitarist like me is the flexibility it brings. If there are last-minute changes, I’m quick to adjust and when it comes to logistics, my guitar and I are highly portable which can be useful or even essential at some remote outdoor venues. If you’re looking to add that extra layer of magic to your wedding, I’d love to help create a soundtrack that’s as meaningful and unforgettable as the love you’re celebrating. " Garrett Pelland
