About

Beth Dean Music is a wedding musician based out of Lexington, Kentucky. Drawing from my extensive experience in the field of music, I have performed for hundreds of weddings, receptions, and private parties. I am a classically trained concert pianist and world-class vocalist who can perform any style of music to-be-weds may desire.

Services Offered

With a refreshing musical palette and an eclectic song list, Beth Dean Music delights in creating a romantic ambience for weddings. For stand-out experiences, I can perform during the ceremony and reception, or any moment in between. In addition to soloist performances, I'm happy to perform as a trio to provide classy, elegant music for special occasions. Instruments including drums, guitars, and the piano are available to supplement any arrangement. I do not offer packages. I feel that everyone has a dream in mind for their wedding. I love to help the couple plan the music that fits them perfectly. This requires a consult and time spent to be sure we hit the mark. I offer a free consult and will be sure you get the highest quality experience.

We could not have asked for more beautiful music!

Beth is such an amazing musician and a wonderful person to work with. She is genuine, professional, and kind. She took my daughter's wishes for the music and made them even more magical than we had imagined. Many guests complimented her piano skills as well as her vocal talent. My daughter's wedding just simply would not have been as special without Beth's involvement. Hiring Beth Dean Music was one of the absolute best wedding decisions we made.

A Dream Come True

A wedding is often a “Dream Come True” day, and you pray that it goes perfectly and is very special. Well, when Jim and I married, it was indeed perfect and special. And one of the main reasons was that Beth Dean did our music. She has a truly angelic, yet powerful voice and captivated all in attendance. Her piano accompaniment was incredible as well. All great performances take preparation, and Beth was always available and helpful in choosing our music and the placement in our ceremony. Through it all, she endeared herself to us so much that we are now blessed to call her a friend.

Beth flew to Dallas, TX to sing at my wedding. She is a talented vocalist and performer.

Beth has an amazing voice and consummate professional. I’m planning the music for our wedding, Beth worked closely with the string quartet and other vocalists. She was very detailed oriented and made sure the harmony was precise.

Beth also gave me voice lessons at her studio. I would hire her again!

Beth is a true professional. She was very flexible in meeting our needs and provided seamless service. Given her skills and the high quality of her work, she is an excellent value for the price. I will definitely recommend her to others.

Beth worked diligently to provide the very best for our wedding music. Prior to the event she worked tirelessly to help us select songs and music which were both appropriate for the setting and were personal to us. The breadth of her repertoire also gave us a lot of latitude as she can sing virtually anything beautifully. I would recommend her as a musician and as a singer for anyones wedding, in fact for ANY event. Beautiful voice, lovely person, talented musician....the consummate professional.

Beth you did an awesome job at Josh & Ashley's wedding. The classical music beforehand was beautiful and the two vocals were just fabulous. I couldn't imagine anyone else doing the music. Thanks again for everything. You are the best!

Beth Mankel's performance at my daughter and son-in-law's wedding was outstanding! She not only played the piano beautifully, but sang beautifully, as well. She is truly a lovely person, inside and out, and helped to make their special day even more special, by being a part of it! I am now looking for other venue's that my husband and I can find her singing in so we can enjoy her talent some more! I highly recommend her!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Beth as our musician! I can not say enough good things about Beth. Her service is top notch. Not only does she have a beautiful voice and amazing piano skills, but she and her husband Mike went out of their way to make sure that our day went as smoothly as possible. Her pre-wedding planning took a lot of stress of of our shoulders and we never had to worry about her missing a beat like some of the other vendors we used. I would highly reccomend her to anyone. If we ever need another musician, Beth will be the first person we call.

I was lucky enough to find Beth through many web searches and follow up interviews, she is simply great to work with, very responsive which is really big in my book, and very professional. Beth is very reasonable on price and plays the piano beautifully, not to mention she even rehearsed with my cousins as they had duets in our wedding, one a singer, one a violin player. Beth is great at steering things in the right direction while being attentive to all our desires for the ceremony, I would recommend her without reservation. Thank you Beth!

Beth is FANTASTIC! Beth provided music for my ceremony and reception. Her voice is unbelievable (think Norah Jones)! She worked with me to help me choose music for the cermony and the reception. She even learned my requested song for my father-daughter dance. Beth is very professional and is one of Lexington's most talented vocalists and pianists. I strongly recoomend her for both classical cermony music and for those who want a classier reception experiience (i.e., want to avoid having a cheesy dj at your reception). Beth has a cd which showcases her talents.

It's always a pleasure to work with Beth Mankel. She and her group are so extremely versatile, shifting seamlessly from gentle ceremony music, to tasteful cocktail hour fare that allows the guests to still be able to carry on a conversation (even with an unshielded drumkit in a more intimately sized room), to full dance party mode. I'm thrilled whenever I see her on the vendor list for my weddings. Highly recommended.
