Services Offered

Kirk Hanser’s music is suitable for both ceremony and reception, with his most popular package offering comprehensive accompaniment for the ceremony. He can begin playing music 30 minutes before the wedding begins, setting an elegant tone as guests start to take their seats. Music can then change to signal the arrival of various loved ones. He is available to play during any quiet moment in the ceremony for a gentle ambiance. The processional and recessional can be enhanced by expertly played acoustic guitar and his own high-quality sound system. Kirk is happy to learn new pieces to enhance the celebration, as he understands that some songs can have sentimental value to the couple. He can be accompanied by various other musicians, such as a cellist or flutist, for a slightly fuller sound

Excellent!! Highly recommend! Actually we wished we had him play ALL the ceremony music. We opted for a song from a CD for the unity candle....everything else he played....should have had Kirk play ALL the music. Very accommodating with special requests. And an excellent value. WOW!!
