The perfect final detail

Levi was so easy to work with, extremely responsive, and very professional. I asked for a specific rendition of my aisle song, and as soon as he started playing, I knew he nailed it. For me, hearing Levi playing while I was getting ready was a highlight. It created a sense of calm and made me smile. I just loved it.
My husband and our guests loved it too. They raved about how Levi seamlessly transitioned from song to song, and they enjoyed guessing the instrumental versions of the classic love songs Levi played.
It would have been easy for someone to play classic fairytale tunes in a cheesy way, but Levi was able to highlight their beauty and timelessness. Levi was the perfect detail to tie our ceremony together and make it feel extra special and sweet. Can't recommend him enough

Beautiful music for a beautiful wedding!

Dr. Levi Henkel does an amazing job as Director of Music at our church, so I knew he was the right person to guide us in music selection, and then to play before, during and after the service. Levi also coordinated selections with an external String Trio, and together they made beautiful music! Could not ask for more!

A professional, communicative, outstanding musician!

Levi played for my wedding in January and did an outstanding job. Leading up to the wedding, he provided a list of music that would be appropriate for the venue that helped the mothers and grandmothers choose the songs to walk down the aisle to. It also helped my husband and myself select music for the prelude, processional, and postlude, knowing that Levi would be able to play anything from the list he suggested and that we wouldn’t need to worry about his ability. Although he couldn’t attend the rehearsal (which he informed me of immediately after he learned our wedding date), he stayed in close communication with my coordinator to make sure that he knew all the cues. In addition to all of this, the music was phenomenal and was the perfect touch to our wedding.

Talented and Flexible Pianist

I hired Levi to perform at my son's wedding. On short notice Levi was able to put together an arrangement of music for the wedding ceremony and continued to play and entertain us for two additional hours after the ceremony. Very professional, responsive and talented. I highly recommend his services.

Exactly what we were looking for!

We needed an organ player for our ceremony last minute. He came through for us and didn't hesitate attending our rehearsal. He is very talented and experienced and intuitively new what songs to play and when. We're so happy we found him!
