Ashley & Brian

EVENT: Ashley & Brian’s Wedding
DATE: July 2012
LOCATION: Private Residence – Toronto, ON
FORMAT: Instrumental acoustic guitar

Ashley & Brian’s wedding was one of the most unique events at which I’ve performed. Held at a private residence north of Toronto, it had the perfect blend of intimacy and grandeur. It was an oasis; complete with a pool, stone patio, wrap-around verandah, lush landscaping, and beautiful decor.

From a musician’s perspective, it was an amazing day. The garden and patio allowed for a creative set-up, placing me right in the centre of the backyard. We hid the BOSE system by a tree in the garden. With reflections bouncing off neighbouring homes, it provided for a dramatic 360 degree sound. Crystal clear and expansive.

For their custom song, Ashley & Brian chose Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop by Landon Pigg. It was a great choice for the Bridesmaids walking down the aisle. A very contemporary, beautiful and dreamy sound.

It was a privilege getting to know Ashley, Brian and their family.
