Wedding music FAQ

How much does a wedding singer cost in Muskoka and Georgian Bay?

Packages are $500 for the ceremony, $900 for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and $1,400 for the full evening through dinner. Sound, setup and travel within 100 km of Midland are included.

What areas do you play?

Georgian Bay, Muskoka, Barrie, Orillia, Collingwood and the rest of Simcoe County. I'll travel further across Ontario; past 100 km from Midland, travel is $0.55 per km, round trip.

Do we need to provide a sound system?

No. I bring my own Bose L1 Pro16 sound system for the ceremony and reception. All I need is a standard power outlet nearby.

Can you play outdoors?

Yes, most of my summer weddings are outside. I need cover from sun and rain for the gear, and a flat spot about 2 m by 2 m. If it pours with no cover, we move inside.

Can you learn our first dance or aisle song?

Yes. If it's not already in my repertoire, I'll learn it for $50 a song. Send requests at least 30 days before the wedding so it's ready.

What kind of music do you play?

Acoustic pop, country and folk, from Ed Sheeran and Stephen Sanchez to Chris Stapleton, Noah Kahan and the Tragically Hip. We plan your set together, including a do-not-play list.

Can you provide a microphone for speeches?

Yes. A microphone for speeches and toasts is $100.

How do we book?

Send me your date through the booking form. If I'm free, I send a contract you can read and sign on your phone. A 50% deposit by Interac e-Transfer holds the date, and the balance is due a week before the wedding.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Summer Saturdays go first, and your date is only held once the contract is signed and the deposit is in.

Is your date open?

Tell me your date and venue and I'll get back to you within 24 hours with availability.
