Range of Services

Prelude

The collection of music that is played before the start of the ceremony as guests arrive and take their seats. It is meant to create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere and sets the tone for the ceremony, giving guests something to enjoy as they wait for the main event to begin.

Recessional

This selection is played at the end of your wedding ceremony, just after you have been pronounced married and are walking back up the aisle. The recessional is typically a joyful and upbeat piece of music that signifies the end of the ceremony and the start of the celebration. This music is meant to convey the happiness and excitement of the moment, and to encourage your guests to cheer and applaud as you make your exit.

Dinner

It's important to set the right tone for your dinner music, to provide a beautiful soundscape that continues your wedding day's theme while not overpowering conversation. Instrumental arrangements of recognizable songs will also provide your guests with a conversation starter, and maintain a cohesive feel throughout your celebration.

Audio Equipment

High Quality Professional speakers and all the gear that goes with them, from speaker stands to cables and cords are included to ensure that you don't have to deal with musician-specific rental equipment. I offer battery powered speakers for remote locations where power is unavailable, as well as powered QSC K10.2 and K12.2 monitors for ample sound and superb quality. Wherever your love takes you, I'll be there. 

Vendor Coordination

On your wedding day the last thing you should be concerning yourself with is organizing vendors and worrying if everything is on track. That's why you hired professionals. I make it a point to touch base day-of with your planning team or venue staff, to ensure everyone's on the same page regarding cues and to make any minor adjustments as required by common day-of fluctuations.

Processional

This is the selection that is played as your wedding party enters the ceremony space and walks down the aisle. This music creates a sense of anticipation and excitement among the guests. The order of the Processional can begin with your families or with the officiant, with the wedding party following.

Postlude

The Postlude is played after the conclusion of the wedding ceremony, as guests exit the ceremony space. The purpose of the Postlude is to create a sense of excitement and anticipation for the festivities to come, while also providing a pleasant musical backdrop for guests to chat and mingle as they make their way to the next phase of your celebration.

Dancing

From your showstopping first dance to sentimental family dances, a live performance of a special song will create that emotional moment that tugs at heart strings and imprints a lasting magical memory.

Personal Planning Page

I know that managing all your vendors can quickly become overwhelming. That's why I provide you with your very own Personal Planning Page on my website, where you will have immediate access to your most up-to-date song list, timeline, audio clips, invoice and contract from either your computer or smart phone. With everything right at your fingertips and password protected, you can rest easy knowing that I've got you covered.

Recordings

Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime occasion that you'll want to experience again and again. That's why I offer full-length songs recorded especially for you in my studio. These are perfect for including in your wedding video, or simply to treasure for years to come.

Grand Entrance

The Grand Entrance is the most highly anticipated moment of the wedding Ceremony. Selecting the right music is an opportunity for you to showcase your unique style and personality, and to make a statement about your love and commitment to each other, creating a memorable and magical experience that makes your wedding day even more special and significant.

Cocktail Hour

This is the start of your party, where we’ll create a fun and enjoyable ambiance for each and every one of your family and friends, getting everyone tapping their toes and mingling. From meeting new acquaintances to reuniting old friends, the right music creates the vibe that resonates with your guests and creates lasting memories.

Arrangements

Your love story is unlike any other, which is why your music should be unique to you. From arrangements of songs meaningful to your culture, to custom arrangements of "your song" as a couple, and everything in between, we'll make each moment uniquely yours. Learn more here.

Setup and Teardown

No need to worry about additional time for setup or teardown. I automatically allot a set amount of time in your timeline to ensure that I'm in position and out of the way of your guests before they arrive, for a seamless and smooth experience.

Customization

Your wedding day is all about you, which is why I customize every aspect of your music especially for you,  from the selections to the timeline to the genres of your songs, to bring your vision to life and create that magical experience of a lifetime.

"It was absolutely beautiful and just how I imagined"

"I had the honor of having Christie play at my intimate wedding...It was absolutely beautiful and just how I imagined. I was going for a romantic garden theme and having the live violinist really added the perfect touch. Working with Christie was one of the most low maintenance parts of wedding planning and I was incredibly grateful for that! After our initial call, she sent me her song lists and some suggestions, and I sent her back the songs I wanted - so simple. She also arranged a song for us not on her song list that I requested! On the day of the wedding Christie arrived on time and set up her equipment all by herself and didn’t need any more directions - a true professional! She has lovely back tracks that enhance the sound of the violin, without taking away the live music feel. I thought having a solo violinist was perfect and would absolutely recommend Christie Becker to anyone for live music (for any event!) Having someone to gauge pace and fade out the music easily was such a smart decision that I would suggest! Christie herself is also very friendly and I saw her talking to many guests after the ceremony who were complimenting her music."

"she gave a stunning performance that left our guests in awe"

"Christie was absolutely wonderful to work with for our Indian wedding reception. She was timely in her responses, respectful, professional, flexible, and kind, and she worked well with our other vendors (sound/light, planners) to ensure that things would go smoothly day of. She worked with us in advance to plan the songs she would play and allowed us to choose multiple Bollywood songs, some of which were from a list she provided of songs she had played before and others which were not. On the day of, she gave a stunning performance that left our guests in awe. She played a beautiful medley of the songs we had discussed, and it was definitely one of the best highlights of the evening. I would definitely recommend Christie - she is incredibly talented and so great to work with!"
