One performer. Hundreds of songs. Music tailored to your day.
A Musical Thread Through Your Wedding Day
Your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception each have a different purpose and atmosphere. The music can change with them.
Ceremony
Create a warm, personal setting for the moments that matter most.
- Prelude music as guests arrive
- Processional and recessional music
- Live performances of meaningful songs
- Timing coordinated with your planner or officiant
- Professional sound for indoor or outdoor ceremonies
Ceremony music is performed with sensitivity to the moment—present and emotionally resonant without becoming distracting.
Cocktail Hour
As formal moments give way to conversation and celebration, Steven provides familiar, welcoming music that helps guests relax and connect.
- Crowd-pleasing songs spanning six decades
- Warm acoustic guitar and vocals
- Requests welcomed
- Appropriate volume for conversation
- Optional live looping for added rhythm and variety
Dinner and Early Reception
During dinner, the music can remain polished and unobtrusive. As the evening develops, it can become more interactive and energetic.
Steven can move from acoustic background music to familiar favorites, requests, singalongs, and selected full-band arrangements—all without changing performers or adding complicated production.
If you have hired a DJ or band for dancing later in the evening, Steven can provide a seamless live-music experience through the ceremony, cocktails, and dinner before handing off the celebration.
From Intimate Acoustic Music to a Full-Band Sound
Some weddings call for understated acoustic music throughout. Others begin intimately and become livelier as guests settle in and the celebration builds.
Steven offers a range of musical possibilities:
Acoustic
Expressive fingerstyle guitar and vocals for ceremonies, cocktails, dinner, and quieter moments.
Live Looping
Selected songs are built live with percussion, bass, guitar, and vocal layers, creating spontaneous arrangements and unexpected musical moments.
Full-Band Sound
When the celebration calls for more energy, professionally arranged accompaniment adds the feel and momentum of a band while Steven continues performing the lead vocal and guitar live.
The flexibility of a solo performer. The energy of something much bigger.
Hundreds of Songs. A Performance That Feels Personal.
Nearly two decades fronting The Dogtones, one of Seattle’s hardest-working cover bands, has given Steven a deep catalog of familiar hits and an instinctive ability to read an audience and find the right song for the moment.
His repertoire spans six decades—from Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and James Taylor to Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Prince, Tears for Fears, and more recent favorites.
That range makes it possible to create a performance that reflects your tastes while also connecting with different generations of guests. Requests are welcome, and meaningful songs can be discussed during the planning process.
