Solo piano and voice for a Catholic wedding ceremony starts at $400, and that includes a planning consultation where we choose every piece together. Each additional singer or instrumentalist is $150. A small ensemble or band is quoted to your event. Worship and church services start at $150.

Vietnamese, English, and Spanish, and I can move between them within a single Mass. Many of the families I play for want a bilingual ceremony, so the readings and the music carry meaning for every generation in the pews.

Yes. I have played Catholic ceremonies for years and know the shape of both a wedding Mass and a ceremony without Mass — from the prelude and processional through the responsorial psalm, the vows, the offertory and Communion, and the recessional. If your parish has specific rules about the music, I'll know them or find out before the day.

Yes — this is the work I'm known for. I sing fluently in Vietnamese and can blend Vietnamese hymns and devotions, like an Ave Maria or a Marian song during the offering of flowers, with English and Spanish so the whole family feels at home.

We do it together. I walk you through each moment of the ceremony, suggest pieces that fit your parish and your family, and sort out anything your church won't allow, so nothing surprises you on the day. You don't have to know the music in advance — that's my job.

As early as you can, especially for summer and fall dates, which fill first. Reach out with your date even if some details are still up in the air, and I'll tell you within a couple of days whether I'm free.

Usually, yes. For most weddings I join the rehearsal so the processional timing, the cues, and the song lengths are settled before the day — no guessing as you walk. If your rehearsal is far out or late in the evening, we can also walk through it by phone.

Yes. I'm happy to be your soloist alongside a parish organist or choir, or to take the whole ceremony myself — whichever your church prefers. I'll reach out to their music director ahead of time so everyone knows who's covering what.

Almost always. If there's a piece that means something — a family hymn, a song in your parents' language, the one from your first date — send it over. As long as it suits the ceremony and your parish allows it, I'll prepare it for you.

I bring a microphone and a small amp for the music when a room needs it, and that can often cover a reader or your vows too. For larger churches with their own sound system, I coordinate with whoever runs it so nothing is left to chance.

Your date is held once we've agreed on the details and you've sent a deposit; the balance is due closer to the day. I'll lay it all out in writing so there are no surprises. Until a date is reserved, I can only call it tentative.

Gladly. Send me your planner's contact and the run-of-show, and I'll fit the music into your timeline — prelude length, when to start the processional, how long Communion runs — so the day flows without anyone signaling me.

It has never happened, but I plan for it. I keep a small circle of trusted musicians I can call if I'm ever truly unable to be there, and I'd make sure you were cared for. Your day shouldn't hinge on a single point of failure.
