Weddings & Private Events
The stillest hour of the wedding weekend.
A live sound ceremony inside your celebration: gongs, singing bowls, guitar, and voice, layered in real time for the people you love most. Based in Telluride, Colorado.
Why a ceremony
A wedding weekend is loud in the best way. This is the hour that balances it.
Between the travel, the toasts, and the dance floor, the weekends people remember usually have one quiet hour at their center. A moment when everyone stops producing the celebration and lands in it. A sound ceremony is that hour, built by a musician: live instruments layered in real time, a clear beginning, a clear ending, and nothing anyone has to do except lie back and listen.
Everything is played live, never from a playlist: gongs, singing bowls, bells and chimes, shamanic drums, guitar, and voice, layered with synths and live looping, with field recordings placed underneath — composed as it happens, for the room and the people actually in it.
Sound bath, sound journey, sound ceremony — what’s the difference?The weekend
Four places it fits
- 01 · Welcome evening
Open the weekend
Guests arrive from airports and long drives carrying the week they just left. An opening ceremony sets all of that down, so the weekend begins on the first night.
- 02 · Morning of
Ground the couple
For the two of you, or for you and the wedding party. An hour of stillness before the biggest day: breathe, and walk in with your feet under you.
- 03 · Cocktail hour
Hold the golden hour
A live ambient set while guests mingle: looped guitar and bowls, with textures built in real time. Music that carries the hour and leaves the conversation alone.
- 04 · The day after
Let it land
When the confetti settles, a closing ceremony gives the weekend somewhere to arrive: a slower, softer gathering for whoever stayed, before everyone scatters home.
For planners & booking agents
Built to be easy to produce
- Self-contained rig. I carry the full performance setup: instruments, electronics, and the playback setup the room needs, designed over years for exactly this work. Tell me the space; I build for it.
- Indoors or outdoors. Ballroom, barn, tent, meadow, or gallery — every setup is made for the space it’s in, and a weather plan is part of any outdoor conversation.
- Any size gathering. From the couple alone to the full guest list. The format flexes: a lying-down ceremony for a smaller circle, an ambient live set for a crowd.
- Based in Telluride. Serving Mountain Village, Ridgway, Ouray, Durango, and venues across the region. For gatherings further afield, I travel for retreats and private events.
- Lead time. Wedding calendars fill early, and the earlier the better. Holding the date early means the ceremony gets built into the timeline while the timeline is still soft. If your date is close, ask anyway.
Hear it first
Come hear the real thing
I play free public sound ceremonies at the Wilkinson Public Library in Telluride through fall 2026. If you’re planning a wedding here, or you book events for people who are, come lie down in one. It is the fastest way to know whether this belongs in your weekend.
No pitch, no follow-up. Just the instruments, and two hours of what your guests would get.
Upcoming ceremoniesPrivate events
Not only weddings.
A proposal with an audience of one. An anniversary. A milestone birthday. A team gathered in the mountains to remember why they work together. If a day matters enough to gather people, a ceremony fits inside it — the same live instruments, sized to the room and the occasion.

Asked while planning
What is a wedding sound bath?
A live, immersive listening experience inside a wedding weekend. Guests lie down or sit, close their eyes, and live music washes over them: gongs, singing bowls, chimes, drums, guitar, and voice, layered in real time. I build mine as full sound ceremonies, with an opening, an arc, and a closing; a planner's timeline may still say sound bath, because that is the phrase most people know.
Do you work outside Telluride?
I'm based in Telluride, Colorado, and Mountain Village, Ridgway, Ouray, Durango, and venues across the region are all close to home. Beyond that, I travel for retreats and private gatherings — if you're bringing people together somewhere further afield, tell me about it.
How many guests can a sound ceremony hold?
The format flexes with the gathering. A ceremony works for two people, a wedding party, or a full guest list. The setup is built for the specific space, and a larger group can take the form of a lying-down ceremony or a standing ambient set, depending on the moment in the weekend.
Can a sound ceremony happen outdoors?
Yes, weather permitting. The whole setup packs in, so a meadow, a terrace, or a tent works as well as a ballroom. Outdoors in the mountains, the sound has somewhere to go. A weather plan is part of every outdoor booking conversation.
How far in advance should we book?
The earlier the better. Wedding weekends are planned months out, and holding the date early means the ceremony can be designed into the weekend rather than added to it. If your date is close, reach out anyway. Dates open up.
