What I do

Music that fits the moment. Not the other way around.

A beach ceremony doesn't need the same energy as a packed cocktail hour, and a grandmother's birthday isn't a corporate gala. I watch the room, adjust on the fly, and play exactly what it needs.

I learn songs by ear, sight-read on the spot, and write custom arrangements when you want something nobody else is doing. Solo piano, or a handpicked duo, trio, or quartet.

A real ceremony

Canon in D, then the Sunday Night Football theme.

A groom asked to walk in to Canon in D and have it turn into the Sunday Night Football theme as his cue. From there it had to flow into Can't Help Falling in Love for the bridal party, then the Jonas Brothers for the bride.

Four songs. One continuous piece of music. No dead air. The guys caught the fanfare and the whole room laughed, then the bride walked in to her song.

That's the job: listen first, then build the moment around what matters to you.

From couples
At our rehearsal, a processional song written for guitar fell apart. Isaac listened to it a few times and rewrote it for piano in about ten minutes. If you want ceremony music that feels personal and unforgettable, Isaac is the one.
Diana & Jeryc
He played the songs perfectly and ended right as the bride got to the altar. During cocktail hour an old man requested some obscure song from the 70s. Isaac had no problem playing it. The guy can play anything!
Jenn & Dan
His ability to take meaningful songs, even unconventional ones, and turn them into beautiful wedding arrangements is something special.
Jenna & Zach
He learns and plays 25+ songs a month with different performers and themes, and masters all of them. As a singer, I feel secure and supported with his playing.
