Crafting your story one note at a time.
Arranging the soundtrack to your most cherished moments—

Core
Values
#1
Signature
Arrangements
I have spent thousands of hours handcrafting fingerstyle versions of the songs you love—melody, harmony, and rhythm on one guitar—so they feel both familiar and beautifully new.
#2
Seamless Experience
Clear communication, quick proposals, and a simple planning process. I coordinate with your planner, arrive early, dress to the occasion, and bring top of the line equipment with built-in backups—so your only job is to enjoy the music.
#3
Bespoke
Soundscapes
Music should elevate, not overwhelm. I set conversation-friendly levels, place speakers thoughtfully, and mix for the space—indoors or outdoors—so every note fits your story and the vibe of every room.
Your ideal vibe, your way.

1. Ceremony
Live, elegant guitar sets the tone from the first guest arrival to your walk down the aisle. I perform a curated prelude, custom processional(s), and a joyful recessional—crafted in percussive fingerstyle so every moment feels intimate and cinematic.
2. Cocktail Hour
This is where the vibe lifts. Modern pop, classics, and tasteful throwbacks—reimagined on solo guitar—keep the energy up while still letting conversation flow. It’s the perfect backdrop for photos, mingling, and a signature drink.
3. Reception
From the first dance to dinner ambiance, I keep things polished and seamless. Warm, conversational volume as I visit each of the tables; I make sure to save a private concert and favorite songs for the sweetheart table. I can also coordinate with your DJ/emcee so the night flows without a hitch.

Meet Nathan
I stand among a small cohort of fingerstyle guitarists in the United States dedicated exclusively to weddings and private events. Before fingerstyle guitar became my main focus, I was a two-time Louisiana All-State Principal Cellist in consecutive years and a classically-trained pianist.No loops. No backing tracks. 100% live. My instrumental arrangements are all original arrangements—think your favorite songs re-imagined for one guitar, rich with melody, harmony, and bass lines simultaneously. I play my arrangements from memory while simultaneously engaging guests in conversation.I love learning new skills, meeting new people, and I get just as excited to perform now as I was when I was 7 years old. When I am not busy crafting new arrangements, I love playing tennis, searching for great deals, and binge-watching my favorite shows.
