Weddings

Every wedding ceremony is unique …. the music should be too! You deserve to have your favourite song performed live at your wedding, sure you may be able to have the original artist perform it for you, but this isn’t always possible, and recordings capture a different “time and place” than the unique setting that you have chosen to get married in. 

The Spanish guitar ticks all the boxes, it’s romantic, intimate, versatile, and beautiful sounding like your vision of your wedding ceremony. You can have your favourite song performed as a unique & romantic arrangement on the guitar just for you. As an example, have a listen to my example of Elvis Presley’s – “Cant Help Falling in Love”. 



All of these songs and many more have beautiful arrangements just like “Can’t Help Falling In Love”:

I Knew I Loved You – Savage Garden,

Bad Dreams – Teddy Swims,

Perfect – Ed Sheeran,

Faded – Alan Walker.

All of Me – John Legend,

This Love – Taylor Swift,

A Thousand Years – Christina Perri,

Thinking Out Loud – Ed Sheeran,

Say You Won’t Let Go – James Arthur,

Love Me Like You Do – Ellie Goulding,

Everything – Michael Bublé,

Your Song – Elton John


Almost every song can be arranged in this way, and if there isn’t a good arrangement already made, I put pen to paper and arrange the piece myself.

Client Reviews:


“We recently had Braden to play for us at our wedding in January. He did such an amazing job creating the perfect ambience for our special day. He got in touch a few days before and just really made us feel at ease and just made an effort to confirm all the details which we really loved. He was accomodating to my specific songs requests and was so great at the timing for everything (even when the flower girl took longer than expected). Guests are still raving about Braden and how beautifully he played. I would definitely recommend him for your next event if you are after some classical music. Thanks again Braden for making our special day even more magical!”

“Braden played his guitar at our wedding during both the ceremony and afterwards during canapes. He was amazing to deal with and learnt our aisle song in the space of a week due to us booking him last minute but Hannah and I were so happy we did as he really helped make our day perfect! Could not recommend him enough.”

“We had the pleasure of having Braden play at our wedding in Wanaka in the middle of April this year. We could not have asked for a more professional, talented and genuine musician to serenade our day. Aside from Braden’s incredible talent on the guitar, he also went above and beyond to make the entire process simple and stress free through meeting with us to perform a few various options for the entrance song, exit song and canapé theme. Braden’s playing was just stunning, and we received so many compliments afterwards about how great he was. We really couldn’t recommend him highly enough!! “
