A tailored experience, note by note
From the moment your first guests are seated to the joyful celebration of your first kiss as a married couple, live piano brings a depth that recorded music simply can’t.
I’ll work with you to create custom arrangements of songs that hold deep personal meaning—be they timeless classics, modern favorites, or melodies uniquely yours.
Whether for a formal ceremony, a private vow reading, or the quiet significance of signing your license, every arrangement is crafted with care and styled to bespeak the spirit of your day.

Gracefully guiding the rhythm of your reception
A well-paced wedding reception doesn’t call attention to itself—it simply flows. As your emcee, I’ll provide a steady presence—meeting the energy of the room—and ensure your guests feel welcomed while your reception remains grounded and intentional.
From heartfelt introductions to meaningful transitions between speeches, I’ll deliver each moment with clarity and calm. With just the right balance of formality and familiarity, my role is styled to honor the tone of your story and let the spotlight remain exactly where it belongs—on you.
Where Story Becomes Sound
I’m Brian—pianist, event host, and founder of Ballad & Bond. I believe music is more than background—it’s a bridge between memory and meaning.
With nearly three decades of experience behind the keys, I bring a calm, intuitive presence to every ceremony I’m invited into.
If art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time. And what more beautiful moment to honor than the time you say
“I do”?
A wedding isn’t just an event—it’s a rhythm, a flow, a once-in-a-lifetime sequence of moments. My role is to listen closely, craft intentionally, and help you tell your love story in a language deeper than words.
