Weddings
Your wedding day is one of life's most anticipated and treasured events. The ceremony itself can stop the sands of time - a sacred moment between you and your spouse-to-be, witnessed and embraced by your guests, celebrated and cherished for years to come, only heightened by the etherial beauty of the human voice. As a frequent wedding soloist, Tina serves as a valuable resource when it comes to selecting vocal music for your special day. The following list of vocal classics can serve as an initial guide to your search. To help get you started, feel free to use the Wedding Request Form as a starting point. The completed form may be emailed back to Tina.
Confirm that your venue provides a pianist or organist and that there is a tuned piano or organ on-site. Most religious venues provide a staff keyboardist. If your venue does not provide a keyboard or accompanist, Tina is happy to work with you to obtain them.

Rehearsal Dinners
Prior to the big day, some couples wish to include an element of music in thier rehearsal dinners. This tradition allows for a special time when the members of the wedding party, families, and friends come together one last time before the bride and groom become the new Mr. & Mrs. Should you have a sentimental song that you would like specially sung to your bride- or groom-to-be, or to all of your special guests in general, consult with Tina about the specifics. She will help create your desired sentiment.
Pricing
Pricing for wedding ceremonies is determined on a case-by-case basis and is contingent upon the following factors: number of musical pieces, difficulty of repertoire, requested additional singer(s)/instrumentalist(s)/keyboard, rehearsal time with accompanist, and travel distance to the event. There also may be a separate fee associated with the accompanist, depending on your venue’s arrangement. Be sure to connect with your venue’s contact person.
Saturday and Sunday Worship Services
In addition to singing for wedding ceremonies and celebration of life services, she enjoys the opportunity to give thanks and share her gift at Saturday or Sunday services. She has sung as cantor, soloist, and substitute for many area churches including Church of the Ascension, Chicago; First Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago, Glenview, Wauconda, Palatine, and Winnetka; and St. Benedict Catholic Church, Chicago.
