​Nancy James
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding day! Welcome to the Bridal page and what I hope will
be a helping hand in planning the music for your ceremony. I would be honored to be a part of the music you choose to accompany your muptials as the vocalst for your wedding ceremony.
I have worked at just about every church in the Tri-State , and am on their approved list of vocalists,
so I am happy to work with the Music Director from your church. If you choose an alternate site, I can also help provide the musical accompaniment for my vocals that is perfectly suited for that setting.
I can arrange the hiring of the musicians who specialize in Wedding Music. Trios with harp/cello/flute, guitar/bass/flute, string quartets, piano. We can add trumpet, violin, even a bagpipe to enhance the effects you wish to achieve.
