Honey+Vinyl

After years working at a luxury entertainment design company in NYC, I noticed a void in live music, one where planners saw music as the background to the main event rather than something that can guide and elevate it. The bands weren’t listening to the room. We should make deliberate music choices based on the people in it, reacting to them. Not the other way around. My desire to create this harmony sparked the founding of Honey+Vinyl in 2013. Ten years in the industry, she began to dive deeper into the science of sound; how lighting, décor, food and timing interact with music, which drove her to establish the Sonic Sommelier™ service.

Songs were created for people to remember important moments. When we gather, music is the thing that ties it all together. It’s what’s helping people create those memories. As a Sonic Sommelier, I help make that happen. I consider the song selection and timing the same way a wine sommelier does complexity and terroir. Knowing what needs to happen and when, and pairing it with the perfect sound and volume, ensures your event flows beautifully and seamlessly. I collaborate with designers, planners, caterers and venues to design a soundscape that complements your love story.
