Townley Music

Q: What do you wear?

Nathan currently has vests/outfits for B&W, brown/tweed, maroon, and canary yellow. I (Alisha) generally wear a dress cohesive with Nathan's colors & the day's weather. Feel free to request colors, say for example you would like me to avoid the color worn by the wedding party.

Q: Do you learn new songs?

Absolutely! We are willing to learn any sort of tune/song from many styles of music, with aims to find out if the requested piece sounds right with our instrumentation. We have new songs included in all of our packages.

Q: We want a special song during the ceremony, sung by us / a friend. Would you be willing to accompany that?

Certainly. Let us know what instrumentation you would prefer and send a recording of what you are planning on playing/singing so we can make sure it is sounding great. We can also work around planning extra rehearsals to include/accompany a special, wherever necessary.

Q: How early do you come to set up?

We usually prefer to arrive a healthy hour or more before the ceremony. If we are bringing a sound system, we arrive closer to 3 hours before the ceremony. If there are other unknowns we need to work through, potentially earlier than that.

Q: What is your travel and break down fee?

Anywhere within an hour (about 50 miles) of Red Bluff requires no travel fee. Outside of that radius, we charge $45 flat fee and then $0.75 per mile after the 50 mile mark.

Q: I want to make sure the music matches my expectations, can you send demos?

Yes. As long as we are given a reasonable amount of time to work on the material, we are happy to take a raw recording and send it over as a sample to help you decide. We want to make sure you have something perfect for you for the special moments of your wedding day, and we are willing to do the extra work to make sure that happens!

Q: Can you provide specialty or religious music?

Yes. Specifically, we play Christian music. Within this are a range of styles (hymnal, gospel, contemporary...) we are fond of and comfortable with all of these!

Q: There is a piano at the venue. Can you play on that instead of a keyboard?

Absolutely. Nathan is also a piano tuner, so if you are in need of this service, he charges $200 for a full tuning/cleaning and will inclusively fix any minor issues.

Q: What can I find your repertoire?

We have a repertoire available to be seen on our website, townleymusic.com, including the most popular songs we play from each genre. Feel free to ask about specific songs you might want and ask for more extensive repertoire lists.

About Townley Music

Townley Music

We are a husband and wife musical duo of piano & violin/fiddle/cello! Both of us have been drawn to and pursued music with love and passion throughout our upbringing. We love what we do. Nathan is a professionally trained jazz pianist and accomplished multi-instrumentalist, also playing many Irish instruments. I (Alisha) have played the violin/fiddle since childhood and over the years have dived into playing the cello. Playing music together is our greatest joy, and we would love to serve and celebrate with you!

As someone who loves my craft and cares deeply about marriage, I am here to help curate your music to correspond elegantly with who you are while pleasing and entertaining your guests! When you choose to work with us, you can contact me at all hours of the day so we can fine tune the music your perfect day! As music enthusiasts ourselves, we appreciate and play a number of styles including Jazz, Celtic/Irish, Pop, Video Game / Movie themes, Gospel / Christian Contemporary, Old-Time American, Texas style fiddling, and other folk styles.

Townley Music was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! They were incredibly communicative from the beginning and worked closely with us to bring our musical dreams for the ceremony to life. They listened intently to our preferences and provided thoughtful song recommendations when we needed guidance. On the day of, the Townley Music team was incredibly professional, punctual, and personable - they truly made our wedding day feel special. The quality of their work was top-notch, and we were thrilled with how the music turned out. We couldn't have asked for a better musical experience, and we highly recommend Townley Music to any couple looking to make their wedding day unforgettable.

My guests and I absolutely loved having Townley Music play at my wedding. Nathan and Alisha were introduced to me by my wedding photographer who also played at her wedding. Not only are they both extremely talented and passionate about music, they were really great and easy to work with as well. They took the time to sit with us to curate a list of songs, they were open to learning new songs we requested, and even traveled a day early to be at the rehearsal. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to work with musicians who are professional and care about your event just as much as you do.

Nathan and Alisha are wonderful to work with. They are very kind people and their music is beautiful! They played a couple instrumental songs for my ceremony procession and it was perfect!
