Braden Southee is an active professional classical guitarist, he performs solo concerts all around New Zealand, and at international arts festivals.
A life time of study, on top of natural ability means Braden is an efficient reliable professional, capable of crafting the music to perfection. Enjoy yourselves as he performs from his beautiful Spanish repertoire while you and your guests settle in to celebrations with champagne and canape’s.
With an immense and diverse range of experience, Braden is a guarantee your music will reflect your unique wedding.
Every wedding ceremony is unique …. the music should be too! You deserve to have your favourite song performed live at your wedding, sure you may be able to have the original artist perform it for you, but this isn’t always possible and usually not very cost effective, plus recordings capture a different time and place than the unique setting that you have chosen to get married in.
The Spanish guitar ticks all the boxes, it’s romantic, intimate, versatile, and beautiful sounding like your vision of your wedding ceremony. You can have your favourite song performed as a unique & romantic arrangement on the guitar just for you. As an example, have a listen to my example of Elvis Presley’s – Cant Help Falling in Love.
All of these songs and many more have beautiful arrangements just like “Can’t Help Falling In Love”:
