Live Music for Weddings
More Moose and its corps of talented musicians have performed live music for hundreds of weddings, so we have the experience to make your special day musically perfect!

There are 3 key time frames in your wedding:

  • Pre-Ceremony: as the guests arrive, it's important to make them feel welcome and at ease. The feel is subdued, yet expectant. Acoustic music often fits the bill, especially Celtic (Irish) or Medieval/Renaissance or Classical. Or a combination of all-of-the-above!
  • The Ceremony: the Processional, the Ceremony itself, and the Recessional.
    As the wedding party processes to the altar, it's important to create an atmosphere of dignity and joyful anticipation. Choose from old stand-bys such as Pachelbel's Canon, Wagner's Bridal Chorus (Here Comes the Bride), or use a favorite of your own. Mendelssohn's Wedding March is an ever-popular favorite for the recessional, but often a favorite Celtic tune is desired. We'll work with you to help pick just the right music for a balanced atmosphere of joy and solemnity.
  • Post-Ceremony/Reception: now is the time for real celebration! Often a major boost in energy is called for; More Moose rises to the occasion with rock 'n' roll or Celtic rock. Or perhaps you'd like to continue the acoustic feeling with traditional Irish pub music.

Your wedding is your own, and is unique! We don't work with canned music, DJs, or a stale one-size-fits-all approach. We consult with you to make sure your ideal vision of your special event becomes a reality.

Performance Schedule

August 1st, 2nd, 8th, and 9th: Kelly McCubbin’s Golden Hour of Radio - 8pm at The Exit Theater, San Francisco

That’s right – I’m starring (ok, matter of opinion) in a brilliant new play called Kelly McCubbin’s Golden Hour of Radio! (or: the Ukeapocalypse Radio Hour). I’ll be playing “beleaguered announcer” Murray, as well as Risk Management Specialist Endrin Smyzel. The cast is a tremendously talented group, some of whom you know already, the rest of which you should.

This original play, penned by local writers including Rey Zegri and Chad McComber (of Single Entendre fame),  features the hilarious misadventures of a dysfunctional contemporary radio theater company. The second half features an “On Air” performance of an original sci-fi radio script! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll kiss 15 bucks goodbye!

Save the Dates Now! There will be 4 performances only!

August 1st, 2nd, 8th, and 9th! (For you laymen, that’s the first couple of Friday and Saturday nights in August.)

There might be cake! OK, there will be cake. We're bringing it.

Back in the Stone Age -- 15 years ago -- just after the monkeys stopped throwing things at obelisks, there arose out of the ground a great Celtic rock band, and barely to be heard over the chanting of the Druids, was the band name, "Avalon Rising." (As good a creation myth as any.) At one point, there were other people in the band. Now there are these people in the band. Go figure. Step with us --- into the future! Will there be flying cars? No, only us, just like we are today, only it'll be the 19th. Amazing! Astounding! Good thing there's going to be cake.

Come on down and join us in a toast to 15 years of Celtic rock!
