About

Hello, I am Melody . . .

A professional wedding and church pianist serving the Tampa Bay Area. For more than twenty-five years, I’ve provided elegant solo piano music for ceremonies, worship services, and special events. Whether you’re planning a wedding, church service, or celebration, I bring both musical skill and heartfelt expression to create a meaningful atmosphere for your occasion.

About Me

My husband, Dale, and I have lived in Largo, Florida for over twenty-six years. We love family and have six amazing children. Dale has pastored churches in four states, but we have chosen Florida as our home. Dale is also a licensed wedding officiant, and we often perform weddings together.

I initially studied as a classical pianist, but have had the opportunities to add pop music, love songs, inspirational music, R&B, show tunes, and a number of other genres to my repertoire. All of those styles are easily and frequently incorporated into weddings based on the preferred style of the Bride and Groom.
