For couples and corporate clients seeking a refined and intimate musical experience, I provide elegant acoustic performances that elevate luxury weddings, private estate events, and distinguished corporate gatherings. 

I offer a curated repertoire of soulful, artfully arranged love songs and refined acoustic guitar pieces designed to complement elegant ceremonies, private estates, and high-end destination celebrations. The result is a warm, refined atmosphere that feels effortless and inviting. Based on the Central Coast of California and traveling throughout the western United States, I deliver a bespoke soundtrack that feels personal, graceful, and meticulously crafted for every occasion.

About My Music

I love to share my music with couples starting their journey together. I understand how special and sacred that moment is. I feel honored to help make these moments even more special. Communication, reliability, and professionalism are cornerstones of my business and I will go the extra mile to make sure you are taken care of. Living in the Central Coast of California, I provide wedding services throughout California and in Zion National Park, Utah. My original music was recently featured on a commercial on all American Airlines flights nationally and globally. I have toured in the US and Europe as a duo with my wife Victoria in our band Many Miles. Learn more about my critically acclaimed original music here.

“His own unique style (think of a cross between Paul Simon and Jeff Buckley, not just in style but also in quality) hits such a level of perfection that it’s hard to comprehend anything more beautiful….I have come to know long before now, as Nick Drake was discovered to be, that Tate is one of the most unique singer-songwriters ever.”
