Music By Nate

Having collaborated with Nate on the musical «Life 101» and seeing his process, I am convinced of his integrity, talent, and passion. Nate brings genuine emotion, humor, and dedication to every project he undertakes. His music is unique and sticks with you long after you have heard it. To have someone write an original score for a musical is exciting. But even more exciting when that musical is the start of your life with your best friend and the love of your life. I would encourage you to listen to samples of Nate’s work. His work is original and authentic. It will be an energy that will take your special event and make it a highlight of the lives of everyone involved. From time to time a tune of Nate’s will make its way to my mind and the memories flow with it. This is the power of Nate’s original music composition.

I have 2 MBN experiences under my belt! I was first introduced to Nate’s music when I saw his musical, Life 101, performed. It was great! Sincere, funny, and totally engaging.
My second experience was while standing up in a wedding. He created all the music for the ceremony and my BFF (the bride) was SO HAPPY. I thought the music was really beautiful, but more importantly, she LOVED it. She & her husband worked with Nate to create something really unique, which spoke to who the are as people and who they are as a couple. As the day approached, the part she was most excited about was that first moment he would see her in her beautiful dress, with her song playing. They also had a first dance song created for them, and that dance, scored by what will forever be «their song,» brought tears to a few eyes. I would definitely recommend his work. He really got to who they were and made sure their day was extra special. They’ll have that music forever, which is more than you can say for anything else after the day!

Sometimes weddings can be a little crazy. Many friends and family have hopes for how things will go for you. Thoughts about how they would like things to go. You can get a little lost in trying to please. For my wedding, in all the chaos there were a few things I insisted be exactly as I wanted them so when I looked back on my day those things would stand out as having made the day personal and special and wonderful. Something that was «us.» The absolute most special thing I had was music made just for us by Nate. It was beautiful. I felt joy when I heard my song start before I walked down the aisle. No one had ever heard it before and it was lovely and just as I wanted it. Unexpectedly though the best part about having those songs is that today I can listen to them whenever I like and it takes me back there like nothing else can. You will really love what you get from Nate and you will love that it is only for you. Nevermind he’s an awesome guy and really easy to work with.
Today I bounce my kids around to my beautiful recessional. :)

My wedding day wasn’t the most amazing day of my life, but it was really amazing! My favorite part was my music. I actually get to say MY MUSIC because It was written for ME. Nate Sanford composed all original music for me, my wedding party and my flower girl to walk down the aisle to. And another song for after the ceremony after my husband and I were announced and we walked the other way out of the garden as ‘man and wife’. My wedding coordinator (in her attempt to keep the procession going) tried to get me to start walking early– but I simply said to her– «thats not my song yet» and waited until I heard MY MUSIC:) No one else will ever walk down the aisle to the same song ever again, unless I give them permission. Besides the fact that I loved the music that was written for me (lots of harp, because I told Nate I love harp) I really had something special, that was very unique, and original. Plus it was an over all exciting experience, from the first consultation with the composer, to hearing the final product and seeing the sheet music in person. Nate did my wedding in Chicago in 2008 before he even had a website, but now I can highly highly highly recommend
to brides! And congratulations on your new website Nate!
