Why Joshua suits LGBTQ+ couples

Joshua D. Colbert is LGBTQ+-owned. Live music gives you full control over the mood, and because he can arrange pop as well as classical pieces, you can choose songs that mean something to the two of you.

Ensembles and experience

Joshua can work with other musicians to arrange duets with violin, piano, guitar and flute, or string trios and quartets. He holds a bachelor's degree in violoncello performance and a master's degree in arts administration. He has performed along the East Coast and in parts of Italy, and he teaches cello and piano.

Music planning

Joshua works with each client to help plan the event from start to finish. Choose your processional, recessional and any special moments early, and share a song list so the arrangements can be prepared. Confirm the space, shade, power and rain plans for the ensemble.

Where he works

He performs across the Carolinas from Myrtle Beach. Ask about travel when you request availability.

Getting the details right

Entertainment works when the plan is clear. Walk through your timeline with the provider, from the first dance to the last song, and ask how they handle announcements. Confirm the space and power they need, setup and breakdown times, and what happens if equipment fails. Share any songs you want played or avoided, and put the agreed hours and overtime terms in the contract.
