Weddings

This is not your typical wedding band. I offer a variety of musical services to support your vision for your wedding’s tone and aesthetic. I have performed hundreds of weddings across the country and have worked closely with countless couples and top wedding planners to deliver music, energy, and polish to every single wedding I play. Whether it’s an acoustic rendition of your favorite song to accompany your walk down the isle, a nostalgic tune for a father-daughter dance, or energetic covers to get your family and friends on the dance floor, it is always such a deep honor to bring my musical voice to your special day. I perform a diverse range of genres, from folk, smooth R&B, and rock music, to the latest top-40 hits. If there is a special-to-you song that is not featured on my song list, I would love to learn it!

Wedding planning can be stressful. Every wedding is a complicated production of moving parts, people working together to fulfill their various interdependent roles, and tiny details matter. I make sure that the couples I perform weddings for receive beautiful, tone-setting music delivered with professional polish and absolute reliability.

As either a solo performer or with my amazing band, I am available for:

  • Ceremonies

  • Cocktail Hours

  • Receptions

  • Rehearsal Dinners

  • Wedding-Related Showers & Parties

If you would like to discuss hiring me to perform for your wedding celebrations, send me a message through my booking page.

Wedding Client Testimonials

  • "Anticipating the task of choosing entertainment for my reception dinner caused so much anxiety. My husband and I have completely different taste in music so I knew it would be difficult to agree on what we wanted. Then I stumbled upon Obadiah Parker. Obadiah was completely accommodating and played acoustic versions of several different genres of music. Soundgarden, Adele, Coldplay, Ray Charles, and even The Toadies... Obadiah did it all beautifully. The guests loved the mix of style almost as much as my husband and I did. It was the perfect representation of two people coming together as one. I highly recommend booking Obadiah Parker for your event. You will not be disappointed!" - Nichole

  • "I own a wedding planning company in Arizona and I have worked with Obadiah/Mat over the years and he always does an incredible job. I am not sure how he is not famous yet. He is beyond talented and extremely professional. He always shows up early and goes above and beyond for the client. I seriously cannot say enough good things about him. I also decided to hire him for my very own wedding because I cannot get enough of his voice. I can't recommend him enough! Do yourself a favor and hire him. You won't regret it." - Sarrah

  • "Obadiah Parker performed solo for our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour--including a special song he learned just for us. Hearing him play while I walked down the aisle with my father is something I will never forget. He then performed as a band with three other talented musicians during dinner followed by dancing for our reception. Our guests were blown away by the music, and my husband and I felt lucky to be able to enjoy them once again on our special night. Obadiah Parker was incredibly wonderful to work with and assisted us every step of the way, from music selection and playlists (we had the flexibility of including our own song choices during the band's breaks) to emceeing our event and equipment rentals (for officiant and toasts). We would highly recommend Obadiah Parker for any event" - Nancy

  • "My wife and I were looking for someone talented, authentic and easy to work with to serenade our bridal party down the aisle and guests at the cocktail party. Videos do not do Obadiah justice in terms of the quality of his voice/guitar skills and how much his presence adds to an event. We chose relatively popular songs for our bridal party, first dance and cocktail party, but Obadiah made them each uniquely his own (all acoustic) which created the authentic rustic relaxed vibe we were going for. In this highly lucrative world, Obadiah was one of the best values we got at our entire wedding and I could not recommend using him more to anyone getting married to add to the special day/weekend!" - David
