Anthony Cubbage was all the talk at our wedding, from playing music for when guest arrived, playing music as we all walked down the aisle and playing music for our outdoor cocktail hour. He added an element to our wedding that we will always remember. His ability to truly learn and play any genre of music is a gift! When asking for suggestions on music for certain parts of the wedding, he delivered in a big way! The ladies bridal party walked down to an acoustic version of girls just wanna have fun. My father and I walked down to sweet child of mine (a hit my dad loves and will forever cherish now) and my now husband and I walked down to I go blind by hootie. Many of our guest complimented the music choices and the talent of Anthony during our night. Hands down I would highly recommend Anthony for a wedding, and really any occasion. Throughout the entire planning process, and laying out our vision Anthony was great to work with and communicated very well! More...

Anthony Cubbage and his bands performance was beyond our expectations. He did our ceremony and reception. They took the time to really understand our style of music to setup the perfect set list. They were all so nice and easy to talk to. Throughout our entire preparation process, Anthony was very responsive and was easily available to chat whenever we needed to. Anthony and his band even went out of their way to learn songs on their break that our guests were requesting, and they played them perfectly. Their style and twist on covering songs we requested made for such a unique, danceable and great time! They really understood how to set different moods throughout the night. We definitely recommend Anthony Cubbage and his band for your wedding. We are extremely happy with the memories Anthony and his band helped us create! More...

If you're looking to add something truly unique, emotional and memorable to your wedding day, look no further. Anthony is one of the most talented songwriters I've ever heard, and his ability to feel, empathize, and tell stories comes together in perfect harmony through his music. It's not often you find somebody who has all the components to take a musician from great to one of a kind, but Anthony is absolutely that person. I wrote my vows and shared my first dance to a song that he wrote for me and my wife. We eloped on the black sand beach of Iceland, and brought a portable speaker so we could have this dance. Have you ever heard a song at the perfect moment and it feels like it could be included in the soundtrack to your life? Anthony will write that song for you, to pair with one of the most incredible moments of your life, and each time you listen to it again or it comes on shuffle, it'll take you right back to the moments you hold dear like an intimate journal entry only you and your spouse could ever truly feel. If you're even on the fence, don't hesitate to reach out. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. More...

Anthony is not only such a talented musician but is also a genuinely wonderful and kind person! He is so easy to work with and made our dreams come true with our first dance song. He also kept our guests entertained with some beautiful music while they waited for the ceremony to start. His voice is amazing and will adjust to whatever you’re looking for. I highly recommend him to play at your next big event!! You won’t be disappointed More...

What do you love most about your job?
Meeting people, and helping them focus on what's important to them. That goes for photography and music. I love seeing passion in people and helping them turn it into authentic action.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Honestly, paying off college loans was a huge part hahah. But I like owning my own business because I feel I know the amount of work that is right for me to deliver the best product to a client, and a having a boss decide that doesn't always lead to the best end result, due to being overworked or not doing work that I'm passionate about (such as photography and music)
Why should our clients choose you?
I love getting to know couples, and other clients, and bringing a level of creativity into a shoot that doesn't exist with a photographer that treats their work like a "job".
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I provide custom songwriting (for weddings or gifts) and songwriting lessons online as well as in-person.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Keeping distance, and asking the couple if masks would make them more comfortable (I have absolutely no problem with wearing one for a full day!). I'm open to any other suggestions or requests a client may need to feel comfortable in a shoot!

Custom Wedding Songs
Looking for the perfect wedding song for your first dance or for your vows, but can't find something that quite fits your story?
Anthony will write it (and professionally record it) from scratch with you guys, including all the small details that only you and your spouse will understand, and packaging that feeling into a song you can return to at any point of your life together.
Anthony Cubbage is an award-winning songwriter (LVMA Best New Artist 2018), composed full length scores for award winning films such as This is Norman (2019), and more recently worked with Grammy-award-winning artist Scott Hoying (from Pentatonix) on music for a documentary coming in 2023
