Flawless Events Down to the Smallest Detail

As an event planner, you take an enormous amount of care to ensure every event exceeds your client's expectations. Every detail is carefully planned and executed. You leave nothing to chance. And that’s what makes you a pro. You know the success of your event—and your reputation—hinges on your ability to rely on trusted vendor partners to be experts in their craft, professional when dealing with your clients and staff, and to deliver their services as promised. Finding musical entertainment that mirrors your company's brand promise can be one of your biggest challenges.

That's where we can help.

Our musicians are consummate professionals, combining years of music performance experience with decades of business acumen. At Courtney Burton Music, we view our music as creative expression and as a service business. As such, we’re committed to being prepared, flexible, proactive, reliable, and collaborative.

We are here to make your life a bit easier.

 

Courtney Burton Music was more than delightful. My clients raved about her music. I highly recommend you engage her for your next event.
