Welcome to the
Ceremonial Music Maker
This website is the place to book an experienced organist for weddings, funerals, and memorials. With over 20 years of experience playing and organising music for these important occasions, I’m passionate about creating a service that is meaningful, memorable, and tailored to you. Whether you are planning a joyful celebration or a solemn farewell, I believe in the power of music to bring beauty, dignity, and comfort to every ceremony.
About Me...
I began my musical life as a chorister at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, before continuing my education at Harrow School and going on to read Music at Bristol University. Over the years, I’ve held positions at Chichester Cathedral, St Matthew’s Church, Northampton, and Eton College. I’m currently based in Witney, Oxfordshire.
​
I am Director of Music at St Mary’s Church, Henley-on-Thames, and have been privileged to give organ recitals at venues such as King’s College, Cambridge, Westminster Abbey, and Notre Dame, Paris.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Trudi
Wedding
Sebastian provided a repertoire of chosen hymns and music for us - His experience, qualifications and background of the organ instrument was the reason why we chose him and we were not disappointed!
Alayne
Funeral
Sebastian was so helpful, friendly and professional, advising on hymn and music choices, and playing beautifully on the day at my mother's funeral mass. It was such a relief to find someone so capable - Thoroughly recommended!
