'Let Your Music Make The Day' is just that - a special commission by individuals or groups, composed for the event of their wedding, or in dedication to their loved one. Benjamin will work with individuals to create a unique piece of classical music, with instruments and style as desired, each commission producing a professionally printed score, a sampled .mp3 and CD, a special dedication page and a lifetime dedication within the title of the piece.
