Hello!
Thanks for visiting! My name is Brandt Jacobus. I'm a finger-style acoustic guitarist specializing in New Jersey weddings, corporate events, private home dinners, and cocktail parties. While living on the west coast for over 22 years, I’ve had the privilege of performing at some of California’s most stunning venues, creating memorable musical experiences for countless clients and couples on their special day. You’ll find many photos and client reviews throughout the site capturing those unforgettable moments from my time in California.
Originally from New Jersey, we moved back to the East Coast, settling in Wildwood Crest. It's been a pleasure performing at some of the most beautiful venues along the Jersey Shore, reestablishing myself in the region where my love for music first began. The Melodic Nights brand is a reflection of that passion—a space where I share my expertise and musical insight to help set the perfect mood for any occasion.
I've had the honor of collaborating with many talented wedding musicians, each highly qualified for events of any size. I also work with a wonderful selection of wedding DJs, photographers, planners, and other trusted vendors across New Jersey. It's been an incredible experience building a network of hardworking, reliable wedding professionals throughout the Jersey Shore and surrounding areas.
Whether you're planning your dream wedding, an upscale event, or simply seeking the perfect ambiance for an intimate dinner, I’m here to help create a memorable experience for you and your valued guests.
Thank you for visiting!
