There’s something about live music for a wedding that leaves your guests, family, and you with a memorable and magical experience. Live music brings out the feelings and emotions that can't be matched with pre-recorded songs. It adds a special touch that is beautiful and romantic that doesn’t overpower you or your guests’ conversations on your special day. Live music is the perfect background music accompaniment to every part of your wedding day, from the moment your guests arrive at the wedding ceremony to the last dance of the night! Whether you're having live music during the ceremony, cocktail hour or reception, it will leave your guests talking about your wedding for a long time.

Let's talk about your Wedding Ceremony music! Guests will be arriving and taking their seats up to 30 minutes before the ceremony begins, so why not delight them with gentle background music such as a string quartet, string duo, a harpist or a pianist? It will make your guests relax after the long drive to get to your wedding. Pre-wedding entertainment creates a lovely atmosphere where your guests can mingle and greet each other, without having to shout over loud music or sit in awkward silence!

Think about adding some live music to the Cocktail Hour. While your guests are waiting for you to get your photos done with your new husband, they can snack on hors d'oeuvres, sip on drinks, and listen to live music. Keep your guests entertained while they are waiting for you. Live instrumental music adds a touch of class to any special event.
At the reception, having a live band or ambient instrumental music can add a lasting impression to your event that will get the party started or have an elegant intimate evening with your guests.

For your Wedding ceremony, you will have 3-4 songs that you will choose to have performed at your ceremony.
Precessional: When your Bridal Party walks down the aisle.
Bridal Entrance: This is the special day you've been waiting for your whole life! Take your time, slowly walk down that aisle, and soak up every moment!
Unity Ceremony: Some Brides have a song played during this moment but it is totally optional.
Recessional: After your officiant announces to you Mr. and Mrs... you will walk back down the aisle and your Bridal Party will follow.

When choosing a song for your wedding, search online to see if there is an instrumental version of that song you can listen to. Some songs can be too repetitive as an instrumental and you want to make sure you like that song before you ask your performer to learn it. Ask your musician if they have any recommendations for songs you could have performed on your special day.
When hiring live musicians for your special day, you don't have to worry about if a recording is going to stop before your whole bridal party makes it down the aisle, have someone forget to hit the play button, or accidentally play the wrong song. A musician can slow down, speed up, stop the song, make the song longer, or change the song at any time and make it a smooth transition into each part of your ceremony. This leaves you to enjoy your day without any worries about the musical portion of your wedding.

No matter what you choose for your special day, remember to embrace the moment and soak it all in, because this day is about you and the person you love. Happy planning! :)
