Everything You Need to Know to Plan an Amazing Live Music Experience on Your Wedding Day
In this article, I’ll share my top “need-to-knows” when it comes to booking live music for your wedding day. Let’s make sure any surprises on your big day are good surprises!
Here’s what makes live music an indispensable part of your wedding day:
Atmosphere
Your wedding doesn’t happen every day, and neither does live music. Live music is always one-of-a-kind and immediately communicates the elegance of the event and how special the occasion is.
Adaptability
Have you ever been to a wedding where the recording abruptly cut off and then jumped right into the next song? Not so great, right? Experienced musicians can read the moment to adjust to your timing and make seamless transitions without missing a beat!
No Technical Difficulties
No one wants to hear crickets at their wedding ceremony! Give yourself some extra peace of mind by creating the atmosphere for your day with music that DOESN’T rely on a power outlet.
Here are a few more things you’ll want to know about including live music in your wedding ceremony:
Shelter
Musicians are pretty even-tempered, but sometimes our instruments are not! Our instruments are made of wood and can be quite fragile in outdoor settings. Make sure you chat with your musicians to check if they need any sun or weather protection to protect their instruments so that they can perform at their best!
New Music
Most musicians love to learn new music, but it can take some time to prepare an arrangement and quality performance of a new song. Make sure you check with your musicians about their policy on learning new music and how much time they need to prepare.
In short:
If you want to make sure you have an unforgettable music experience on your wedding day, then including live music is a no brainer. A little planning ahead with your musicians will keep everyone focused on the celebration when your big day arrives!
