What you should know about Wedding musicians depends on the type of wedding you are planning. In addition, you will need to decide if you want the musicians for the ceremony, the reception or for both. Once you have an idea of these variables, you will be set to choose the musicians.
The most traditional weddings use a piano or organ for playing the Wedding March as well as the recessional. Someone may sing during the ceremony and the person is generally accompanied by the instrument.
For less formal settings, the music for the ceremony itself may be provided using a recording. The couple may choose a song that is currently popular for these portions of the service or there may be no music at all.
Sometimes a couple will choose a band for the reception. The band often provides dance music and other entertainment for the evening. Make sure that the band will stay through the majority of the reception.
When planning the less formal weddings, many persons choose a DJ rather than a live band. The DJ may be able to provide music for goth the service and the reception. He also can often provide any needed sound equipment and can play a variety of music to entertain everyone in attendance.
Before you select the musician or DJ you should listen to them at some other place. If you have heard someone you like at a friend’s wedding be sure that you contact them first. Ask for references and be sure that you check out those references. If at all possible, make arrangements to hear the band live before you make your final decision.
Wedding musicians can be a very important part of your wedding day. They provide music for the ceremony and the reception. Getting the right group can make or break the day.
