The ceremony usually has some type of music in the program. It can be a pianist, guitarist, organist or violinist. A few songs by a soloist may also be appropriate. If it is in the budget, a string quartet would be a very unique touch to the event. When you plan your ceremony, always consider what works best with your combined personalities, budget, the space provided and the program. If it is held in an outdoor area, be sure to check out the power supply for speakers, microphones and electric instruments such as keyboards beforehand.
You may wish to depend on the references from friends and relatives to determine who you will hire for the occasion. You may even have a family or church member with musical talent who can provide exactly what you need both easily and inexpensively. If not, there are many local agents who will be happy to find exactly the type of person or group you are seeking.
The reception is a totally different matter. Here a couple can get really creative with who they hire for the entertainment. It should suit their own musical tastes but they should also consider those of their attending guests. Price, size and location of the venue, power sources, volume and quality should be your main considerations.
It is always a nice touch to have something playing in the background as guests arrive at the reception. This could again be a pianist, violinist, or guitarist. You may even wish to hire the same person for both parts of your function. If your budget allows it, other options could include a few mariachis, a string quartet, or a musical duo. If you hire a live band for the reception, a few members of this same group could possibly play the welcoming notes for your guests at the venue entrance.
For the main portion of the reception you could just move the musicians from the venue entrance to the main area. For more impact though, you may want to hire a larger group for these festivities. A rock, country or jazz band may be a great choice for your attendees.
A disc jockey is also a great choice for your event. Not only would one be far less expensive to book for your event but they would also be able to supply a very diverse choice of songs for the guests and bridal party. An experienced DJ is also a great master of ceremonies when it comes to announcing all the special moments on the agenda of the reception.
No matter what musicians you engage for your once-in-a-lifetime event, realize that the overall quality of the musicians is what is most important. They don't have to be expensive but they need to be talented and entertaining. With the right touches, your special day will become one of the most memorable evenings of your lifetime.
