You might not have ever been to a full classical recital or watched a whole opera. But that needn’t stop you from appreciating the beauty, grandeur, and tradition of this vast musical genre. Or from wanting to bring some of that to your wedding. Classical music isn’t all the same, and there really is something for everyone!

Here are some of the ways you might use classical music in your wedding ceremony.

We know small weddings are likely to be all the rage this year! Whatever your reason for going micro, make sure the entertainment suits the setting. For smaller weddings, I always make sure my couples think carefully about booking the right type of musician. The size of the ensemble must be in proportion to the number of guests and the space available! With fewer guests, there’s also inevitably more attention on the musicians. This means quality is of the utmost importance!

Here are my top 4 ways to use live music in a small wedding, of between 4 and 40 guests.

You’re engaged, you’re excited, and you’re starting to plan your wedding! You know you need music, but you have no idea where to start. You don’t know any musicians, and you’re overwhelmed by all the choice available. Does that sound like you?

But from the enquiries and bookings I’ve received so far, I thought I’d list a few of the trends I’ve noticed.

Music streaming figures soared in 2020, as we looked for entertainment and comfort during lockdown. Perhaps you got engaged last year, and you associate a particular song with your relationship? Or if you’ve had a tough year, there might be one song that helped you get through it all. I’ve been reviewing 2020’s hits to try and predict which songs might make it into your wedding playlists over the next few years!

Are you planning to propose this year? A romantic song while you pop the question will set the ideal atmosphere. It will create timeless memories of that moment. The link between the two of you as a couple and that song will last a lifetime. I’ve put together a suggested selection of 20 romantic songs for the perfect proposal to inspire you!

I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to feel decidedly festive now it’s finally December! It might be a bit late for anyone planning a Christmas wedding this year. But if you’re searching for inspiration for your big day next December, here’s a few ideas to create festive magic through live music at your Christmas wedding!

Like many wedding suppliers, Covid-19 has knocked me for six. As quite a new business, I was enjoying helping lots of you plan your big day and looking forward to my first full wedding season! Not only that, but most of my musicians saw their livelihoods wiped out in an instant. But we’re still here, and starting to look to the future! My musicians and I are looking at all the ways we can adapt our way of working, to give you the beautiful, live wedding music you always dreamt of. Here is a summary of all the things I’m working on.
