Why hire live musicians for your wedding?

• Live musicians bring real emotion to a performance, far more so than recorded music

• Live music helps to create powerful memories which will forever remind you of how felt the moment that you heard it

• If keeping your guests entertained is a priority, live music is a must!

• My classical and jazz musicians provide familiarity and tradition

• I also offer plenty of ways to change it up and make it modern and unique

• I will guide you towards the perfect musicians for your tastes and style

Here are some of my Top Picks for wedding music:

Which parts of your wedding day do you need music for?

Music can play an important role in the different parts of your wedding day, such as:

• Background music to set the tone as your guests arrive

• Walking down the aisle to your perfect song

• Accompanying hymns in a church ceremony

• Entertaining guests while you sign the register

• Exit music at the end of the ceremony to get the party started

• Creating a wonderful atmosphere during your drinks reception

• Gentle background music for your wedding breakfast

• An unusual first dance (if you’re not having a traditional band or DJ)

Most couples choose two or more of these, to get the best value out of booking live musicians.

I can help you to:

prioritise

Work out what your priorities are, taking your budget into account.

curate
