 Wedding Ceremony Music and
|
Music when your guests arrive You'll want to ensure the mood is right as soon as your guests arrive. This can often be 20 minutes before the bride so don't leave them waiting in silence. Whether this is at the church or at your venue, live music playing in the background adds to the atmosphere. Popular choices include string quartets, harpists, pianists and classical guitarists, all of whom are able to play background music to suit you. Live music for the arrival of the bride As the bride arrives it's time to make a bigger impression! A traditional option is to have a piper play the bride from her wedding carriage to the church/ceremony. Another high impact starter is to have a Gospel Choir sing the bride into the church. If space is limited, try a wedding ceremony singer which can add a hauntingly beautiful backdrop to your arrival. There won't be a dry eye in the house! Personalise your music to suit you Most couples will have many songs which are special to them, so instead of the traditional Bridal Chorus played on the church organ, why not have your live musicians play a special song as you walk down the isle? This is usually easy enough to arrange if you're booking a string quartet, harpist or pianist. We've also known couples to have the rock and pop band that they've booked for their evening party to arrive early and play an acoustic version of their special song as the bride walks down the isle. What ever your musical preference, pretty much anything is possible. Just ask your Alive Network agent and we'll make it happen!

Popular traditional song choices for the arrival of the bride and for use during the wedding ceremony
It's now quite common to have some form of musical accompaniment during your wedding ceremony. Many couples also choose to mix traditional hymns with more popular songs and some form of accompaniment helps to ensure the songs stay structured and in tune! It's quite easy to arrange accompaniment from a string quartet, pianist, organist or maybe even a solo guitarist/singer. Also remember that often an ensemble can be made up from members of your evening band, you'll just need to pay them extra to arrive early. Music during the photographs Don't forget that after the ceremony there is often a big gap before the drinks reception where pictures are taken. As the happy couple, you'll be busy and won't have time to get bored. However, the same unfortunately can't be said for the majority of your guests. Ensure your live music continues whilst photos are taken with the musicians relocated out side the church or at your wedding venue. If your photos are being taken whilst the drinks reception has already started, then please read our 'entertainment for a wedding drinks reception' guide. Remember, we're here to make your wedding amazing. What ever you want, ask us and we'll do everything we can to make it happen! |
