Live Wedding Music Hire - Choosing Wedding Music, Choose the best
So many couples know that there is nothing like the sound of professional musicians playing real instruments with a vibrant exciting sound. Whether you have a full wedding music orchestra, a 4-piece band or even a soloist, with live music you will have the fresh sound of something different and special at your wedding.
Choosing to hire live wedding music for your special day using professional musicians allows you to make a choice about the kind of wedding sound and atmosphere you want create. When selecting your live band choice for your wedding music you will need to decide whether you want the live wedding music to compliment the serenity of your church/civil ceremony or whether you want it later on to kick off the dancing for your wedding party in full swing. The size of your venue will always play a role in determining the size of the band or number of wedding musicians that you can have.
Depending on your budget you may also have to bear in mind that you may not be able to have the 14-piece string orchestra for the live wedding music you always wanted. However, that does not mean that a good 7-piece wedding band won’t do a brilliant job with just a similar fantastic effect.
Live wedding music has distinct advantages over a DJ, creating a special atmosphere live wedding music can provide a very unique experience. Live wedding entertainers can provide a subtle backdrop of music during your wedding breakfast or evening dinner, serene emotional live music throughout your wedding ceremony and then step up the pace to full-on party mode for your lively evening wedding celebrations.
Playing Live Wedding Music During the Ceremony
Whether you are having a civil or religious ceremony, live wedding music can be played if you are getting married at a licensed venue in England or Wales. However, the wedding music you choose at your civil marriage ceremony must be non-religious and pre-approved by the superintendent registrar conducting your ceremony. In general, most non-religious wedding music is allowed as long as it is fitting and suitable for the occasion and does not denigrate the solemn institution of marriage.
Playing of some of your favourite non-religious live wedding music may also be allowed during your church ceremony, especially during the period when the couple are signing the marriage register. This can be a lovely contrast to traditional wedding organ music generally played during the ceremony. It is necessary to gain the pre-approval of your church minister before you book your live wedding musicians for this part of your wedding.
