Listen up, this is important.

Picturing an electric dance floor?
Luscious melodies for your ceremony?
good news.
I can help you select the most appropriate music for your ceremony and wedding day.
I know what you’re thinking: she’s nuts, we’ll get to this later.
Trust me, using music is another simple way to personalise and individualise your wedding day.
tips on the tunes
Think of your wedding day as one epic playlist with three parts:
where to insert the songs:
Processional (aisle walk)
Document signing
Recessional (exit music)
Live music is the best option here. Why?
Professional wedding musicians know how to read your crowd, when to add energy and when to let things breathe.
They’re focussed on helping me, the celebrant in creating the perfect ceremony moments.
Common lineups:
guitar + vocals
string quartet, solo cello/violin
ceremony
Acoustic vibes
canapes
keep it chill, or add a touch of party.
Quite often, your ceremony musicians will offer an option to continue on with a set (30-40 mins) or two of canapé music. This is always a great option, as they’re able to relocate to a different area if needed and read your crowd to set the mood just right.
You might choose to keep things simmering away to save the ultimate energy for your dance floor, or depending on your venue and style, add some upbeat tunes to get the party started. All professional musicians will supply background music in their breaks.

DJ or band? You choose.
There’s no wrong answer.
But think about you and your style.
Both options will provide ultimate party energy, but choose a vendor that fits your vibe.
If you’ve got an electric dance floor in mind and guests that are waiting for it, get that slamming party DJ or band.
If the dance floor isn’t the key focus, there are some brilliant boutique smaller band lineups that can read your crowd and deliver exactly the right energy.
