Wedding
Notations




IT’S SHOW TIME!!!


Music is an integral part of your celebration. It sets the tone and tempo for your ceremony and will provide both background and fun for your reception. Most couples will want to have either a DJ or a live band playing at their reception and through the evening for the dance. You will of course, want to hear the band play and see how they interact with a crowd. As you interview bands for your party, do try to catch them at a live event. Check out the kind of music they play and ask about their repertoire. Don’t be afraid to ask how they will be dressed. If yours is a formal wedding, you really don’t want a band in jeans and torn tees. If your sis a wedding party with a strong cultural theme, consider hiring ethnic performers for the cocktail hour. To honor your Scottish heritage, consider a bag piper to pipe you into the reception. Some talented Irish dancers can be hired to entertain if that is your heritage. Dancers from a local ballet company could perform for your guests. To extend the music even further, match it to the activity. You’ll likely choose a DJ or a dance band for later. You may wish to consider quieter, more subdued and elegant music for guests as they dine. Pianists- solo or as a duo can entertain at cocktails and through the dinner. Some couples have hired artists to create caricatures of the guests as they sip cocktails and wait for the bridal party to arrive. Magicians can provide an interesting diversion as well. Ask us about other terrific ideas to make your reception truly memorable.
