KNOWN AS “THE VOICE OF VENICE’ www.lucaminnelli.com
your wedding extra special with beautiful singing, from start to finish. Here’s our step by step guide to a wedding day filled with favourite songs and musical hits!
USING LUCA MINNELLI TO THE MAX
One great feature of professional signers such as Luca Minnelli, is that they can be remarkably flexible. The same singer who sang so beautifully whilst your signed the register could probably also entertain (gently!) with his own pianist at your drinks reception. Doubling-up” is more cost-effective as it’s time-efficient for the performers, and reduces the amount of performers travelling to your wedding. Do remember, however, that singers are not CDs – they need comfort breaks, food, water and a rest whilst you have your wedding breakfast!
Talking of which…
At this point, we would like to point out that you do not need wall-to-wall music/entertainment at your wedding. For many, particularly the older generations, the fun part of weddings is chatting to friends, family and relatives they simply haven’t seen for ages. So, during the meal itself, they probably will not need much in the way of entertainment. They will also have a lovely meal to enjoy, and the chance to sit back afterwards and enjoy the speeches.
If you would like live music, again stick to the ‘gently’ principle. Also bear in mind that live music at this stage will be heard but not watched. You simply cannot watch a show whilst gleefully tucking into your dinner, unless you want to sit down the front of your finest frock or smartest suit. Most wedding singers fully appreciate that they are there a background music, but do be aware that some will not wish to sing whilst people eat.
Of course, the exception to this are the surprise singing waiters/ firemen/cooks acts that suddenly turn the tables and reveal themselves not a staff but superb singers or dancers. Always entertaining and enjoyable, they help inject some comedy too and something for people to chat about afterwards if they have run out of small talk by this stage! We can also provide this service at cost!

INTERNATIONAL FAMOUS WEDDING SINGER/TENOR AT YOUR DRINKS RECEPTION
After your wedding ceremony, your guests will probably move on to enjoy a glass of something refreshing at your drinks reception while you and your families have photographs taken. This is the point where people will want to catch up with old friends, have a chat and relax a little. It’s also the perfect time to have live music playing gently, to create a lovely atmosphere and provide something extremely unique and high class to listen to for those who may not know everyone else present.
Please note the word, ‘gently’! Loud music will only make people have to speak louder to be heard. This is particularly true of live singers, as a person talking will have to talk louder than the singer to get their words heard rather than the song lyrics. The smaller the room, the most intrusive a singer will become. Luca Minnelli has vast experience to overcome all these issues and provide a magical evening of live music entertainment that will enchant all your wedding guests and leave them breathless!
On the whole, classical singers such as Luca Minnelli, is not dominant in terms of sound, as indeed are singing groups that rely on amplification. If your drinks reception is to be held outside, on a lawn or in a marquee, then certainly you can “pump up the volume” a bit. However, save your big party sounds for the big evening party!

Your wedding evening party is the time to book the best live vocalist and performer of international fame with a unique, thrilling and exceptionally captivating ‘art form’ of music, and really let your hair down! Luca Minnelli is the right person to hire and brings new and prestigious international value to provide an unforgettable wedding performance which you will treasure all your life!
Luca Minnelli brings something new and something totally different for your guests to enjoy, from infectiously enthusiastic Italian singers that are specially gifted and endowed with God’s vocal gifts. Make your wedding stand out with global music specialists, or enjoy the sounds of your first preference choice for your special day.
At Dynamic Events Limited, we have also got superb local singers, bands, musicians and DJs, including international ones from Europe!
WEDDING DAY
OK, you might not feel like singing first thing in the morning, yourself, but how about surprising your spouse to be with a serenade especially written for them, sung by a professional and internationally famous tenor, lyric opera singer?
Just like the old-style ‘singing telegram’, a professional singer can arrive at your bride’s home, church or hotel to sing their praises whilst they have their hair and make-up done, or serenade the groom whilst he is waiting nervously at home in his smart wedding suit! Just make sure the best man or chief bridesmaid is in on the secret, otherwise the singer may be stuck on the doorstep…
YOUR WEDDING CEREMONY
If there’s one part of your whole wedding day where live singing is absolutely perfect, it’s your wedding ceremony. It doesn’t matter if it’s a formal service in a church, in a registry office or a licensed wedding venue such as a hotel, live singing always lifts the occasion to new heights.
All types of traditional wedding ceremonies have four key moments where live singing can really weave its magic. As entrance music. Instead of organ music, a choir or band sing you in! Take your time to walk from door to desk or alter, enjoying the singing and the happy smiles of friends and family by the famous Italian singer Luca Minnelli, who has debuted his first album with Brian May, of Queen, sang on stage with Lady Gaga and is mentored and performs under the direction of the internationally famous Maestro Diego Basso. During the service. Singing during a service doesn’t have to mean hymns! Why not have a moment when guests can just sit and enjoy a solo that means so much to both of you, to help calm the nerves and settle the guests before the formal part of the service. During the signing of the register. This is the moment where the paperwork gets done, and it can take a surprisingly long time. Our international soloist can delight and entertain your guests during this time with special songs that celebrate you as a couple while you sign on the line!
As you process out as a married couple or civil partners for the first time. Again, live singing adds to the sense of celebration and the start of a whole new chapter in your lives together. And what better way to do it than to have an international famous star at your wedding such as the calibre of Luca Minnelli?!
What can a singer sing at a wedding ceremony?
Your choice of songs and music in general does depend on whether you are having:
• A religious ceremony in a church
• A civil wedding ceremony in a registry office or licensed venue
CIVIL WEDDINGS
The main rule for civil wedding ceremonies is that sung music should not be religious or indeed mention God. So, you cannot have hymns at a civil wedding ceremony. However, you can have almost any other music, again so long as it is in keeping with the spirit of the occasion.
Civil weddings are more likely to take place in a much smaller space than a church wedding. So, a solo singer will easily be sufficient to fill a room with glorious singing. What you will not want (or need) is a big choir that takes up half the room laving less space for your
CHURCH WEDDINGS
For a church wedding, you can have almost any music you like so long as it is in keeping with the occasion – and your officiating clergy approves it. In practice, this usually means songs that will not cause offence and hymns that people know and can sing along with.
The Roman Catholic church are more strict about non-religious songs, but it does vary considerably from church to church, and on the format of the wedding service itself. Always consult your vicar/parish priest/clergy first before setting your heart on a particular song or hymn.
Many couples assume that if they are in a church and the service includes hymns, they need the church choir. This simply isn’t the case. A solo classical singer’s voice will easily carry throughout the church to lead the singing with a confident vocal line everyone can join in with.
The other advantage of professional wedding singer of such international calibre is that he is available! It’s actually quite difficult to actually book a church choir if your wedding isn’t at the weekends, as some of the members are only available to sing on Sundays for services. This often leaves a smaller choir for other occasions, who may not have the best singers in it either…
Professional singers such as Luca Minnelli generally produce a much better quality and volume of sound, ideal for filling churches with your favourite music! Sig. Minelli can also learn and possibly even arrange your choice of songs much more quickly and easily than a church choir who might only meet once a week.
