STRIKING A CHORD

Your musical tastes will be as individual as you as a couple but, one thing is for sure, you will want different types of music at different stages of your day.

For the ceremony itself, you’ll probably want to be serenaded down the aisle to music with deep personal meaning. After your vows, you could be proclaimed as committed partners with a different sort of song.

For both your vows and, later, the speeches, it could be helpful to have a wireless microphone on hand, and you might also consider whether an MC is a good idea for your wedding.

You could opt for light acoustic music during drinks and canapés, as your guests mingle and talk. During dinner, a low key and personally crafted playlist might be the order of the day. After dinner, when you and your guests are ready to dance the night away, upbeat classics and modern hits could be just the thing, with a cover band or a DJ.

Some musicians can give you a package deal covering all musical delight aspects of your wedding, or you might decide to divide and conquer. Either way, good luck with striking the right chord for your very own and unique day.
