When it comes to planning a wedding, one of the most critical elements that can elevate the entire experience is the music.
Music has the power to set the mood, create lasting memories, and get everyone on the dance floor. In the bustling wedding industry, one name stands out as a symbol of excellence in live music – Lark Music.
Not your typical agency
Lark Music, founded and led by Travis, is not your typical wedding music agency. Travis, a musician himself, shared what sets Lark Music apart: “We’re all about live music and the importance it has on great wedding memories. We’re not a big agency with ‘non-musician’ sales personnel; we’re a small collective of some of Australia’s best live musicians who thrive off the great dance floor vibes and fun had at the weddings we perform at.”
Memorable music moments
Couples who choose Lark Music appreciate the authenticity and passion that these musicians bring to their wedding day. The personal touch of having musicians deeply invested in the music they perform sets Lark Music apart from the competition.
One of the most rewarding aspects of being in the wedding industry, according to Travis, is the opportunity to create amazing lasting memories for couples. He adds, “Seeing their faces light up with happiness when we play a special request or when they see so many of the guests enjoying their time on the dance floor is incredibly fulfilling.”
Trend-spotting with Lark Music
In a constantly evolving industry, it’s essential to stay attuned to trends. Travis notes a trend he’s observed lately: “An odd assumption that having a DJ with an instrumentalist creates the same vibe as a live band. While having a DJ can be the best option for particular venue sizes or wedding budgets, there really isn’t anything that compares to the dynamic and engaging performance of a ‘great’ live band or acoustic musicians.”
Weddings near and far
Lark Music has a treasure trove of memorable wedding experiences, but one anecdote that stands out involves a couple where the groom hailed from the UK. During the celebration, guests from the UK would spontaneously break into song, singing the theme song from the iconic Australian TV show, Neighbours. The band, during a set break, learned the theme song and played it live. Travis recalls, “It went off! All singing along, big smiles, and it was pure joy to watch!”
Invaluable advice
For couples looking to choose a music supplier for their wedding, Travis offers valuable advice: “If wanting great live music for your wedding, where possible, try and see the musicians LIVE before choosing. In the world of social media, it’s easy to hide a lot of a musician’s or band’s flaws. Some clips are often highly edited, overdubbed, or auto-tuned, providing a false representation of the music you’ll actually get on the day.”
