Live bands and musicians can be a pricey addition to your wedding, but if your budget<\/a> allows, live music<\/a> can add a whole new dimension to your wedding day. Having flexible musicians that will adapt to the various parts of your wedding day, or hiring a couple of bands, one for the ceremony and one for the reception, will keep your guests entertained and provide a unique soundtrack to your big day.<\/p>\n There is currently a very big trend in personalising your wedding ceremony, with couples having a say in everything from writing their own vows to providing their own music. Here are a few of the ways that you can use live music during your wedding ceremony:<\/p>\n Popular wedding bands that you might hire to play during the ceremony include string quartets, flutists, harpists, or a duo or trio of professional singers. Experienced wedding musicians will have some good ideas about the type of tunes or songs to perform at the poignant moments throughout the service, but they should also be willing to consider, and perhaps learn music that is particularly meaningful to you.<\/p>\n Having wedding bands playing during the welcome drinks and dinner at your wedding reception is becoming very popular. If they have enough breaks, some bands will even stay to start the dancing after dinner and accompany you through your fist dance as a married couple.<\/p>\n Popular music choices for the reception include jazz, classical music, swing music, and even songs from musicals and shows. If you have a live band for the dancing, you might consider playing a few classical waltzes and foxtrots early on to keep the older generation of guests happy; you can always hire a DJ to play more modern music for the younger guests later in the evening.<\/p>\n Here are a few questions to put to wedding bands or singers before you make a definite booking:<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3224,"template":"","au_article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-32204","au-article","type-au-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","au_article_category-weddingmusic"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/32204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/32204\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_article_tag?post=32204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/p>\n
