The type of music you choose for the ceremony depends in part on the venue and the ambience you want to create. Most venues have some restrictions on the type of music that is played, but these days most are very accommodating. However, this does mean that it is important to check what is allowed well in advance. Live music is always nice if you can arrange it. Most venues have good acoustics or a PA system, so you can easily hire a small group of classical musicians, a pianist or a choir to provide music during the ceremony.
Music during the reception
When it is time for the reception, you may want to have background music being played during the canapés. Again, you can hire a group to play live music. However, many couples opt for pre-recorded music or not to have any music played at this stage of their wedding reception. You need to check with the reception venue to make sure that what you have in mind is possible. Music for the reception
Not everyone has dancing at their reception, but most do. Live music is much more fun than recorded music and it sounds better, so most people hire a wedding band. However, you need to take your time when hiring a wedding band. This is not a job that you should leave to the last minute. Ideally, you need to hear the band you are planning to hire play live. If you start your search early, you will be able to check out how each band sounds and choose the best. You also need to bear in mind that bands get booked up months, sometimes over a year, in advance. The better the band is the more likely it is that they will be fully booked a long way out. It is also important to book early to give your chosen band time to learn any special songs that you want, which are not currently on their playlists. Most bands will happily learn an extra song or two provided they feel they can sing that style of song. You can find out more about finding a good wedding band at vibetown.net. *PR collaboration
