What’s Christmas time without carols? Or Summer without your
favourite pop tunes? Who wants to go to Church, but not sing any hymns? Music
really does matter. Not many can imagine walking down the aisle without the
famous Wedding March playing it has been a firm favourite since 1842.
But music isn’t confined to walking down the aisle. Nor must
it all be so traditional. From the moment you reach the wedding reception, your
wedding
musicians can set the tone of the night to come. They can beckon everyone
from your aunties to your distant cousins to head on down to the dancefloor.
They’ll get them serenading one another, or shaking their hips and shimmying to
the early hours. It all depends on your choice.
Here are some of the options available?
Saxophonists
There’s nothing quite like the soulful saxophone—the broad
and bellowing notes followed by subtle flickers from the brass. When you hear
the sax, it’s unmistakable and it is never dated. The sax is a timeless
instrument. It is adaptable to both modern genres through to old classics like
swing or jazz. So, whatever your taste, saxophonists’ versatility can give your
evening a personal touch.
Harpists
You enter the venue or the church. Flowers decorate the room
in serene colours. The lighting is subtle, and the tables are set. But guiding
you in is a grand and elegant harp. Think of the harp and you likely picture
floaty music like a dream. But the harp has more strings to its bow than that.
From fabulous classics to jazz and even pop, all your favourite songs can be
played on the harp, as you’ve never heard them before.
Violinists
When you walk down the aisle, don’t settle for an organist
playing dusty old pipes, when you can have an unforgettable violinist playing
your chosen tune. As the bow hits the strings, the hairs on your guests’ neck
will stand on end. The room will bustle as you walk towards your beloved to one
of the most beautiful sounding instruments in existence. Later on, the violin
can become a fiddle capable of playing jigs and folk tunes, pop, and more. This
would be a great way to end the day?
Pianist
Probably the most popular of wedding musicians is the piano
which is the king of instruments—the grandfather of all genres. The potential
of a pianist is staggering. With a piano, you’re going to need to meet your
pianist and plan your song choices. Most pianists are as versatile as their
instruments. They’ll tailor their tunes to your requests. If you want to play a
classic for everyone to sing along to, you can do that. Or else, choose a
beautiful piece for everyone to gather around. Music brings us together.
Hearing the fingers dance upon the keys, your guests will know they’re in for a
treat.
Solo Acoustic Guitarist
The wedding
acoustic guitarist is another very popular choice for a wedding musician,
from classical to your favourite pop songs; you can hire different styles of
guitarist for your reception.
Bagpiper
Bagpipes are a woodwind instrument and are an incredibly
stirring and evocative instrument and will help make your wedding day all the
more memorable.
String Quartets
A string quartet is a musical ensemble consisting of string players – 2 x violin players, a viola player, and a cellist. This is an excellent option for your wedding day; your loved ones will be captivated while they wait on the procedures to start. A string quartet not just carries out classical pieces however they will play more modern-day pop tunes also.
These are just a handful of musicians you could hire for
your wedding!
