Weddings
Just as music is an integral part of our lives, music is one of
the most important aspects of your wedding. Perfect Events
Music will assist you in selecting soloists or larger groups for
your engagement party rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and
reception.
Engagement Parties can be
elegant and intimate or larger and more casual. For the
former, consider background music provided by a classical duo,
harpist or solo pianist. If you are seeking a more casual
feel, consider a "one-man" band, acoustic guitarist/vocalist
or pop trio.
Rehearsal Dinners can vary
widely. You may opt for an outdoor barbeque complete with a
bluegrass band, or decide upon a seated dinner with a
classical guitarist or jazz duo. As you plan your
rehearsal dinner, you'll want to keep in mind the entertainment
plans for the actual wedding reception. Hopefully, you'll have
contrasting approaches that pleasantly complement each other.
Naturally, you won't want to duplicate the two evenings.
Wedding Ceremonies may be set
on the beach, in a cathedral or in a small chapel or private home.
The site of your ceremony will make a difference in which musicians
to choose. Organists, String Ensembles, our
Dolce Duo,
guitarists and harpists are all popular choices. Perfect
Events Music can guide you through the various options.
Typically, you will want someone to provide
Prelude Music starting twenty or thirty minutes prior to your
ceremony start time. Then, you will need music for your
various processionals (entry of the
family, the bridal party, the bride),
recessional and postlude music.
Don't forget to consider musical selections within the ceremony such
as mediations, vocal solos, and musical prayers.
Wedding Receptions offer
opportunities for a wide range of entertainment options. You may
wish for a large dance band that interacts with your guests or you
may prefer the elegant ambience of a classical ensemble or jazz
combo. Perfect Events Music can provide you these
musicians and many others.
Wedding Coordinators can make
a huge difference on your special day. If you are
planning a ceremony with a guest list of more than thirty we highly
recommend that you retain a wedding coordinator. Hire a
coordinator as soon after your engagement as possible on and make
use of their planning expertise. A good coordinator is well
worth the expense. Perfect Events Music has worked with many
different coordinators over the years and can offer you referrals.
Outdoor Weddings are among
the most beautiful! However, it can be tricky dealing with
Mother Nature. Have a back-up plan in case of inclement
weather. And, please consider your guests and musicians when
planning an outdoor summer wedding in the South. High daytime
temperatures and humidity can be quite uncomfortable, even
dangerous. Cooler temperatures can have your bridal party and
guests shivering and can make it extremely difficult to perform on a
musical instrument. If you're considering an outdoor wedding,
ask us about it...we'll share our experiences with you and tell you
what works and what doesn't!
