Hit the right notes with your wedding music

-

NO wedding can be said to have completed its act of charm on guests without the presence of music. It’s not a new concept as music of every variety has embellishe­d wedding ceremonies since time immemorial. Weddings are a time of celebratio­n and you shouldn’t hold back when it comes to selecting the day’s music. Few of us will have ever attended a wedding reception and not heard music marking the occasion, and for good reason.

But while the post-ceremony part of the day tends to take up most of our focus when arranging music, it’s worth exploring other options too. When used intelligen­tly and effectivel­y, music burns a permanent place in the memory of an event, be it sad or celebrator­y. Did you ever notice why all major box office movies down the years hired the services of musical directors? It’s because music enhances the scenes and visons before us like nothing else can. Getting the picture?

Your wedding day is all about visuals and by adding nice, soft, quality music you will be enhancing the memory of your special day for everyone present. We all know the post-reception band is important as everyone is looking forward to enjoying themselves. But you should consider stepping up the addition of music at other times of the wedding day. Why not hire a soprano for the church? Or classical musicians? There’s no shortage of musicians and trained singers these days. Do some research into the list of musicians and singers in your area and put some extra effort into music for your wedding. It’ll be like something from the movies, literally!
