| Live Music for Your Celebration |
 |
All beautiful, elegant, wedding ceremonies and receptions will have “live” music. If you are absolutely on the tightest budget, you can hire a solo musician for about the cost of two dinner entrees or a lovely floral centerpiece. It’s smart not to “cut corners” with ambience. Music sets the tone for your day: your guests will notice. Keep this thought in mind, as well, for your wedding showers, rehearsal dinners, and post nuptial champagne brunches. A celebration without music is only a meeting.
Ask your friends to share names of local vendors they have dealt with for their special occasions. If you don’t know of anyone, the facility where you are planning your event usually has a list of preferred musicians for wedding ceremonies, receptions, and corporate events that include wonderful people such as bands, orchestras, DJ’s, florists, photographers, caterers, videographers, etc.
Also, consider asking your catering coordinator for their list of professional musicians in your area. This is the best possible resource you can find in that recommended vendors do not pay to be listed. Preferred vendors are specifically recommended for consistent quality service and impeccable reputations.
Brides planning church wedding ceremonies need to consult with the musical director of their local churches before selecting musicians. It is common practice for the church to require you utilize their “in house” musicians and will not allow you to bring in “outside” vendors. The church often has an “approved” list of musical selections allowed. Be sure to call first.
