Weddings

The Civil Ceremony…

If you are having a civil ceremony or partnership and you would like live music to be a part of it, you will need to choose music for certain parts of your ceremony. Firstly whilst the guests are being seated (this usually begins between 15 and 30 minutes prior to the ceremony depending on the venue), then for the entrance of the Bride, whilst the register is being signed and finally for the exit of the Bride and Groom.

This must be of a non-religious nature, otherwise the choice is yours! You may prefer traditional ceremony music, light classical or popular music which is special to you both. I can help with suggestions if you would like to chat through your ideas.

The Drinks Reception & Photographs…

Following the ceremony everyone will be relaxing with a drink and photographs are usually taken at this point. I often play in the area where drinks are being served and weather dependent I can play the digital piano outside (providing there is a suitable space).

The Wedding Breakfast…

The wedding breakfast is a lovely time to have piano music, as it is perfect background music to create a nice atmosphere while you and your guests enjoy the meal.

I would generally finish my set at the end of the meal, once coffee/champagne is being served, as this is when the speeches usually take place and there is a break prior to the evening celebrations.

I like to play a wide variety of music to suit the age ranges of all of the guests, but of course making sure to include all of the Bride & Groom’s favourites!

Liaison with the venue…

I always contact the venue and discuss the logistics of the day and then I work with the wedding co-ordinator or duty manager on the day to ensure that everything runs smoothly, so that you the Bride & Groom can get on with enjoying your special day!

Again – please do get in touch (see ‘Contacts’ section) if you would like to discuss any of this information further.
