Musical Weddings

As humans, we have marvelous senses - Sight, Smell, Touch, Feel and Sound.  These are all the feelings that we want to engage during a wedding.  The more senses that you include, the more involved and vested your guests will be in your event and the more that they are a part of the day, the more memories they will make.

One of those wonderful senses is the gift of sound.  This should never be taken for granted at a wedding.  Greeting your guests with beautiful music starts your event on a perfect note; then there is music to watch your attendants walk down the aisle to, music for a grand Bridal Entrance, a soothing, quiet background melody during the social hour, jazzy sounds for the dinner hour and then all-out party tunes for dancing.  All of this makes for a complete and memorable event.



All of us can bring to mind certain melodies that take us back to our childhood, elicit emotional feelings of love or just simply make us mellow and relax. These are all important to feel during a wedding.

Choose your musicians carefully and visit with them often about what you do and don't want to hear on your day. Listen to tunes on the Internet, your MP3 player, You Tube and more. Ask your friends and family their favorite tunes, then devise a play list that embodies the passion and love of the day.

"Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent”   ― Victor Hugo

Vendor Spotlight | Max Wellman Music

If you are considering live music for your wedding, look no further than the Max Wellman Band. I had a chance to site down with Max a couple of weeks ago and was impressed with his dedication to music. This man knows good music and loves to share it!

“Wellman is a jazz vocalist whose crisp, clear tenor voice produces melodic interpretations that echo the likes of Harry Connick Jr., Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Michael Buble.”  - The Des Moines Register

Want to hear Max sing?  Visit www.maxjwellman.bandcamp.com

12 Days of Christmas - Day 12

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, twelve drummers drumming....

If you are looking for alternative music to feature at your wedding, why not introduce Steel Drums to your guests?  Their sound is fun, spirited and a great way to add a Caribbean flavor to your day.

Wednesday

12 Days of Christmas - Day 9

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, nine ladies dancing.....

Good music is a must for your wedding.  Whether you decide to have a string quartet for your ceremony, an acoustic guitar for your Social Hour, a band during dinner and a DJ to dance the night away, make sure that you get the best that you can in your budget and music style. 



Ask for recommendations, visit your musicians in person, listen to sample songs and check out their credentials.  Music, live or static, is an important part of the celebration event.  People love music and entertainment in many forms.
