Frequently Asked Questions - Selecting the Music
Of course! We can help you create the wedding of your dreams.
Because we want you to be completely comfortable with the music you choose, all of our Wedding Music Packages include an in-depth personal consultation with our expert music coordinator. Whether you prefer to choose one of our Signature Wedding Programs, or to design your own unique program of music, we’ll work with you to ensure that your music compliments your day perfectly.
Typically, specific songs are agreed upon for the following parts of the ceremony:
- - seating of the families
- - wedding party processional
- - bridal processional
- - unity candle or communion
- - recessional
Some couples already have pieces in mind and select each song individually; others just envision a certain mood for their ceremony and find that one of Signature Wedding Programs is the easiest way to create the atmosphere they want.
During your consultation, we will help you to determine just how creative you want to get. Whether you prefer to manage every detail yourself, or to delegate some of the decision making to us, we can recommend a Wedding Music Package to suit your needs.
Use our easy wedding planning worksheet to give our music coordinator a little bit of information about your venue, the size of your gethering, and your tastes. Then, we'll work with you to make sure your music compliments your day perfectly.
Most couples leave this up to us.
We perform the prelude and postlude music as your guests mingle, as they are seated, and as they exit. Because this music serves to create an atmosphere rather than to accompany a specific part of the ceremony, we find that it sometimes works best when we choose pieces moment by moment, according to the "feel" of the gathering. We are very experienced at knowing just when a lively upbeat piece may be called for, and when something slower and more reflective is appropriate.
Yes! We want your day to be unique, and our extensive repertoire includes hundreds of songs. It's very likely that we already have the piece you're looking for in our library.
If you would like a piece performed that is not in our library, we are happy to either purchase the music or arrange it ourselves when you choose the Artiste Package.
Yes. Sometimes string music is the perfect compliment to the other performers you wish to include in your ceremony. We are very flexible and can work with musicians of all kinds. Please let us know what you have in mind, and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
