Who doesn't love a wedding?! They're a chance to celebrate the love between you as a couple, but also the love between all your family and friends. And what's a wedding without music? The right song can truly transform the atmosphere, turning a regular ceremony into a magical experience. If you're on the lookout for a wedding singer or live music in general, look no further. I've pulled together a ton of tips to help you find the right music that'll make your big day even more unforgettable.


1. Setting the Stage: Tips for Selecting the Right Musician

a. Start Early: Good musicians get booked quickly. As soon as you set your wedding date, start looking for your singer or band.


b. Listen Intently: Attend live performances or watch videos of potential musicians. Check that you live their vocal style, the way they play their instrument, the backing tracks they use, their song choices and the atmosphere they create.


c. Get Personal: Schedule meetings with your shortlisted musicians. Chemistry is key – you'll want someone who understands your vision and can add a personal touch to your day.


2. The Melodic Match: Style, Repertoire, and Experience


a. Style Matters: Your musician's style should resonate with you and your partner. Whether you're into the classics, modern pop hits, or a blend of both, make sure your musician can deliver what you're looking for. .


b. Diverse Repertoire: A skilled wedding singer and piano player should have a diverse repertoire. They should be able to smoothly transition from the heart-felt tunes at your ceremony to the more upbeat songs at your drinks reception.


c. Experience Adds Finesse: An experienced musician knows the ebb and flow of weddings. They'll understand when to create an intimate ambiance and when to pick things up a bit.


3. A Melody for Every Theme: Choosing the Perfect Fit


a. Romantic Elegance: For a classic, romantic theme, consider a singer and piano player who can flawlessly deliver timeless ballads. Think of songs that tug at heartstrings and bring out all the emotions.


b. Rustic Chic: If your wedding has a rustic vibe, lean towards a musician who can masterfully play folk or acoustic tunes. Imagine the piano keys dancing to earthy melodies.


c. Glamorous Affair: A lavish, glamorous wedding calls for a musician who is all about sophistication. Look for someone who can seamlessly blend classic tunes with modern hits.


d. Quirky and Fun: Planning a quirky and fun celebration? Your musician should be up for the challenge – think piano renditions of your favourite pop songs or even personalised lyrics.


As you plan your wedding, remember that your choice of a wedding music can elevate the entire experience. From setting the mood to creating unforgettable memories, their presence is invaluable.


So, take your time, trust your instincts, and select the musicians who fit in with your unique love story. With the right melodies, your wedding day will be nothing short of a fairytale.
