7 Wedding Ceremony Live Musician Ideas

1/13/2015

7. The Bagpiper!

Are you or your fiancé of Scottish or Irish heritage? Surprise your guests with the smooth sounds of bagpipes for your prelude and ceremony. After the ceremony have our bagpiper lead your guests in a Celtic March to the cocktail hour!

6. Harp

Nothing like the angelic sounds of a harp at your ceremony. Our Lever, Pedal and Celtic Harpists can play any classical, traditional, pop and standard song arrangements you request!

5. Pop Guitar

Our pop/rock style guitarists with an edge for your ceremony can play contemporary love songs and standards, instrumental or with vocals.

4. Piano

Play me a song Mr Piano Man! Traditional, Classical, Broadway, Jazz Standards, or Rock/Pop/Modern - we've got you covered with our pianists on roster :)

3. Spanish/Flamenco Guitarist

Getting married in Santa Barbara? Immerse your guests in the total Santa Barbara flavor with a Flamenco/Spanish guitarist - bringing the sound of Classic Spain to your prelude and ceremony.

2. Mariachis!

Surprise your guests with a full 9-Piece Mariachi Band at your ceremony. Or just use them for the surprise recessional and to march your guests to a lively cocktail hour where they continue to play!

1. The String Quartet

The ultimate ceremony musician combination - from classical arrangements to rock and pop favorites, a string quartet is definitely an all-around crowd pleaser.

Live music at a wedding ceremony is a very nice addition to the main event of the day. Whichever instrumentation you decide, make sure it reflects your style, heritage, and taste. We can also combine different musicians together for a custom ensemble. Congratulations!

We also provided uplighting for three of the rooms in the reception space (dining room, dining room annex, bar/dance floor). We also provided pinspots (magnetic LED remote controlled lights) that we installed on existing chandeliers. An area wash in the garden and uplighting at the front entrance (not pictured) was also installed by our team.
