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!

Reza and Allison's Spanish Themed Wedding 10/27/12

Reza and Alison were married on October 27, 2012 at the beautiful Santa Barbara Historical Museum in downtown Santa Barbara. Their amazing planner for the day was Kim Curtis of Toast, who laid out every little detail of their day to perfection.

We were very honored to handle all their entertainment needs for their day. For their ceremony, we had our solo guitarist play all their prelude music, as well as the processionals and recessional. It was a heartfelt ceremony, presided upon by the groom's own sister.

After the ceremony, our main guitarist was joined by a second guitarist, and our Flamenco dancer, for a Spanish themed cocktail hour. The caterer, Janet and Jeff Olsson of New West Catering, presented guests with a variety of Tapas, as appetizers.

Our DJ Gavin took over for the rest of the evening on the upper terrace, where dinner and dancing was set to take place. Dinner was presented Family Style, with a serving of an amazing Paella, as the main course. Reza and Alison danced their First Dance to Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat's "Lucky", which was followed by a Family Dance to Al Green's "Let's Stay Together". The dance party that followed incorporated a mix of old and new, fast and slow, with the familiar and the deep cuts thrown in for good measure. A fantastic day for all. Thank you Reza and Alison! Congratulations!!!
