Music before the reception
Music for your ceremony and cocktail hour
Tell us the songs you want for your ceremony and the music you’d enjoy during cocktails. We’ll discuss live and recorded options, the spaces you’re using, and how the timing works.
Choose the sound for your ceremony
List the ceremony moments that need music: guest arrival, the wedding party’s entrance, your entrance, and the walk back up the aisle. Send any song and version you have in mind. We’ll discuss live or recorded music and the timing.
Recorded music
Ceremony PA and playback let you use the recordings you choose. Tell us if a particular introduction, lyric, or ending matters. Confirm each cue and who will signal the entrances.
Live musicians
You can also choose live ceremony musicians, including a duo. Your proposal confirms the musicians, instruments, and arrangement. Explore the acoustic-duo guide and tell us which sound interests you.
Confirm ceremony coverage separately
Ceremony coverage sits outside the five-hour cocktail-hour and reception booking. It can be added or included in a higher package. Your quote confirms the timing and sound setup.
Send the ceremony and reception locations, guest estimate, and any microphone needs. Include the backup space for an outdoor ceremony. The live-band venue checklist helps you work through each location.
Choose music for cocktail hour
Recorded cocktail-hour music is included when it uses the main reception setup. A separate room, terrace, or garden may need more equipment and time. Separate-location coverage is quoted as an add-on.
If you’d like live cocktail musicians, tell us whether you want quiet music for conversation or a more prominent performance. We’ll discuss the format and confirm coverage in your proposal.
Send a simple outline of your day
You can ask about availability before the timeline is finished. Start with:
- Your wedding date, venue, and guest estimate.
- The ceremony, cocktail-hour, and reception spaces.
- The moments you want live or recorded music for.
- Specific songs, versions, or venue access restrictions.

Common questions
Do we need to choose our ceremony songs before we inquire?
No. Send your date, venue, and the parts of the day you want covered. Favorite songs or a preference for live or recorded music help, but we can work through choices during planning.
Can we ask for a particular live ceremony arrangement?
Yes. Send the song and version. We’ll discuss whether it suits the proposed musicians and confirm the arrangement and format with you.
Does one venue always mean one sound setup?
No. Different rooms or outdoor spaces may need extra equipment. Recorded cocktail music is included from the main reception setup; a separate location needs an add-on. Ceremony coverage is planned separately.
