Your wedding should be memorable with stunning singing from beginning to end. Here’s a step-by-step guide to your wedding day packed with your favorite songs!
Wedding day
Okay, you may not be feeling like singing the early in the morning you however, how do you make your spouse feel like a star? be with a song specially written just for them, performed by a professional vocalist?
Similar to the traditional ‘singing telegram’, a professional musician will be at the bride’s house at the hotel or home to sing them a song as they get their hair done and their makeup completed, or entertain the groom as he’s waiting at home with a nervous look dressed in his elegant wedding dress! Make sure that the top male or chief bridesmaids is aware of the plan or else the singer could end up at the door…
The wedding ceremony you will have
If there’s one aspect of your wedding that live music is ideal, it’s your wedding ceremony. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a formal ceremony at a church, an office for registry or even an approved wedding venue like the hotel, live music will always elevate the event to new highs.
If there’s one aspect of your wedding day in which live singing is ideal, it’s your wedding ceremony. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a formal ceremony in a church, an office for registry or even an approved wedding location like the hotel, live music is always a great way to elevate the ceremony to new levels.
Traditional wedding ceremonies feature four main moments in which live music is able to really create magic.
As entrance music. Instead of the organ you can have the choir or soloist take to you! Make sure you take your time walking from desk to alter, while enjoying the singing and the joyous smiles of your family and friends.
In the course of the service. Singing in a service doesn’t necessarily mean singing hymns! What better way to spend a time where guests can relax and sing a song that is meaningful to you both and help ease the nerves and ease guests prior to the formal portion in the worship service.
When you sign the register. This is the time when the paperwork is completed, and can take very long duration. A soloist or choir could be a delight to your guests at this point with songs that are special to your relationship as a couple when you sign the paperwork!
As you walk out as married couples (or civil partnership for the first time). Live music enhances the feeling of joy and celebration, as well as the beginning of a new chapter in your life together.
What songs can an artist sing during the wedding ceremony?
Your selection of songs and general music will depend on whether you’re experiencing:
A religious service in an church
Wedding ceremonies that are civil at the registry office or a licensed wedding venue
Weddings at the Church
When you’re planning a wedding at a church you are able to have nearly every song you’d like to sing provided that it’s appropriate to the event and your officiating priest is in agreement with the music. In the real world, this generally is music that doesn’t provoke anger and also hymns that people can sing along to.
It is true that the Roman Catholic church are more rigid about songs that are not religious in comparison to Church of England, but the rules differ between the churches and also on the style of the wedding ceremony itself. Make sure to consult with your clergyperson, vicar or priest before deciding on an individual hymn or song.

Civil weddings
The most important rule for civil ceremonies for weddings is the music must not be religious, or even mention God. Therefore, it is not possible to sing songs at an wedding that is civil. However, you are able to have nearly any other kind of music at least as long that it’s consistent with the theme of the event.
Weddings in churches Soloist or choir?
Many people believe that if they’re in church and the worship is accompanied by hymns, they should join the church’s choir. The reality is that it doesn’t. The voice of a solo classical singer can easily be heard throughout the church, leading the choir with a powerful singing line that anyone can sing along with. Similar is true for an intimate, professional gospel group or a quartet of singers.
Another advantage of hiring professional wedding musicians is the fact that they are readily available! It can be extremely difficult to find the church choir when your wedding isn’t on weekend, since some choir members only sing on Sundays during services. This means that you’ll have the choir with fewer members for other events, and they may not have the most talented singers …
Professional choirs and vocalists generally provide a higher audio quality as well as volume. This is perfect to fill churches with your most loved songs! They are also able to master and perhaps even arrange your selection of songs more quickly and effortlessly than a church choir that may only meet once per week.
Civil weddings: singing and sound
Weddings that are civil in nature tend to be held in a smaller venue than a traditional church wedding. Therefore, a single singer is likely to be enough to bring a room to life with beautiful singing, just like the small group of singers. What you do not desire (or really need) is a large group that takes up all of the room , making it less for guests or a singer who has an enormous backing band to support them. Save the rest for the future!
Wedding singers at your drinks reception
Following your wedding ceremony, guests are likely to move towards drinks during your reception drinks as you and your family are photographed. At this point, guests will wish to reconnect with old acquaintances, have some conversation and unwind for a while. It’s also the ideal moment for live music to be played at a moderate pace, to make a wonderful ambience and to provide an enjoyable experience for people who might not have a good understanding of everyone else in the room.
Be aware of the word “gently”! The loud music only makes people speak more loudly in order to be heard. This is especially true for live musicians, since people who are talking need to speak louder than the singer in order to hear their words rather than the lyrics. The smaller the space is, the more invasive an artist will be.
What is most effective are an acoustic trio trio, which could comprise a vocalist, however, it can be equally effective without. In general, classical singers like opera singers can be too loud in terms of their sound, like singing groups that are dependent on amplifying. A capella singers, such as barbershop quartets are a blast to listen to however, they also require a certain amount of silence to be able to be able to hear their voices and maintain a the same harmony.
If the reception you are having will be held outdoors in a lawn, on a patio or in a marquee surely you could “pump your volume” slightly. However, you should save the loud sound system for your big nighttime party!
Use your singing to the maximum
A great benefit that professional register signers have is the fact that they can be extremely flexible. The same person who sang with such grace while you signed your register possibly be entertaining (gently!) with their own piano at your reception of drinks.
The trio of acoustic musicians who performed at your reception may be the foundation of an even larger band to perform at your wedding celebration! “Doubling-up” can be more economical since it reduces the time spent by the performers and also reduces the amount of musicians traveling for your reception.
Be aware that, despite their talent, singers aren’t CDs. They require comfort breaks with food, water, and a break while you are having an amazing wedding brunch! Speaking of which…

For many, and especially those of a certain age the most enjoyable aspect of weddings is talking with family members, friends and other relatives that they haven’t seen for years.

They’ll also have delicious food to enjoy, as well as an opportunity to relax in the evening and relax and enjoy the speeches.
If you’d like live music, adhere to the ‘gently’ principle. Keep in mind that live music is listened to but not viewed. You can’t be watching an event while tucking into your dinner except if you’re planning to tie down to the top of your most elegant dress or the most stylish outfit. The majority of wedding singers appreciate the fact that they’re playing background music, however be aware that some may not be able to sing while eating.
Of obviously, the most notable exceptions to this are the singing waiters/ cooks/firemen acts who turn the tables to reveal that they are not staff members but outstanding dancers or performers. Always entertaining and entertaining and uplifting, they can add a touch of laughter and provide an opportunity for guests to talk over after if they’ve had enough of conversation in this moment!
