Thankfully, when it comes to the wedding table decorations, craft materials and trimmings, Wholesale Wedding Superstore can save you a small fortune in creating the look you want on a budget. As well as making your wedding day unique to you, saving money on wedding reception decorations can also mean you save money on your venue, by enabling you to make any wedding reception venue look a million dollars without costing the earth.
Musical Marvels
Having saved all that lovely money, what areas are worth splurging on? A good rule of thumb is to save your money for the aspects of the day that will provide the wow factor, add to the special atmosphere you are trying to create and make your day special to the two of you and the guests. Live music is without doubt one of these areas.
Many musical couples are tempted to take a DIY attitude to live music on their wedding day but, on top of the wedding preparations, will you really have time to plan and practise a performance? And, if you are a professional or semi-professional musician, do you (or your guests) want to spend part of your wedding day effectively in the office? Here’s an opportunity to invest in something you are passionate about and add an extra dimension to your celebration.
Tuning Up
Chances are, you have a musical style in mind for your wedding reception, but live music can play a special part at all stages of the day. From a harpist, organist or string quartet to play you down the aisle to an opera singer or folk band to entertain guests while photographs are taken, there is a fantastic choice of professional musicians who will perform at your wedding.
In the evening, most couples’ priority is to get their guests dancing, and a live band offers a flexible and fun alternative to a DJ. Live bands can tailor their performance to the crowd, altering tempo to save your blushes during the first dance, calming things down later on and playing crowd pleasers when things are a little too quiet. A DJ stuck behind his decks is easy for the reluctant dancer to ignore, but a live band adds a personal touch that will get people on their feet.
Whether it’s a harpist to play you down the aisle, a swing band to dance the night away to or a great wedding singer, live music means you can choose exactly the musical style you want and generate that special connection between performer and audience, making your wedding an event guests will remember for years to come.
