The ambience of your wedding is all about the vibe—that magical atmosphere you create at your wedding venue to make the space feel inviting, warm, and full of love. While there are many ways to indulge the senses to curate your atmosphere, music is one of the most powerful tools. Music, even in the background, has a subconscious effect on our moods and can elevate everyone’s mood during and in memories of your special day.
The right tone, style, and music volume can tie together your entire event to create the perfect wedding atmosphere at your wedding venue. But how can you use music to your advantage? It all starts with what types of musicians you get to elevate you and your guest’s auditory experience. And nothing is better than live wedding music.
Instrumentals
Instrumentalists, like violinists, quartets, or string trios, can create a sweet, relaxed atmosphere for your wedding day. Imagine your guests having just had their dinner served, and while sharing stories over dinner, there's this beautiful quartet playing. This skilfully executed music will elevate everyone’s mood, enhance the dining experience, and have everyone talking about how much they loved dinner.
Wedding Singer
Even more versatile is a wedding singer. There is something special about a vocalist singing over their backing track, capturing both the sound of the instruments and the loving words of the vocals. From singing during the ceremony as you walk down the aisle to light entertainment for your guests during the cocktail hour, they will uplift your special day.
Late Night Music
The sun is setting, the drinks are flowing, and it's time to turn up the energy. Getting the party started as the night goes on is a great way to entertain your guests and ensure they dance all night long. Having a great party atmosphere is essential to execute this. When planning your wedding reception music, consider having a DJ or live band and the atmosphere you want as you dance. Think about your wedding guest list and what type and era of music you want to be played. The trick? Choose a set list of good vibes for everyone—from your grandma to younger friends, you want everyone sharing a boogie on the dancefloor.
Pulling it all together
Now that you’ve got some ideas for the type of music you want to play at your wedding, it's important to pull it all together to enhance the overall feel of the music. This involves the volume in particular and ensuring it can be heard across the venue. When you think about the cocktail hour, as the wedding couple, you’ll be exploring your wedding venue's vast grounds and taking photos, and you want to enjoy the ambience and music no matter where you are. It’s the same for your guests; they’ll be more likely to explore the venue and take stunning photos if there's music everywhere. This can be very dependent on your venue and their speaker system.
