Marriage
Live music during wedding ceremony; at what moments?
Music is very important for creating the right atmosphere during the wedding ceremony. And what could be better than having your favorite songs performed live? So what are the right moments within the wedding ceremony for live music?
1. Arrival of the guests
Want to set the right tone right away? Then have the musicians play as soon as the guests enter the ceremony hall. This will immediately create a nice atmosphere and the guests can relax and watch the musicians.
2. The wedding procession
The wedding procession is the formal part of the wedding ceremony in which the bride, groom and sometimes bridesmaids and groomsmen, enter the venue at the beginning of the wedding ceremony and walk to the altar or wedding platform. The wedding procession is a traditional part of the wedding ceremony and often has a specific order.
You can choose to have the musicians play different songs at the entrance of the bride and groom, for example. Tune this well so that there is peace and time.
3. The vows
The vows are one of the most personal and intimate moments of the ceremony. Everything surrounding this moment may show your love and your personality. So you can frame this moment with your chosen song.
4. The Ring Exchange
The ring exchange is an important symbolic act. It is an emotional moment because it visualizes your official union. It can be wonderful to add depth and focus to this moment with music. This also immediately gives you more time to do this lovingly and quietly and enjoy it.
5. Live music at the kiss
The kiss! Finally!!! Now it's real, you are now officially married! This moment of great discharge and joy, may be celebrated with happy, festive music!
6. Additional interludes
Musicians often like to think along. For example, you can have the officiant and the musician discuss whether there aren't moments within the ceremony where changes of speakers, or other actions can be filled in musically. That way you get a nice flow in the ceremony.
7. The walkout
On to the champagne! You and the guests are delighted, now you are officially married. This moment lends itself ideally to upbeat and festive music. Experience shows that with the right music, the guests leave the ceremony room dancing towards the champagne and cake!
