The Ceremony
Prelude Music
As guests arrive Prelude Music greets them. As they say their hellos to friends and family, get refreshments and find their seat for the main event, Prelude Music provides a warmth that sets the mood for a special ceremony. Typically Prelude Music lasts between 15 to 25 minutes as guests get settled.
Processional Music
Processional Music marks the entrance of the bridal party. Depending on the size of your bridal party it can take many forms. It can be a simple melody for the Bride or different selections for bridesmaids or parents. It offers a chance for you to make your own statement with special selections of your favorite tunes. Typical procssionals can (but don't need to) include - Music for the parents/grandparents. - Music for the bridesmaids entrance. - Music for the bride's entrance. ..... but its your wedding and you can make it as simple or as eleaborate as you want
Special Ceremony Requests
Recessional Music
During the ceremony you can choose special music for special moments of reflection or personalization. - unity candle or sand ceremony. - communion or prayer. - vocalist or hymns or reflection.
Recessional Music marks the happiest moment - when the party starts ..... happy, celebratory music to send off the couple for the very first time. Music for the couple - the kiss, the introduction of the couple, a glass breaking or the exit
Postlude Music
Postlude music is sometimes necessary as your guests leave to head off to the party, setting the tone for the celebrations. -
The Cocktail Hour
Once your ceremony is over a cocktail hour typically follows before the reception. A cocktail hour provides an opportunity for guests to start the party as you are busy taking pictures. As guests begin to chat a DJ or Band can be too noisy for the conversation and a string ensemble can be ideal..
Consider setting the tone with elegant classical music or ease into the celebrations with some jazz, Disney or pop favorites. Whatever you choose, its a great way to start the party!
Pizzazz Strings provides a special package. Book us for your ceremony and get the cocktail hour for half price.
The Reception
While many weddings use a band or DJ for the reception some people might prefer to have live music from Pizzazz Strings. The full range of musical styles we offer caters to every taste. With our own audio system available we can scale up an ensemble to carry but not overwhelm a party.
Choosing the right size ensemble for your party involves several factors personal to your wedding. The string quartet is the classic choice but you can scale up or down depending on your budget or the size of your event. Visit our Choosing an Ensemble Pages for More details
