Winter 2016 / 2017
Which parts of my ceremony need music ?
PRELUDE ( Starting 20 minutes before your ceremony begins )
We recommend choosing 6-8 songs , or suggesting a genre and letting us pick our favorites !
WEDDING PARTY PROCESSIONAL ( 1-2 songs ) Special parents / relatives , officiant , groom , groomsmen , Bridesmaids and children
BRIDAL PROCESSIONAL
INTERLUDE
For some ceremonies we will play a short interlude or a song during the unity candle lighting ( for indoor weddings ) or unity sand ( for outdoor weddings )
RECESSIONAL
An upbeat , joyous selection to be played after the ceremony ends
POSTLUDE ( We like to keep playing until your guests exit the ceremony site )
What ' s your " typical " song list ? All of our weddings are so unique that we encourage each of our brides and grooms to choose songs that are meaningful to them as a couple and that they enjoy . Your individualized playlist will create a certain mood for your guests : romantic , calm , regal , happy , or upbeat . We definitely play Pachelbel ' s " Canon " weekly ( and still love it !) but many times that selection is followed by a pop song . Some of our weddings are all classical , some are all contemporary , and many are a varied mix of both . We are happy to make suggestions and exchange ideas with our couples during the song choosing process .
How soon should I book ? We book most of our events 8 months to a year in advance , depending on our schedule and availability . We suggest booking sooner than later , especially for Saturday evening events in April- June and August-October . We require a $ 100 non -refundable deposit upon booking .
What do you require on site ? An armless chair for each musician and a covered or shaded area ( especially in warm months !) We bring our own music stands . We typically perform without amplification but can work with your DJ or band to set up a microphone and speaker for larger events if desired .
What will you wear ? We typically wear all black ( and dress for the weather !) but are happy to accommodate other requests . Please let us know if your event is especially formal or if black tie dress is required of your guests .
