A variety of factors influence the number and type of musicians that will best fulfill your needs for your wedding ceremony. These include the type of music you’d like to have played, what instruments you like the sound of, the size of your ceremony room, and your budget.
Fewer musicians, of course, cost less. If you’re really on a tight budget, a wedding ceremony can be done with just piano. As you add more instruments, you gain a richer, more varied, and more musically interesting sound that will work better in a large room. Instead of just melody and accompaniment, the additional instruments can add harmony and counterpoint that really fills out the music.
What type of pieces would you like played at your wedding ceremony? By far the most popular ceremony music style is classical, but you can also mix in pop or ethnic styles to suit your tastes. Our most requested instrumentation is piano, flute, and violin, which is a great combination for any ceremony music style! Adding a second violin takes this combination to a whole other level, giving a much bigger and more interesting sound. Other great choices are trumpet or classical guitar. How about having some of your ceremony music sung? Consider adding one of our vocalists! For an all classical ceremony, a string quartet is a wonderful sound. You can check out some of our most popular wedding ceremony music ensembles on our music samples page.
Whatever your tastes and budget, we can consult with you to find the perfect instrumentation to orchestrate the wedding ceremony of your dreams!
