Wedding Music
Wedding Reception Music: Singer, Band or Instrumentalist?
A reception can move from welcome ambience to a couple entry, dinner and a featured celebration. The best format is the one that suits each planned moment.
Use an instrumentalist for a subtle arrival
A soloist or compact instrumental pair can support conversation while guests arrive. This format works when music is part of the atmosphere rather than the centre of attention.
Choose a singer for a defined live moment
A singer can shape an entry or focused set when the programme has a clear listening window. Discuss the desired repertoire direction, set length and backing format early.
Use a band when the reception needs a performance peak
A live band has a larger visual and production footprint. Build in stage, backline, monitoring, soundcheck and changeover time before finalising the run-of-show.
