South Florida Wedding Musicians; Making The Right Choice

Written by Author on November 2nd, 2008

Selecting the best South Florida wedding Bands for your wedding can either create magical moments, or put the kabosh on your perfect day. What follows are some suggestions and circumstances to avoid in choosing your South Florida wedding band.

Hire the Professinals

Performing a wedding ceremony requires professionalism and a musical timing that many students have yet to attain.

In performing music during the wedding processsional, the musicians must be able to time the music’s tempo, start, ending, as well as be able to go into a “looping pattern” if necessary to accommodate the length and pace of the ceremony processional.

They must also be able to create a musically dramatic moment upon the entrance of the bride. This time is amongst the most unforgettable at any wedding ceremony, and must be well-executed for maximum impact.

Classical Musicians Can Add Traditional Flair

Classical musicians tend to add an air of romance and tradition to any wedding ceremony. Not only from the sound of a classical ensemble, but the appearance can be very elegant.

A harpist with a flute player, (referred to as a “flautist”) are among the most popular instrumentation, often with the addition of a violinist. String quartets, trios, Woodwind quintets and brass choirs are sometimes used for dramatic effect.

If you are considering this option, be sure to budget between $500-$1,200 for a small group.

Wedding Band Musicians Offer Flexibility

Many ceremonies are also performed by the keyboardist and woodwind player (sax and flute) from the band that will play dance music at the reception. These South Florida wedding musicians can perform classical music using great sounding orchestral sounds from the keyboard, plus to the flautist.

They can then switch to jazz piano and saophone for the cocktail hour, and play Gershwin, modern music and Broadway tunes in contrast to the ceremony music. It can also be easier on the budget to use the band musicians for your South Florida wedding ceremony music.
