The Wedding Music Toronto Has To Offer

By Alta Alexander


Your big date has just been set and now you are working on all of the large and small details. One of your main tasks is to seek out the wedding music Toronto has to offer for ceremonies and receptions. The main aspects you will be looking at include cost, quality and diversity of songs and instrumentals.

The ceremony usually has some type of music in the program. It can be a pianist, guitarist, organist or violinist. A few songs by a soloist may also be appropriate. If it is in the budget, a string quartet would be a very unique touch to the event. When you plan your ceremony, always consider what works best with your combined personalities, budget, the space provided and the program. If it is held in an outdoor area, be sure to check out the power supply for speakers, microphones and electric instruments such as keyboards beforehand.

You may wish to depend on the references from friends and relatives to determine who you will hire for the occasion. You may even have a family or church member with musical talent who can provide exactly what you need both easily and inexpensively. If not, there are many local agents who will be happy to find exactly the type of person or group you are seeking.

The reception is a totally different matter. Here a couple can get really creative with who they hire for the entertainment. It should suit their own musical tastes but they should also consider those of their attending guests. Price, size and location of the venue, power sources, volume and quality should be your main considerations.

As your guest arrive at the reception, it is always nice to have something playing as they walk into the entrance or lobby. It could be as simple as a pianist or guitarist. It could be the same entertainment that you have hired for after the meal. If there are enough funds available, there are other unique options such as a string quartet, a duo, or even mariachis. If you have a band slated to play later in the evening, you may even be able to utilize a few talented members to play the welcoming notes.

Some couples decide to use the same musicians for the entire evening. For more entertainment and impact, a larger group for after the meal or heavy appetizers are served may be just the thing to get the party started on a livelier note. A jazz, rock, or country and western band may make a wonderful choice for your more energetic guests.

A disc jockey is also a great choice for your event. Not only would one be far less expensive to book for your event but they would also be able to supply a very diverse choice of songs for the guests and bridal party. An experienced DJ is also a great master of ceremonies when it comes to announcing all the special moments on the agenda of the reception.

No matter what musicians you engage for your once-in-a-lifetime event, realize that the overall quality of the musicians is what is most important. They don't have to be expensive but they need to be talented and entertaining. With the right touches, your special day will become one of the most memorable evenings of your lifetime.
