South Florida Wedding Musicians; Making The Right Choice
Selecting the best South Florida wedding Bands for your wedding can either create magical times, or put the kabosh on your perfect day. What ensues are some suggestions and pitfalls to avoid in choosing your South Florida wedding band.
Hire the Pros
Performing a wedding ceremony requires professionalism and a musical timing that many students have yet to attain.
In playing music during the wedding procession, the musicians must be able to time the music’s tempo, start, ending, as well as be able to go into a “holding 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 moment is amongst the most memorable at any wedding ceremony, and must be well done for maximum impact.
Classical Musicians Can Add Traditional Flair
Classical players always add an feeling of romance and tradition to any wedding ceremony. Not only from the sound of a classical ensemble, but the look 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 Adaptability
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 high quality symphonic sounds from the keyboard, in addition to the flute player.
They can then switch to jazz piano and sax for the cocktail hour, and play Porter, contemporary tunes and show music in contrast to the ceremony repertoire. It can also be easier on the budget to use the band musicians for your South Florida wedding ceremony music.
