Your Wedding Music Questions Answered (An Expert Guide)

Planning your wedding music can feel exciting…but also a little overwhelming.

With so many choices, timings, and decisions to make, it’s completely natural to have questions.

So we’ve brought together some of the most common questions we’re asked, to help you feel confident, informed, and excited about your music.

✨ Where Do We Even Start with Wedding Music?

This is usually the first question.

Our advice?

Start with the key moments:

• ceremony

• drinks reception

• wedding breakfast

From there, think about:

• the atmosphere you want

• the songs you love

• how you want your day to feel

Everything else builds naturally from that.

💍 What Songs Should I Walk Down the Aisle To?

This is one of the most important choices you’ll make.

Popular options include:

• “Perfect” – Ed Sheeran

• “Wildest Dreams” – Taylor Swift

• “A Thousand Years” – Christina Perri

The best choice?

👉 A song that feels meaningful to you.

🎼 How Many Songs Do We Need for the Ceremony?

Typically:

• 1–2 songs for the entrance

• 1–2 songs for signing

• 1 song for the exit

👉 Around 3–5 songs in total

Plus optional music as guests arrive.

🥂 Do We Really Need Music for the Drinks Reception?

Short answer:

👉 You don’t need it, but it makes a huge difference.

It helps:

• create atmosphere

• encourage conversation

• set the tone for the rest of your day

This is why our Gold Package (Ceremony + Drinks Reception) is our most popular choice.

🎻 Will the Music Be Too Loud?

Not at all.

Live strings are naturally:

• soft

• warm

• and adaptable

We always adjust to the space so your guests can:

• talk comfortably

• relax

• and enjoy the atmosphere

🌧️ What Happens If It Rains?

If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, this is a common concern.

The key things we need are:

• shelter

• shade

• a backup plan

We’ll work with your venue to ensure everything runs smoothly—whatever the weather.

🎶 Can We Choose Our Own Songs?

Absolutely.

You can:

• choose every piece

• pick a few favourites

• or give us a feel and let us guide you

We’ll help you create something that flows beautifully.

🎻 What If Our Song Isn’t on Your List?

No problem at all.

We can:

• source an arrangement

• or create one especially for you

This means your music can be completely personal to your story.

⏱️ How Does Timing Work on the Day?

We take care of this for you.

We:

• arrive early (at least 30 minutes before)

• coordinate with your venue

• time everything to your schedule

So everything feels seamless and stress-free.

💫 Do We Need Music Beyond the Ceremony?

This is where many couples change their minds.

While ceremony music is essential…

The drinks reception (and beyond) is where music really has time to:

• create atmosphere

• be enjoyed

• and shape your day

That’s why many couples choose to extend their booking.

🎼 What Makes Live Music So Special?

There’s something about live music that simply can’t be replicated.

It:

• adapts in real time

• creates atmosphere

• adds a visual and emotional element

And when modern songs are played on strings…

They become something truly unique.

🎻 How Do We Know What’s Right for Us?

The best way?

👉 Think about how you want your wedding to feel.

Do you want it to feel:

• elegant

• relaxed

• modern

• romantic

Your music should reflect that.

And we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
