Essex Wedding Singers Can Improve Your Wedding Day
Hi, I’m Tracy! One of a number of Essex Wedding Singers that you could choose to enhance your wedding day, although I’m hoping after reading this blog that you’ll pick me! I imagine that you’re busy planning everything from the flowers to the wedding breakfast menu and that all important cake but have you thought about how live music could fit into your day?
Music is the perfect way of making your day unique and special. Certain songs can really take you back to certain parts of your life – a memorable holiday, school discos, your first day at college, that song your Nan always used to sing to you! So, why not use those personal songs or choose new songs that will help you make new memories of the most special day of your life? It just makes sense! And I want to show you how Essex Wedding Singers or even Suffolk Singers can make this happen for you at each part of your wedding day.
The Ceremony
Whether you are getting married in a church or having a civil ceremony, you will be asked for a list of songs for each of these moments…
The Processional – The song that is played as the bride walks down the aisle.
Signing the Register – Two or three songs as you sign the register.
The Recessional – The song that is played as you walk back up the aisle as newlyweds.
All of the best Essex Wedding Singers will be able to help and guide you with your song choices. Having a live singer means that the songs can be shortened so that they fit the exact length of your aisle walk and no one will be awkwardly waiting around for the song to finish. A live singer can help create slower, more bespoke acoustic versions of the songs that you love. So, if playing the original rock song over the venue’s system might be a bit loud and just too much, a live singer might be able to create you a version that is more romantic and fitting for such an important ceremony.
Drinks Reception
This is the part of the day where you will be off with your photographer and your guests will be mingling with drinks and canapés. Most couples book Essex Wedding Singers or Suffolk Singers for this part of the day to perform for the guests and keep everyone entertained whilst the newlyweds are not about.
Live music can help create a lovely atmosphere which can blend into the background as your guests chat away but can also create a focal point for when conversation might dry up between guests that don’t know each other or haven’t seen each other for years! I’ve also been at weddings where the party has started early at the drinks reception and bridesmaids and groomsmen have boogied away to the live music!
The Wedding Breakfast
The most recent trend is for the newlyweds to be announced into the room and enter once the guests are already seated to an upbeat celebratory song. Most good Essex Wedding Singers will also hype up your guests and get them dancing and singing along or even waving their napkins in the air! Again, you might decide to have a shorter version of your chosen song at this point which most Essex Wedding Singers will be able to work out for you. You might even want them to start from the chorus which won’t sound nearly as good if you’re relying on someone skipping to this point on a stereo.
After this, it’s back to relaxed background music as you and your guests dine. Whether you choose sophisticated jazz, laid back ballads or a more upbeat vibe is up to your personal preference and your singer will be able to guide you with this and might even give you a song list to choose from. You can find my song lists here.
Evening Reception
Now it’s party time and that important moment everyone has been waiting for – the first dance! Your singer will be able to personalise this and turn whatever song you choose into the perfect romantic first dance that you will never forget.
After that, it’s straight into the party! The best Essex Wedding Singers will launch straight into an absolute banger to keep everyone right where they are on that dance floor. Some Essex Wedding Singers might even offer the chance to upgrade to a band option for the evening. I offer a few varieties of my band that you can check out here…
