Many couples will assume that those popular tunes will tick the box in keeping their guests happy. Whilst this is mostly true, it is how those well-known tracks are delivered and performed that can tap into something special and unique on your day. Classical can mean a lot of things but it definitely aspires to the more traditional aspect of weddings. Think violins, string quartets, cellists, beautifully crafted acoustic guitars and towering harps.

So when is the best time to have classical musicians? The ceremony can be quite a serious part of the day so having classical entertainment here can relax guests and set a beautiful scene immediately. Before the wedding ceremony, usually the guests are waiting for anything from 20-30 minutes. The last thing you want during the wait is an air of tension and nervous energy! Eliminate this with some live music and wonderful ambience.
