Jazz Trio a BIG hit for cocktail hour
Posted by: | Comments
Music In Motion’s Jazz trio recently performed at the Waterview for a wedding reception. The band performed all the standards from ” Satin Dolls ” to ” The Way You Look Tonight.” Lake Zoar made a great backdrop while the guests listened to the music enjoying the atmosphere.
This is the ultimate cocktail hour entertainment and something uniquely different for a bride and groom looking for and edge at their event. Many people often wonder about what is better entertainment for a wedding reception? Band or DJ. Here is a way to do the best of both without breaking the bank. Having a Jazz trio for the first hour and DJ for the final 4 hours will satisfy every musical taste. Not to mention the classy atmosphere created. If you want to start out your event on the right foot, give live music a consideration.
Live Music is very popular option for ceremony
Posted by: | Comments
I have seen a very obvious shift from wedding ceremonies held at a church compared to the present, where many couples are holding their ceremony at the wedding facility.
Back in the 90′s, only about 25% of couples had a ceremony on site at the facility they have their reception. Now the number is about 50%. Many facilities have added beautiful gardens with waterfalls, or beach front gazebos. For what ever the reason, wedding ceremonies at a church are not a forgone conclusion anymore. It is for this reason that many of our clients are electing to have ceremony upgrades with Music In Motion.
One of our most popular options is Live Music. In 2005, we added a Live Music division. Now our music troop has 17 professional musicians from the Hartford Conservatory of Music. We can provide everything from a soloist, right down to a full string quartet. Instruments featured are Violin, Viola, Cello, Flute, Oboe, and Trumpet.
What makes live music such a popular option is the visual beauty that is added to the music. Guests can enjoy true artists creating the music live in front of their eyes. It certainly adds to the wedding experience. For the bride walking down the aisle, having her music played for her by a group creates the romantic moment that every Cinderella is looking for!
The one thing to keep in mind is that there are professional and amateurs, just like with DJs. Choose carefully because you will hear obvious difference from a professional musician and a student trying to make a few extra dollars. Please feel free to view our live musicians on the Music In Motion ” Live Music ” page of our website. You can even watch samples on video!
Where ever you hold your wedding ceremony, live music will add that extra special touch!
