The instrument you choose shapes the entire feel of your ceremony, and the right choice depends on more than just personal taste. Venue size, acoustics, and setting all play a role.
For intimate indoor ceremonies think a chapel in Saint Paul or a boutique hotel ballroom in Madison a solo harpist or violinist creates an elegant, focused sound that fills the space without overwhelming it. For larger ceremonies with 150 or more guests, a string trio or quartet gives you the fullness and projection to reach every row. Outdoor ceremonies along Lake Mendota, on a vineyard terrace in the Wisconsin Driftless Area, or at a lakefront property in the Twin Cities metro typically call for amplification which we bring and manage ourselves.
An acoustic guitarist is a natural fit for couples with a warmer, more contemporary style. A violinist makes a strong statement outdoors and carries beautifully over ambient noise. A harp is stunning in quieter, sheltered settings but needs a covered space to perform at its best. We help you think through all of this during your planning consultation — so you’re not guessing.
