What would a wedding be without music? A wedding without music is like cake without frosting, it’s still sweet, but it could be so much better.

Typically, most people plan to have a live band, a DJ, a few solo musicians, or a combination of all three at their wedding. In this article, we are going to go over 4 types of musicians for your wedding. Any of these options would be a great stand alone act, or you can combine them with a DJ or even a customized dance performance.

Drummers to Keep the Beat Going

If you want your wedding guests up on their feet and dancing, you should hire our wedding drummers. Our drummers can perform acapella, or to whatever the wedding DJ is playing. Imagine: our drummers hyping up the crowd as you make your entrance into the reception.

More so, while drums create interesting rhythms to dance to, they are also entertaining to watch regardless. For even more fun, try booking our jazz dancers with the drummers and watch as they dance to the beat!

Violinists to Enhance the Elegant Mood

Ah, the violin. When played by a master musician, the violin creates sweet melodies that add romance to any atmosphere. A violinist can serenade your guests at cocktail hour or while they’re waiting for the ceremony to start.

At Deya, we create experiences. Our solo wedding violinists often wear long, elegant dresses that match your wedding’s theme. In addition, they can stand on platforms so that they tower over your guest for added effect.

Pianists to Set Up a Romantic Dance

If you love a classic wedding, then a pianist might be best for you. Whether the pianist is playing Chopin or Beethoven, or maybe even a piano version of a popular song, nothing beats a live piano. Your guests will be delighted when they hear the warm sounds of the keys echo inside your venue.

The pianist can play during the ceremony as you walk down the aisle. For added inspiration, a jazz pianist can transport your guests into a speakeasy or roaring-twenties-themed cocktail hour.

Guitarists to Get the Party Rocking

When it comes to wedding guitarists, you have multiple options. For softer, romantic weddings, you should opt for an acoustic guitar. The acoustic guitar is much softer than the electric guitar. Acoustic guitar players are perfect for beach wedding entertainment, or romantic, intimate weddings.

If you love Rock music, then you might opt for the electric guitar for your reception or cocktail hour. While most people may think of heavy rock music when they think of an electric guitar, it doesn’t have to sound like that. Instead, an electric guitarist can play intricate rhythm with just a little more edge than an acoustic guitar.
