 As a ceremony musician, I have shared music for many beautiful weddings! In my experience, one of the aspects that can often be overlooked is the need for amplification. Many times I'm one of the people closest to the couple and even I cannot hear the vows. I imagine this can be disappointing for guests who want to hear what is being shared. Of course, not all ceremonies need amplification; however, these are a few things I would consider: #1. Is your wedding outdoors? If the wedding is outdoors, I would highly recommend adding ceremony sound to your package. In general, sound simply does not carry well in an outdoor space plus the outdoors often create extraneous sounds (e.g., wind blowing, birds chirping, and airplanes flying overhead). #2. How large is your guest count? With a smaller guest count, the officiant and couple may be able to project enough; however, the more guests, the more likely you will need a "boost" for everyone to hear! #3. Do you have older guests attending? Sometimes older guests have experienced some hearing loss which makes amplification a necessity for everyone to enjoy the ceremony. Finally, another consideration is that typically the bride and groom are facing one another instead of their guests. Although you may be able to project your voices, no one wants to be raising their voice at their soon-to-be spouse! ☺  Our ceremony sound package includes a speaker, a wireless lapel microphone for the officiant, and a wireless handheld microphone to be used by the couple (if desired) and any additional readers. Our goal is to provide high quality audio as inconspicuously as possible!

Lowcountry Pianist & Company participated in South Carolina’s Hilton Head Bridal Show on Sunday, hosted by Hilton Head Monthly Publication at the beautiful Belfair Club. It was an amazing event and, as always, we had an incredible time sharing music and meeting newly engaged couples.  Entrance to Belfair, Bluffton SC With every incredible bridal show we participate in, I wish I had attended a show when planning my own wedding. I strongly believe they are a must do for six primary reasons. You will… ✔ Increase Your Efficiency Although exciting, planning a wedding can certainly be time-consuming due to all the decisions you need to make for your big day! Bridal shows provide you the opportunity to meet many local vendors in one day. Professional photographers, caterers, musicians, florists, venues, DJ’s, and more are all in one location! Also meeting potential members of your wedding team in person truly makes a huge difference!
Undeniably music is essential to a beautiful wedding day, however, when brides are making checklists of what to include in their wedding day, I am often asked what are the advantages to including live music over recorded music. Here are four reasons that live music should be included in every wedding:  Atmosphere: Live music allows for a higher aesthetic quality. Music changes the atmosphere of any event and fosters memories that are unique and specific to that day! Adaptability: Whether the aisle is 20 feet or 200 feet, a professional musician can adapt and pace the music to allow for seamless transitions. Abrupt stops in recorded music can easily become tacky and distracting to a beautiful ceremony. Additionally, the music itself can be catered to personal preferences in instrumentation, tempo, and style. Maybe the hard rock version of a song doesn’t match a couple’s vision, but an adapted, acoustic version of the song would be perfect and unique. Live music gives couples the opportunity to be creative! Affordability: According to The Knot, the current average cost of a wedding is $31,213. Although couples may spend less or more, it is undeniable that music packages starting at $350 are relatively affordable when planning a wedding and are worth the investment! Advice: Making decisions about music can be overwhelming at times and it is incredibly helpful to have an experienced musician on your team to make it an easy and fun process. Professional musicians can provide consultation to assist in choosing the right music. Getting married in the Lowcountry of SC and considering adding live music on your wedding day?
