If you're currently planning your big day and you're thinking of ways to make it personal, uplifting, and unforgettable, not just for yourselves but also your guests, then let's talk music. After 5 years in the wedding industry and hundreds of weddings, here's something that's stood out to me when I see my couple's talking about their big day, or even their guests: one of the first things they talk about was the music, especially so if it was live music. I suppose regardless of the wedding, the ambience will always be what's remembered, and music will definitely be a huge factor in this. So let me introduce you to one of my favourite wedding suppliers, Jane Gray Wedding Pianist.
Jane is not only amazingly talented and just a lovely soul, but highlights my point perfectly about creating ambience, as on a couple of occasions now she's made me go a little blurry eyed at wedding fairs as I do my best to hold back tears!
Jane not only has a huge set list of music for you to choose from, but she has the skills to make any song sound wedding ready. Never have I been more emotional listening to renditions of Blink-182 and Sum-41 before! I've witnessed this first hand whereby she asks couples passing by what their favourite song is, and regardless of what they've said, she's played something really beautiful and all by ear, whether it's a 90's dance classic or (my favourite) noughties pop punk.
Jane works with you closely in the months leading up to your wedding to tailor your set list so that you have a playlist personalised to you both, and will learn up to 3 specific song requests. Songs that mean the most to you can be played for your guests arriving, as you walk down the aisle, drinks reception, wedding breakfast and more.
Live music brings a sense of authenticity and intimacy to a wedding, and unlike recorded music, live music can adapt to the ambience of the day. Add in Jane, and she'll tailor a day that reflects the individuality of you as a couple, ensuring that your wedding day is a true reflection of your love story.
