6 Reasons to Hire Live Musicians For Your Wedding
Many people avoid hiring live musicians for one reason- they think the DJ’s are more likely to get everything just right. I am here to tell you that is a misconception. While, yes, DJ’s provide a wonderful service for any event, there is something about live musicians that seem to capture a special spark that pre- recorded music never could. Here are reasons why you should consider hiring live musicians for your ceremony, reception or any special event.
LIVE MUSIC SOUNDS BETTER
Nowadays, pre- recorded music tends to be so over- edited that it adds nothing to the dynamics and activities to your special event.Sure, DJs are exciting, but the actual sound of live instrumentalists and vocalists is truly unmatched when in comparison with over-dubbed, pre recorded music.
LIVE MUSIC CAN BE MORE ENTERTAINING FOR A CROWD
Live music not only provides a great sound for your wedding, but musical presence as well. Live music is more likely to get your family and friends dancing and talking with one another. All ages love watching live music and it brings the guests together in a timeless way.
LIVE MUSIC EVOKES MORE EMOTION
I believe this is true of live music, in general. It hits you different and there really aren’t words beautiful enough to describe it.
LIVE MUSIC ADDS A GREAT VIBE TO YOUR EVENT
Live musicians look more sophisticated in your photographs and videos. How can you beat looking and sounding great? You can relax to the beautiful sounds of a live ensemble while you pose and talk to your guests.
ALL AGES LOVE LIVE MUSIC
Live music adds a timeless flair to your wedding ceremony that guests of all ages can appreciate. Live music attracts the elderly and children through the unspeakable bond of music. It’s great when an elderly guest expresses how one of the songs reminds them of their past. Also, when a child admires an instrument that may encourage them to learn themselves.
LIVE MUSIC IS PROVEN TO CREATE MORE MEMORIES IN THE BRAIN
Two recent studies- one in the United States and the other in Japan- found that music doesn’t just help retrieve stored memories, it also helps us lay down new ones. Combine this with the reasons listed above, and you have the ultimate memory making and storing experience! Visual and auditory receptors in your guests’ brains will literally be storing the memories of your wedding day more effectively. The brain is incredible and actually will hold on to the memories you associate with music longer. If you have guests with memory issues, perhaps hearing the live music will even spark moments of clarity!
