I am really interested in hearing what everyone will be using for there coctail hour music. This is something I've yet to make a decission on. Our ceremony will be at the reception hall & we are going to use trumpters for the cermony, but I'm not sure if want them to do my coctail hour. I need suggestions. Thanks!
I'm having a keyboardist and a strolling violinist..
It really depends on your taste. I am not a fan of mushy slow music or classical music. I wanted my cocktail hour to reflect our broad taste in music esp. stuff they could not play during the reception. The DJ we used mixed a tape of all types of songs we liked. Things from Billy Joel to Natalie Merchant to Bette Midler to Pearl Jam (slower songs) to cheesy hair band music. Many people recognized this and commented how thye liked it better! It didn't take away from the elegance at all. It was just really background music.
I am having a keyboardist.
Jazz trio. Piano, drums and string bass playing jazz standards throughout.
Good question, I was thinking harpist and strolling violins, but now I'm reconsidering and might go with a piano player and singer so you get the best of both worlds...
DJ will play soft background music. (Sinatra, Kenny G...that type of stuff)
I am having a guitarist play. He will probably stroll around and mingle...he also sings so he may bust out some tunes if he feels its the right time.
We are having a sax and keyboard player at the cocktail hour!.........
We are having a steel drum player from Get in Tune, we saw her at a bridal show and it was amazing!!
We are also having steel drums for our cocktail hr.provided by Get In Tune DJs.
The same keyboardist that is doing my ceremony is staying for cocktail hour. he is the same pianist that Jenny11.9 used for her wedding at Oheka castle.
we are doing a violin, cello, flute trio!
violin and cello
The ceremony and reception is at the beach so we're having our DJ play Beach boys, Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffett, etc. Trying to make it more like a party than a traditional cocktail hour.
Thanks everyone for their great input!
