Why You Should Have Live Music on Your Wedding Day
When it comes to planning your wedding, there are a million little details that shape the day—from your dress and décor to your food and flowers. But there’s one element that has the power to completely transform the vibe: live music.
At With Love Weddings & Events, we believe music is the heartbeat of a wedding. It sets the tone, elevates the emotion, and helps create unforgettable memories. Whether it’s a soulful acoustic performance as you walk down the aisle or a romantic first dance under fairy lights, live music brings a level of magic that no playlist can match.
1. Emotion You Can Feel
Recorded music can sound beautiful, but nothing compares to the raw emotion of a live performance. When one of our artists plays your chosen aisle song, it’s more than just music—it’s your moment, in real time. A gentle acoustic guitar, soaring vocals, or a live piano version of your favourite love song can move your guests to tears.
Live music brings intimacy, warmth, and a deep emotional connection to your ceremony and reception.
2. Personalised to You
We tailor every performance to reflect you. Want a slowed-down version of a classic pop song? A folky twist on an R&B track? A romantic acoustic cover of your special tune? Our musicians can adapt, arrange, and perform your songs in a way that feels authentically yours.
With our custom ceremony packages, you can choose:
An aisle song
A signing song
A recessional (exit) song
We’ll create beautiful live versions that suit your vibe and venue perfectly.
3. Flexibility + Flow
One of the best things about having live musicians on your wedding day is how easily they can adjust in the moment. Whether your flower girl takes her time or the aisle walk runs longer than expected, our artists can extend or shorten the song seamlessly. No awkward fade-outs. No rushed moments. Just smooth, emotive transitions.
4. Live Music Transforms the Atmosphere
There’s something truly special about having a live musician performing while your guests arrive, sip cocktails, or eat dinner. It instantly creates an elevated, elegant atmosphere that recorded tracks simply can’t replicate. It’s warm, engaging, and completely sets the tone for the celebration ahead.
Pair this with our acoustic + DJ combo package and you get the best of both worlds: laid-back live music early on, followed by a high-energy DJ to keep the dance floor buzzing.
5. It Looks and Feels Incredible
Let’s be honest—live music doesn’t just sound amazing, it looks beautiful, too. An acoustic duo under a fig tree. A piano in a vineyard. A singer serenading your guests at sunset. These moments don’t just fill the air—they fill your photo album with emotion and life.
Live musicians also add a sense of elegance and thoughtfulness that makes your guests feel truly cared for.
6. Guests Will Remember It
Great music lingers in the memory long after the cake is cut. Guests often forget what was served for dinner—but they’ll remember the song you walked down the aisle to, or how it felt when the band played your first dance live.
Live music is one of the most emotionally resonant and memorable investments you can make for your wedding day.
