ADVICE

How Instrument Choice Will Ensure Your Wedding Is Unique

Live music elevates a wedding ceremony, but selecting the right instruments adds deeper meaning and unforgettable flair. From cultural nods to guest participation, your musical choices shape your wedding's emotional tone.


Can Classic Wedding Songs Feel Fresh Again?


Yes—changing the instrument creates a new sonic experience. A familiar melody like “We’ve Only Just Begun” sounds radically different when played on:


  • Alto saxophone

  • French horn

  • Harp

  • String trio or quartet

  • Harmonica

Tip: If piano feels tired, ask your Boston wedding band to perform classics with string or acoustic arrangements.


How Can I Honour My Heritage Through Wedding Music?


Incorporating a national instrument can add cultural depth. For example:


Heritage Instrument Example
Scottish Bagpipes
Indigenous Traditional drums
Chinese Guzheng
Australian Didgeridoo

Choose instruments that reflect your background and story, not just for trend value. Live music with personal meaning resonates more deeply with guests—especially when it highlights your identity or values.


Can Guests Participate in the Ceremony Music?


Yes—interactive music creates symbolic moments. Invite guests to join the celebration by:


  • Handing out egg shakers or tambourines

  • Letting children play homemade noisemakers

  • Planning a “group cheer” moment after the vows

This musical union visually and emotionally represents the merging of two families.


What’s the Most Unique Music Choice for Weddings?


Hiring live musicians is the most impactful decision. Live performance offers:


  • Dynamic energy that recorded tracks lack

  • The ability to adapt tempo and tone to live moments

  • A visually engaging experience for guests

Whether it’s a bold brass ensemble or a soft acoustic duo, live wedding music in Boston will always stand out.

I loved the music; the violinist really set the atmosphere and I was almost lost for breath as I was about to walk down the aisle. We had talked about getting emotional thinking about that particular song and that was definitely the case for me on the day.
