Newcastle has a long history in the music and entertainment sector and we bring together the best in their fields to help with your selection. Music provides the occasion with a setting that is truly personal to the bridal couple. From the entrance of the bride at the ceremony through to the reception, the bride and groom can stamp their individual touch on the day.
The wedding ceremony, particularly traditional church weddings, begins with the prelude which is just prior to the ceremony. Typical music played at this time would be 'Ave Maria' or perhaps 'Air on the G String'. This leads on to the Processional where 'The Bridal Chorus' is a popular choice, through to the Recessional when the bride and groom leave to a piece such as the 'Wedding March'.
During the pre-reception period a string quartet can provide ambient background music, as can a harpist or any music that is favoured by the bridal couple. You may wish to serve champagne and canapés at this time whilst the wedding party have photographs taken.
Your choice of music at the reception ultimately depends on personal preference but you may wish to take your guests’ age groups into account, for example if many children or elderly relations are invited.
Newcastle has countless bands to choose from, or you may decide on a DJ for the evening. A DJ will cater to your exact music tastes and may provide a more cost effective option. Alternatively you may decide on a band and DJ together. It is worth checking that your choice of venue does not place any constraints on your choice of entertainment.
Finally apart from music there are several other ways to entertain your guests. You may opt for a magician during pre-reception drinks or to move around the tables during the meal. There are limitless options available to you in Newcastle including conjurers, fire-eaters or even comedians. We have brought together a selection of the best to help with your decision.
