Do you want explosions and fireworks? In which case your favourite pop rock anthem would set the room alight (metaphorically).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that same heavy banger might not suit a graceful arrival in a beautiful wooden boat to your lakeside reception venue. Perhaps a string quartet playing some elegant Mozart would be more suitable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other options might include a lighthearted but energetic arrival, or an entertaining comedic routine, or even a showstopping acrobatic stunt. Throw some ideas and descriptive words around, and work out what would reflect who you are and what you love. So, step one: decide on a vibe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now comes the hard part. Choose your tune! Use our categorised recommendations and you&#8217;ll have the ideal song in no time. Listen along to our <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/1uvzu9iWpa1tJ1YN6qKAfq?si=V-KBicMcQ5GiaRQifrWtDQ\">Spotify Playlist<\/a> to get some inspiration&#8230;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So now you\u2019re all set with the atmosphere and the song, you\u2019re next task is to decide what format you want the music in. You can always play music through some speakers, but nothing beats live musicians playing bespoke requests&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"maxbutton-3 maxbutton maxbutton-search-musicians\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Browse all musicians\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/?utm_source=encoremusicians.com\/blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=blog_enquiry-button_sidebar\"><span class='mb-text'>Search musicians \u2192<\/span><\/a><p>Browse the thousands of <a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/hire\/wedding-bands\">wedding musicians<\/a> and bands who are part of the Encore family.
