What happens between guests arriving and carriages (AKA kicking out time)?<\/p>\n<p>You and your wedding party are ready; the caterers are primed, musicians have done their setting up and completed a soundcheck; your photographer is on site, camera in hand, flowers are in place and tables are set.

Or go for live music \u2014 such as a trio of string players or an acoustic duo.<\/li>\n<li>3:45 PM: <strong>Your Celebrant or Master Of Ceremonies invites guests to take their seats.<\/strong><br \/>\nOften this is the Best Man or one of the Ushers if you&#8217;re not hiring a Master of Ceremonies.<\/li>\n<li>4:00 PM: <strong>Your ceremony begins.<\/strong><br \/>\nYou could have an instrumental ensemble accompany as you tie the knot; or a wedding <a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/hire\/singers\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"11\" title=\"Hire Singers\">singer<\/a> to sing a song of sentimental value as the bride walks down the aisle. If you&#8217;ve opted for a band for the main dancing, ask them what they suggest for the ceremony. It&#8217;s not unusual for 2-3 members of the band to provide music here &#8211; perhaps acoustically &#8211; if it&#8217;s in the same venue.<\/li>\n<li>4:20 PM: <strong>Your ceremony ends.<br \/>\n<\/strong>Tears, laughter, cheering, confetti, perhaps some spontaneous dancing around the married couple! The hard bit is done and you&#8217;re married!<\/li>\n<li>4:25 PM: <strong>Drinks reception (and Photos if you&#8217;ve opted to have it now).<\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s common to take advantage of your guests being preoccupied with cocktails and canapes to have another photo session with your new spouse, extended family and best mates.Once that&#8217;s done (although be warned, this almost never goes to schedule but don&#8217;t worry, your guests are happy), you can hopefully mingle and enjoy the just-married glow with your wedding guests &#8211; and of course your background music will help shape the atmosphere.This might be a <a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/hire\/wedding-bands\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Hire Wedding Bands\">wedding band<\/a> playing easy-listening tunes or classical pieces; a DJ who can \u2018feel the room\u2019 and select tracks appropriately; or a DJ and live musician combination.<\/li>\n<li>5:40 PM: <strong>Dinner.<\/strong> You might have a buffet or a meal with table service \u2014 either way, think about music that will make the meal feel extra special. If you decide to book a live band for the whole day they\u2019ll need a break (and some food!); so you could create a dinner playlist to fill the gaps.<\/li>\n<li>6:25 PM: <strong><strong>Toasts &amp; Speeches.<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>7:30 PM: <strong>Your first dance.<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is one of those never-to-be-forgotten moments, so take time choosing the right piece of music. If you have a favourite \u2018couple song\u2019, a cover band could play it for you \u2014 but if you can\u2019t bear the thought of the band\u2019s version being different to the studio version that you know so well, get a DJ to play it instead.<\/li>\n<li>7:35 PM: <strong>The dance floor opens for all.<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is where your wedding music goes all in. A DJ could play hits to get every generation shimmying with champagne in hand. Or a live funk band could get a timeless groove going. The key for choosing music for dancing is to think about your guests as well as yourselves; you may love Drum and Bass, but a night of only D&amp;B will leave your Grandparents cold.<\/li>\n<li>8:00 PM: For a summer wedding, this is a great time to sneak away for sunset photographs!<\/li>\n<li>10:00 PM: <strong>Carriages.<\/strong><br \/>\nYour guests depart, and your vendors and helpers break down and pack up, although you&#8217;ll have disappeared long ago hopefully.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related-Articles\"><\/span>Related Articles:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/how-to-hire-wedding-band-booking-guide\/\">Wedding Planning: Wedding Band Booking Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wedding-planning-music-wedding-where-to-start\/\">Wedding Planning: Music at your Wedding, where to start<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wedding-planning-how-to-find-and-hire-a-dj-for-your-wedding\/\">Wedding Planning: How to find and hire a Wedding DJ<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/how-to-hire-function-band-booking-guide\/\">Function Band Booking Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/how-to-hire-singer-booking-guide\/\">Singer Booking Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/how-to-hire-guitarist-booking-guide\/\">Guitarist Booking Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/how-to-hire-string-quartet-booking-guide\/\">String Quartet Booking Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/category\/hiring-musicians\/\"><strong>All Booking Guides<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/category\/hiring-musicians\/\"><strong>Find Live Music for your Wedding<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Wedding Planning guide will take you through a Wedding Day Timeline (aka Schedule), typical timings and what you need to think about in terms of music for each part of your wedding day.
