Hire an Orchestra for a Wedding Near Me?
Choosing a Live Orchestra is easier than you think.
Thinking live orchestra music might be the right move for your wedding? When you talk to musicians you’re thinking of hiring, be sure to ask these questions:
Will you arrange music for us? How many songs? This is important if you want something like the Sigur Ros number above: it’s important to establish right away whether the musicians will arrange new music for your event.
Will you learn new songs for us? Most groups have a stable of music they know well. And most groups are happy to learn new music for your ceremony. But be sure to ask. Generally speaking, learning a new orchestral arrangement is easier than arranging a non-orchestral song. So it’s reasonable that a group will arrange one song from scratch but learn two or three new ones.
What songs should we have? We are so happy to answer this! If you have one song you know you want (say, an arrangement of a song that’s important to you two) but aren’t sure what the rest of the night should sound like, we’ve got a ton of suggestions. That’s the benefit of working with folks who have been working in the wedding industry for years: we know what sounds good in a downtown loft or church or barn or field.
Do we need a bass player? A vocalist? If you’ve got a musical background, you probably don’t need to ask this because you’ll have a sense of what arrangements will sound like with the various orchestral pieces. But if you aren’t musically inclined, ask the musicians what they recommend for the music you’ve chosen. The last thing you want is for your perfect song to sound too light because there’s no bass player. De bois is always happy to talk through your ideas and find the right music package for you.
How much will it cost? Not that we need to remind you, but it is important to establish this once you’ve got an idea of how many people you want playing, how much music you want them to learn, and for how much of your celebration you want them to play. Most bands don’t post prices online precisely because these variables make it tricky to offer a “standard” cost. So if you’re curious about how to bring the classic orchestral sound to your wedding, feel free to Contact Us for more information.
