When deciding if you are going to have a string quartet or even an electric guitar perform at your wedding ceremony, there are some logistical questions you need to first answer before cementing any plans. First of all, if you are marrying outdoors, it is important that it is possible for the musicians to be sheltered. The performers’ instruments like clarinets, violins and harps are extremely delicate and they are precious to the musicians. If there is even the slightest drizzle on the big day, your musical performance may come to an abrupt end if there is no covering. To ensure everything goes smoothly, simply get a tent or gazebo for the musicians to play under so their instruments are safe and secure from the elements.

In addition, if you are getting married in a public place, there may be restrictions on your ceremony music. Some sites have noise restrictions that are enforced for different times of the day so it is important to figure out if these apply to you so you can follow the rules accordingly. If you have any questions, ask your site manager for the rules and regulations and also be sure to ask about available for outlets in case any of the instruments (like an electric guitar) need to be plugged in.
