Are you dreaming of a unique duet or incredible quartet for your wedding ceremony? How about the perfect 5 piece band to rock to all night long?

There is such an emotional connection to music especially on your big day! From the moment your guests arrive, the music sets an ambiance for the moments before the I do’s. Imagine walking to a gorgeous ceremony surrounded by oak trees and rolling green pastures and listening to the best tunes to set the mood, a vocalist, a guitarist – so much fun and joy! The ceremony music is especially important as it sets the vibe for your biggest moment! Live music during your ceremony creates a connection and interaction for you and all of your guests that they won’t forget! Live music creates a personalization on your wedding day that will truly be unforgettable.

Take it from Garrett Pelland, a professional wedding and event musician. He explains how important wedding music is to set the feeling and mood for your perfect wedding.

“Planning a wedding is all about creating moments that feel uniquely yours. One of the most powerful ways to make your ceremony unforgettable is through live music. As a wedding musician, I love collaborating with couples to craft the perfect soundtrack for their ceremony and cocktail reception. Whether it’s performing the song that played on your first date or arranging a fresh take on a tune that holds special meaning, I make it my purpose to bring your vision to life. There is the option of having a DJ simply play a recording of the song, but live music has a uniqueness that cannot be replicated; the performance exists for that one time only. I’ve had the privilege of performing for over 80 weddings, which also means I know how to adapt when the unexpected happens and still deliver a seamless performance. And throughout it all, I stay focused on what matters most—that this day is about you and the love you’re celebrating. What’s great about working with a solo guitarist like me is the flexibility it brings. If there are last-minute changes, I’m quick to adjust and when it comes to logistics, my guitar and I are highly portable which can be useful or even essential at some remote outdoor venues. If you’re looking to add that extra layer of magic to your wedding, I’d love to help create a soundtrack that’s as meaningful and unforgettable as the love you’re celebrating. ” Garrett Pelland
