The Charm of Acoustic Music at Weddings

When it comes to weddings, music plays a crucial role in creating the right ambience. Acoustic music, with its raw and organic sound, has a unique charm that resonates with emotions and creates an intimate atmosphere. Unlike traditional wedding bands or DJs, acoustic musicians bring a sense of authenticity and artistry to your wedding day. The stripped-down nature of acoustic music allows the melodies and lyrics to shine, making it perfect for capturing the emotions and love that surround a wedding.

Acoustic music has a timeless quality that transcends trends and fads. Whether you prefer classic love songs or contemporary hits, acoustic musicians can adapt their repertoire to suit your preferences. From romantic ballads to upbeat folk tunes, they can create a playlist that reflects your journey as a couple. The soothing sounds of acoustic instruments, such as guitars, violins, and pianos, add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your wedding celebrations. It’s no wonder that acoustic music has become increasingly popular among couples who want to create a warm and intimate atmosphere on their special day.

Acoustic music also offers the flexibility to be performed in various settings. Whether you’re planning an outdoor wedding in a garden or a cosy indoor ceremony in a rustic barn, acoustic musicians can adapt to the acoustics of the venue. Their portable instruments and wireless setups make it easy for them to move around and perform in different locations throughout your wedding day. This versatility ensures that the music seamlessly integrates with the overall ambience, enhancing the atmosphere and creating a memorable experience for you and your guests.

2. **Classical and Instrumental**: If you’re looking for a more traditional and elegant ambience, classical and instrumental music is an excellent choice. From timeless compositions by Mozart and Bach to modern instrumental arrangements, these songs add a touch of sophistication to your wedding day.

3. **Pop and Rock**: For a more upbeat and energetic atmosphere, consider incorporating popular pop and rock songs into your acoustic wedding band’s repertoire. Artists like Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, and Coldplay offer a range of catchy and romantic tunes that will get your guests on their feet.

Sound Limiters at Venues

More and more venues are now having sound limiters fitted at their venue. This is a device that measures the level of noise in decibels. When the pre-set level is reached the sound limiter will cut off the supply to the bands instruments which might trigger damage to their equipment.

There is a visual sign on the limiter that services a “traffic light” system:

Green indicates there is no problem.

Amber indicates sound levels are approaching the optimum limit.

Red indicates it has actually been breached.

If the light stays on red for just a few secs, after that the sound limiter is going to cut off the power.

Many limiters are set between 85-95 decibels but differ from one venue to another. Factors for a limiter having to be fitted are mainly the locality or from neighbours complaining regarding the noise.

The benefit of hiring an acoustic band rather than a party band is that they should not be affected by a limiter as they perform unplugged or with low amplification.
