Music for Weddings
You can see, hear and read about Paul Simmons as the provider of the entertainment
for your special day.
It's your day!! You choose how the whole day will go, what songs you want, what atmosphere you want.
Don't settle for ".....well I hope he plays this and hope he doesn't play that......"
By the way if you need a DJ this can be arranged for you as well.
Paul will liaise with you and make sure that you know what you are getting.
Where is the music required?? Consider your options
1. The ceremony. From a quarter of an hour before the ceremony to the entrance of the bride, through the
signing and to the exit of the happy couple. All the songs can be chosen by you and it doesn't have
to be "...The wedding march....". Why not Cole Porter, REM, David Gray, Al Green, Van Morrison,
Paul Weller? Best for piano only for this part.
2. The photos and drinks. You have had the list from me to choose some songs. Piano/vocal whilst you
are celebrating with champagne and nibbles. I'll start gauging the atmosphere. It will be background,
I'll chat with people, ask them if they want to hear a tune, keep it all relaxed and informal.
3. The sit down meal/buffet. More piano/vocal. The sound level is crucial. Not too loud and intrusive but
good enough to create an atmosphere. Crucial that you have informed me of the songs NOT to play.
The reason is that a certain song can cause an upset if a song is played that has a sad connection
for anybody. Live music and vocals is so much better than CD's at the meal.
4. The evening entertainment. Well yes, call it a day for the piano/vocalist if you want. Alternatively
you can have a DJ or how about a mixture of piano/vocal with the full band backing sound plus a DJ.
It's your choice!
Price is important. Paul Simmons will normally charge between £75 and £125 an hour depending
on the number of hours. A whole day is even cheaper per hour whereas two hours is the higher fee.
Just phone or email and we can discuss what you want. Don't leave it to chance.
