If you plan to get married on the beach, and want to keep things authentic and tropical, you will want the right kind of beach wedding music. The right kind of music playing at your wedding will definitely help set the tone. Keeping things simple is the way to go, plus it will keep the costs down. Try looking for a guitar player or two who can play tropical beach wedding music. He or she can play softly during the wedding reception, all instrumentally of course, no singing. Guitarists playing strings softly in the background can be very romantic and still have a tropical feel. Prices will vary from person to person, however, but if you still find a professional wedding entertainer too expensive, you can make a CD of your own for your beach wedding music.
Many websites today will allow you to download any kind of wedding music for a small fee. You will want to try out a few sound systems if you're going to use recorded beach wedding music. The same sounds that make having a wedding on the beach wonderful, like the sound of rolling waves and the balmy beach breezes can really play havoc on your beach wedding music.
The breeze can carry the music in the other direction and it may be a bit tough to dance your first wedding dance to music you can't hear. Hopefully the day of your wedding will not be too breezy. Morning or early evening times may be the best time to hold a wedding ceremony and reception.
If you want to be a bit more extravagant, and want the total tropical feel, then hiring a Calypso steel drum band may be the right choice for your beach wedding. If you live in a state where beaches are plentiful, then you may find a Calypso band to play music that will not cost you an arm and a leg. Plus, a Calypso band usually has no more than three entertainers, so you can still keep your beach wedding small and personal.
No matter what you choose for your beach wedding music, you will need to check out what the rules and codes are for the beach you choose. There may be restrictions and regulations on how many people can be a part of your wedding, so a band of any kind may be out of the question. There may also be sound restrictions on how loud your ceremony and music can be. It would be in your best interest to check these things out first before you choose the beach wedding music you want to play.
So get out your beach bag, invite your wedding guests, and try to pick the most sunny day of the Summer. Beach themed weddings are popular. There are many beach themed products on the market, such as ocean themed wedding invitations, beach themed wedding favors, flip flop keychains, beach theme coasters and other gifts for your guests that can also double as beach party decorations. Happy hunting for the perfect beach wedding music you can find and have a great wedding day at the beach!
