\"jazz<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s so much that goes into planning a wedding<\/a>, and it\u2019s understandable that you\u2019d want everything to be just right \u2013 from the venue and menu, to the wedding attire and activities. But there\u2019s one thing that can really tie a whole wedding together \u2013 the music. From the guests\u2019 entry, to the ceremony, reception, and party afterwards, you\u2019ll need music for it all. 

But what kind of music should you go for? Individual tastes will differ, of course, and it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll already have some ideas. But if you\u2019re still undecided, and looking for inspiration, read on to find out why jazz music \u2013 above all else \u2013 is the perfect choice for a wedding.

It\u2019s classy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no denying that jazz music can enhance the sophistication of your big day. Soft, background jazz is the perfect first impression to greet your guests with, as they enter the venue and sip on a glass of champagne. And it will be the perfect accompaniment to other moments throughout the day too \u2013 such as when your guests are waiting around when you have your photos taken, or waiting for food to be served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For spectacular moments, such as the bride walking down the aisle, this soft background jazz can progress into something more uptempo \u2013 but still sophisticated. \u201cAt Last\u201d by Etta James<\/a>, for example, is a popular choice for the bride\u2019s entrance \u2013 and perfectly suited to a live rendition by your jazz band.

When it\u2019s time to party at the end of the evening, of course, you\u2019ll want something even more uptempo. And jazz is more than versatile enough to accommodate this shift in tone \u2013 perfect for getting everyone out onto the dance floor. Consult with your jazz band in advance to ensure that they\u2019re prepared to play the songs you love \u2013 you\u2019d be surprised by how good jazz covers of popular hits can be!

It\u2019s unique<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing like seeing a live jazz band up close and personal<\/a>. Your guests will be fascinated watching the saxophones and trumpets in action, and the fact that jazz music is partly improvised \u2013 making each performance unique \u2013 adds to the charm even further. With so many weddings using just a Spotify playlist nowadays, having a live jazz band shape the atmosphere of your day is sure to be a memorable experience for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can complement your wedding theme<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald\u2019s The Great Gatsby, and Baz Luhrmann\u2019s extravagant film adaptation of 2013, many weddings are going for a 1920s theme nowadays \u2013 and jazz music is simply a must for this. No other genre will suit this theme in quite the same way. Find a band that can dress up to the nines to fit into your day\u2019s whole aesthetic, and have fun partying away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
