Beach Wedding Common Questions
and Answers:
Questions:
1. Normally a beach ceremony
is around 30 minutes. Would the ceremony fee include playing while
guests are arriving/departing?
2. What do you normally wear
to a beach wedding function?
3. Is there a required
contract, and when are payments due?
4. Do you require electricity
on the beach?
Answers:
1. For Beach Wedding
Ceremonies we usually arrive on location 1 hour prior to the start of
the ceremony. 30 minutes prior to the ceremony we are set up along
side the wedding arch and seating area performing music selections
with island, beach, tropical, and love themes as the families and
guests arrive. For the seating of the mothers we usually perform
Pachelbel's Canon in D. As the bridal party processes we perform
Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire. The standard for the Bride's entrance is
the Bridal March (Here Comes the Bride). The Recessional is usually
the Wedding March. Some couples depart from the norm and have us play
songs like Can't Help Falling In Love, What a Wonderful World, or How
Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You.
When the ceremony is
complete, if there is no reception to rush off to perform at, we
usually stay to perform a few more musical selections as guests
socialize after the ceremony.
2. The common dress for Beach
Wedding Ceremonies is Khaki Pants, Island Tropical Shirts, and good
quality leather Sandals. Occasionally couples request to have us wear
white shirts.
3. To reserve the date on our
calendar we require a contract and 50% deposit - the balance due upon
completion of the wedding or reception.
4. No electricity is required
for beach performances. With 2 sets of steel drums performing we have
melody, harmonies, and rhythms covered by the drums. To our
knowledge, we are the only steel drum duo performing beach wedding
ceremonies on the gulf coast - all others are single performers.
