What to expect

Kayla provides all essential sound equipment and is happy to travel to your wedding. The music runs from melodic ceremony pieces to a reception set designed to keep guests engaged.

Choosing your songs

Pick processional and recessional music first, then decide whether you want covers of songs that matter to you. Ask whether a song can be arranged for acoustic performance and how much notice is needed.

Practical points

• Confirm power and a quiet corner for setup
• Share the order of events with the musician
• Plan breaks if the set is long
• Agree what happens if the weather changes

Auditioning the music

Ask for sample recordings or a list of songs, and confirm whether special requests are possible. Find out how many sets are included, how long the performance lasts, what space is needed and how much time is required to set up and sound check before guests arrive. Talk through volume with your venue, since an outdoor ceremony and an indoor dinner each call for a different setup.
