Parties and weddings with a theme can be so spectacular and memorable.  A themed event can set a tone of fun, majesty, or opulence.

When using a party or wedding theme, music can play an important role.  Thematic music can elevate your theme to another level and really make the event memorable.  Since you are going to have music anyway, thematic music can also save money in decor, special food, etc., by setting the mood with music. (We can help!)

After selecting a party or wedding theme, think about all the different choices of music ensembles, costumes and songs that you can incorporate.  Orlando has unlimited choices for party and wedding musicians.  If you combine themed music with a beautiful room and food you can’t go wrong

There are many party and wedding themes that I have seen done successfully and memorably.   Here is a list some of these themes and some possible music choices to elevate the themed decor and food to an event everyone will remember.

• Winter Wonderland Theme: Wedding reception band in white tuxedos and the singer in a while gown with crystals.  You could add winter themed songs in as well.  Have the band bring a snow machine for special effect.
• Christmas Theme: String Quartet, Carolers or Brass Quintet performing holiday favorites in Norman Rockwell style carolers outfits or simply in tuxes with red bow ties. Add Santa Claus hats for fun.
• Spring Theme: With a flower filled room have a little tongue in cheek fun with a flower power band playing music or the 70’s.
• Roaring 1920’s: A lush 1920’s society orchestra or band, decked out in costume, playing the lush beautiful sounds for dinner and then roaring it up with dixieland music for the party.
• Sock Hop: 1950’s band in costume poodle skirts, greased back hair and rolled up jeans.
• Mardi Gras:  New Orleans Dixieland Band in traditional New Orleans Parade Costume or bright mardi gras outfits.  Make sure they bring the beads!  It’s great to have the band process in or parade your crowd from the ceremony to the reception or from cocktails to the dinner location.
• Beach Wedding Theme: Have musicians in Hawaiian shirts, dresses and leis.  The reception band can incorporate Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffet, calypso and other tropical songs,  Add steel drums for that Caribbean resort feel.
• Western: County Western band for the reception and a solo guitarist/singer for the ceremony.
• Medieval/Renaissance; Medieval/Renaissance music played on authentic instruments from the time period by musicians dressed in period costume.
• Cultural Weddings:  There are musicians that perform traditional or modern music from every country available.
• Princess: Nothing sets a more royal tone than fanfares performed on long fanfare Trumpets.
• Las Vegas: Wow your guests with a real Las Vegas style show and if you are looking for something on the lighter or humorous side, how about a singing Elvis at the ceremony?
• Masquerade: A string orchestra playing waltzes and songs for ballroom dancing while wearing costumes and masks will set the stage for your guests.
• New York Club: A jazz combo or a full big band playing swing music and of course the song “New York, New York”.

Whatever theme you pick you can find the right party or wedding music in Orlando.  Remember to pick your theme very early in your planning so it will be easier to include in invitations, decor, party favors and the menu.  Good luck and have fun with it.
