Due to COVID-19, many couples have been opting for elopements or small, intimate weddings, often referred to as “micro weddings” or “minimonies.” These are typically done outdoors with less than 50 people. One way to add instant luxury and romance to your small wedding or elopement is to have great live music. Music not only entertains you and your guests, it will also play a vital role in enhancing the mood or atmosphere on your special day. Here are six live music ideas for your micro wedding or elopement.

Add a touch of romance and international intrigue by hiring Latin guitarists and/or vocalists for your wedding. Bonnie Foster Productions has a spectacular Latin guitar trio with an extensive repertoire, perfect for background music as your guests arrive, during the processional, the ceremony, and the recessional. Our Latin guitar trio is also an excellent choice for setting the tone for a fun yet sophisticated cocktail hour. We also offer Latin vocalists that can perform solo or with a band that are great for salsa, merengue, tango, cumbia, or flamenco dancing; or as background music.

String quartets and string ensembles bring elegance and intimacy to any wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, or wedding reception. Our string musicians can perform both classical pieces and contemporary songs fit to your personality and the mood you want to convey.

Whether you’re having a destination beach wedding or staying local, a steel drum band will bring the energy, fun and whimsy of a Carribean vacation to your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception. Bonnie Foster Productions’ steel drummers are available as solo, duo, trio, or larger bands. Contact us to learn more.

A cappella is a type of singing without instrumental accompaniment, and it’s a wonderful choice for an intimate wedding. Our a capella singers can do classical music, pop music, opera, barbershop vocal harmony, vocal jazz, world music from different languages and cultures, gospel music, doo wop, or any other musical style to fit your wedding.

The piano is one of the most versatile instruments and a great pianist can play any style of music on one. Piano music can be soft and soothing, upbeat, or dramatic and powerful. Our solo pianists are highly accomplished musicians who will bring an elegant portable grand piano that will elevate the style at any wedding.

Nothing will get your wedding guests on the dance floor quite like a live wedding band; and if you have guests that aren’t the dancing type, they will definitely be entertained watching a great wedding band perform. Bonnie Foster Productions has the best live wedding bands in the industry, whether you want a cover band, a jazz band, a salsa band, or a big band dance orchestra with vocalists, brass instruments, pianos, violins, and all the bells and whistles.

A small wedding might not be what you originally envisioned for your special day, but with the help of the right vendors and music, it can still be incredibly romantic and uniquely you.
