Does Music Really Make A Difference?

One of the most common questions posed to our Maui wedding coordinators is... "Does music really make a difference?" The reply is always a resounding... "Yes!" Wedding coordinators have a lot of experience on which to draw... some do more than two or three weddings a day here on Maui! Here are some of their comments...

"I feel music is the greatest tool we have for creating mood and ambience. It adds romance and elegance. It lifts the ceremony out of the ordinary, beyond just words, and makes it something much more special... expressing so wonderfully where mere words fail."

"Songs that have special meaning to the bride and groom can bring back loving memories of times and places they have shared together!"

"All of our couples have always been so glad that they had music. It adds atmosphere, and extends the ceremony. Those couples that didn't have music almost always reply that they wish they had."

"They have come so far, the music is such a small fraction of the cost of their trip compared to how greatly it impacts their ceremony and their memories!"

"Sometimes, arranging and traveling to the wedding can be very stressful. That "special mood" has sometimes slipped away by the time the ceremony begins. Live music soothes, relaxes and creates just the right ambience and mood of your choosing."

"Many couples say that music helps them to relax and refocus... the ministers love it because it fills in the natural pauses around the vows and ring exchange."

"Music creates and enhances a romantic atmosphere and makes a connection that bridges words with emotions."

"Live music, after the vows and ring exchange, adds a poignancy to the ceremony, a time to emotionally reflect with each other. A couple's "special song" can bring them back to when they first met, first danced together and first kissed. Music offers an emotion that cannot be expressed in words."

"Some couples choose their own special song(s) and that adds even more romance. Having the conch shells blown at the beginning of the ceremony or at the kiss, is even more of a treat. It adds that 'chicken-skin' feeling to the ceremony."

"Music is important because it transports us to an inner place. It touches our hearts and allows us to relax and rejoice. The bride and groom can choose the songs that will most bring the desired effect for them."

The Impact Of Music...

The overwhelming reply is that music so greatly impacts the moment, it is disappointing to participate in a wedding and/or reception without it!

Would you go to a movie, or watch a TV show, without any music background or songs being played at all? Probably not. A great example of the impact of music during a heightened emotional experience (like getting married) can be seen on the TV series, Ally McBeal. Especially in the midst of very emotional scenes, slow pop songs are played. The intensity increases dramatically with music.

That is because music, our favorite music, touches us very deeply at our core.

Maui offers an exceptional variety of musical talent. Our Valley Isle is known for the many hundreds of musical artists from almost every style of music. Choose a Maui musician, and your very special day can be enhanced tremendously. Most wedding couples' reply to their ceremony and reception that has been filled with music is... "It was more than I ever imagined!"
