Music sets the tone and atmosphere of your wedding so it is important to get it right. We suggest having music available from the moment guests arrive until the last song on the dance floor. Below are a few hints and tips to help you plan your Music.
How is music played during the ceremony?
We ask that music is provided on a phone or music device, music must not require an internet connection and be downloaded. You will need:
Guest arrival music : Approx 30 songs
Walking down the aisle: 1 song
Signing of the register: 5 songs
Recessional (exit music): 1 song
We also suggest some music to be played before and after the ceremony. If you are unsure about what music to select, talk with your chosen performers.
For song ideas, take a look at The Best 100 Wedding Songs of All Time.
Bands
Live Bands are permitted from our recommended list ONLY. The maximum sound limit is 90 DB and they must plug into our sound limiter. Live bands must have an electric drum kit to meet our sound requirements. All electrical equipment must be Portable Appliance Tested (PAT) and they must have the relevant public liability insurance which must be sent to the venue at least 4 weeks prior to your wedding.
All bands will be asked to complete the Music and Agreement form which must be send back to Hayne House as soon as possible.
Please refer to our INFORMATION FOR LIVE PERFORMERS AND DJS
Dance floors/Uplighters
If you are looking to hire a dance floor or add some colour lights to your wedding, this can be arranged through your DJ.
We recommend not having a dance floor due to the size of the area, however if you choose to have a dance floor, this must be laid on the morning prior to your ceremony in order to allow plenty of time and to avoid any interruption during dinner service and speeches.
If you want to have dry ice please organise with the DJ, sadly water based and smoke machines are not permitted as it trips off the fire alarms.
