andrew ohren at a wedding

-Weddings

The music is a vital part of your wedding day. Weddings traditionally have pre-ceremony music as the guests arrive, which sets the mood for the ceremony. The start of the ceremony is signaled by music announcing the entrance of the wedding party. There are often separate themes for the groom's side, the bride's side and of course the bride. Many people choose to have special music during the ceremony, to provide moments of reflection. At the end there is normally a celebratory recessional as the new couple leaves the ceremony venue. Every wedding is unique.
Andrew has played at about 500 weddings in the past 10 years and many of the songs he plays at gigs were once requests for wedding music. 

For the reception music, it is again a matter of taste. Some couples like to have background music while the guests are gathering or while eating a meal, before a DJ or dance band takes over. Other's have low key music for the entire event. And still others play there own recorded music in the background at the reception.
Listen to some of Andrew's music above to understand why acoustic guitar is such a popular instrument for weddings. With ten years of experience performing at weddings of varying sizes and styles Andrew can help you select the perfect music for both your ceremony and reception. He has a large repertoire of traditional wedding music as well as contemporary songs for you to select from. With advance notice he can perform almost any requested song. For most venues he is able to provide his own amplification, so that the music can be heard, but is not overwhelming.
