How Live Music Transforms Your Wedding Ceremony

from Shoot the Vows · host Shoot the Vows

What happens when a musician shows up to a fairy-tale forest wedding and just... plays? You get the kind of ceremony that gives guests chills before the couple even reaches the altar. In this episode, we sit down with Kylie Brown, a multi-instrumentalist and wedding musician based in Ithaca, New York, to talk about why live music might be the most underrated thing missing from your wedding day. We're sitting down with Kylie Brown of Metasequoia to talk about how she went from playing Zelda songs on her flute as a kid to performing at weddings across New York and the Hudson Valley, and why live music hits completely different than a playlist ever could. We're getting into: -The real difference between hiring a live musician and a DJ -Why guests literally feel live music in a way recorded music can't replicate -How to find a performer who actually has the "it factor" -What live music for your wedding ceremony and cocktail hour actually costs (it's more affordable than you think) -Video game music at weddings and why it's having a major moment -Live music for proposals and why it's the ultimate move -Kylie's funniest on-the-fly wedding story -If you're a bride, a groom, or just someone who wants their wedding to feel like a real experience and not a playlist on shuffle, this one's for you. 🔔 Subscribe and drop your questions or topic requests in the comments below! 🎵 Find Kylie Brown: 🌐 https://www.kyliebmusic.com/weddings 📸 https://www.instagram.com/kyliebmusic 🌐 shootthevows.com 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5gdQT05rvXeV4dc9cUBSaz 🎙️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shoot-the-vows/id1850468898 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shootthevows
