Planning a wedding is not always easy. In fact, rarely is it “easy”. When I was a bride, the best and most reliable way that I found my florist, hair and makeup artist, photographer, etc. etc. was all through referrals and other vendors!
There are a few things that I would change about my wedding if I could go back and do it again. Not that I didn’t have a beautiful wedding day and I am so grateful for how lovley it was and how much help I had from friends and family. But now that I have been to over 75+ weddings, I can say that I have learned a thing or two about them. I know now how important you wedding music can be. It truly sets the mood of your reception and celebration! If you want people to get out on the dance floor and party, you are going to want a DJ or live band and not just an ipod on shuffle with a few top 40 hits.
This last month, I got to shoot with my friend Brooke Bakken at one of her weddings. (It will be on the blog soon.) The wedding was tucked in the hills of Park City and was full of charm. All of the music for the day was provided by Conn Curran. I have known about Conn for a while and was thrilled to see him and his band mates at the wedding. During the ceremony, the bride walked down the aisle as they sang. During cocktail hour, they captivated the guests and by time the dancing rolled around, everyone was ready to get on the feet! As the night progresses, they put down the instruments for all out DJ-ing.
They truly are the perfect group to add a beautiful elegance and jazz feel to any event.
You can go to their website to see more videos of them singing and at a variety of functions. You can’t go wrong with these guys and will recognize a lot of current songs being covered with a fabulous Conn Curran jazzy twist.
