Drinks Receptions and what to expect

What to Expect from Laura Seymour Violin During a Wedding Drinks Reception

A live string performance is a wonderful way to enhance your wedding drinks reception, creating a delightful and elegant atmosphere for your guests. Whether you envision a sophisticated mood with classical repertoire or want to set a lively tone with popular hits, my music will provide the perfect backdrop to complement this special part of your day.

Tailoring Your Playlist

I’m here to help you craft the perfect playlist for your drinks reception! My recommendation is to include a mix of genres, such as modern pop, classic hits, and perhaps even some jazz. This variety ensures there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

How much music will you need?

I typically perform around eight pieces per half hour, so this will give you a sense of how many selections are required based on the length of your reception.

Performance Breaks

During the drinks reception, I usually perform for 45–50 minutes before taking a short break. If your reception is longer, I’ll coordinate with you to ensure the performance schedule aligns seamlessly with your event timeline.

Special Requests

If you’d like a song that isn’t on my repertoire list, let me know! If an arrangement already exists, I’ll source it for you. Otherwise, I’d be delighted to create a bespoke arrangement for a fee of £60.00 per piece.

When to Finalize Your Music Choices

You don’t need to rush your decisions. However, if you’re considering a bespoke arrangement, please let me know as soon as possible to allow ample time for preparation. I usually ask for at least a month's notice to rehearse your selections and ensure they integrate perfectly with your overall set list. Don’t worry—I’ll be in touch to guide you through the timeline.

Enjoy the Process

With so many beautiful pieces to choose from, curating your drinks reception playlist should be a fun and exciting part of your wedding planning. If you need any guidance or suggestions, I’m here to help. I can’t wait to hear your ideas and bring your vision to life!

Warm regards,

Laura Seymour Violin 🎻
