Bringing music into your Montana wedding ceremony will increase enjoyment for everyone and here are the reasons why:
It's long been established that music brings emotion into any event. You can create the atmosphere you desire immediately with the songs you choose. Expressing emotions such as love and joy through music will help everyone connect with your wedding and each other. For the ceremony think of what your theme and ambience is and find the song that moves you and your partner. It's a great way to increase the beauty of your wedding by adding music you love. Here at The River House, riverhousemontana.com we encourage all of our couples to find ways to connect with each other and the beauty only Western Montana can provide.

If you've ever been to an outdoor concert in Montana, you know the music and the natural beauty enhance each other. Having a breathtaking backdrop while listening to music stirs your soul which gives you a perfect setting for an enchanting wedding. Music can take us to a deeper place then just spoken words. Music lights up the entire brain and gives us a sense of connection by invoking deep emotions. It helps people to express themselves particularly when the heart is involved, it bridges the gap of communication with others. Music can help guests and family to understand the depth of your love for each other.

The music can come from your shared experiences and emotional context with each other. If there's a song that represents you both falling in love or an inspirational song of what you mean to each other, it can be worked into your ceremony. Not only does it carry significance to the two of you but it also can offer guests another glimpse into your unique love story.
Having music play during quieter times of the wedding ceremony offers your guests a soothing and relaxing time. Weddings can be so busy and rushed, music can slow it down to help everyone be more mindful of the experience. The songs played will imprint on everyone reminding them of your wedding for years to come.
Live music if chosen can become a more interactive experience through movement, clapping or singing. If you hire professional musicians it will have a elevated event of the blending of a beautiful space and sound. Music during the ceremony also can cover unexpected sounds so a more serene environment can be had.

"Planning a wedding is all about creating moments that feel uniquely yours. One of the most powerful ways to make your ceremony unforgettable is through live music. As a wedding musician, I love collaborating with couples to craft the perfect soundtrack for their ceremony and cocktail reception. Whether it’s performing the song that played on your first date or arranging a fresh take on a tune that holds special meaning, I make it my purpose to bring your vision to life. There is the option of having a DJ simply play a recording of the song, but live music has a uniqueness that cannot be replicated; the performance exists for that one time only. I’ve had the privilege of performing for over 80 weddings, which also means I know how to adapt when the unexpected happens and still deliver a seamless performance. And throughout it all, I stay focused on what matters most—that this day is about you and the love you’re celebrating. What’s great about working with a solo guitarist like me is the flexibility it brings. If there are last-minute changes, I’m quick to adjust and when it comes to logistics, my guitar and I are highly portable which can be useful or even essential at some remote outdoor venues. If you’re looking to add that extra layer of magic to your wedding, I’d love to help create a soundtrack that’s as meaningful and unforgettable as the love you’re celebrating. " Garrett Pelland
