AWARD-WINNING WEDDING RECEPTION MUSIC ‘BLUEPRINT’ (BP ALL-STARS)

We boast a simple yet effective award-winning wedding reception music formula that has served Brides & Grooms of Adelaide for over a decade. The music during the initial hours is low-key and in the background creating a warm mood and pleasant ambience as guests arrive, throughout pre-dinner drinks, dinner and amongst your formalities (i.e. speeches etc). Subsequent to the Bridal Waltz and for the last hour or so (once the alcohol usually has oozed-in and as the Bridesmaids kick off their high-heels) the band will raise the volume level a few decibels and perform more up-beat party-like songs to get everyone up on the dance floor and create an ultimate high to conclude the wedding! Does this sound like the kind of format that you’re going to be after?
