Married with no Music!

Maria, on October 1, 2023 at 6:11 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 9

We got married in an Orthodox Church and found out last minute that music isn't allowed on church grounds. We hired an awesome Greek pop singer and had a whole tracklist planned for before and after the ceremony, so the whole "vibe" had to change last minute.

Since she couldn't use any backing tracks, the singer performed her whole set without accompaniment. It was awkward at times but her voice was amazingly powerful on its own. We were able to get in a few dances by clapping along to the beat. We just slow danced to her plain vocals. It was an interesting experience and totally not what we planned on but it wasn't totally awful. Weird yes, but not awful.

    Yes she thought it was pretty strange singing without music but it ended up being alright

    Congratulations on your marriage! Not what you planned, obviously, but I’m so glad it worked out. Your singer sounds very professional and really stepped up.

    She was definitely thrown off guard without her accompaniment but she still managed to do a pretty good job. She had a really strong voice and great confidence.

    Glad it worked out! I was curious after your first post. Weddings are weird and complicated things, but it sounds like it went well overall. Smiley smile

    So glad it went fine. I have been wondering how it all worked out! I would have been in shock had I been in your shoes. Congratulations on getting through it and improvising!
