Live musicians add a lovely touch to wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, and dinners.  Those that don't need electricity are particularly suited to outdoor ceremonies.  Harpists, pianists, and ensemble groups are all available options depending upon your tastes and budget.  If you have trouble finding a small group that suits you, consider calling Gonzaga or Whitworth University's music departments.  You never know what great student groups might be out there.

Live bands add a lot of flair to wedding receptions.  They do tend to take up a lot of space, however, so coordinate with your facility to make sure there is enough room for your number of guests AND a band before you hire them.  They may also need more set up and take down time than a DJ, so plan accordingly. 

If you decide to hire a Swing or Latin band, consider booking a few private-group dance lessons for your family and friends before the wedding.  This fun activity will give them the confidence to get out there and start the dancing at your reception.
