All about Strings Attached and Music for a Wedding - Why have live music? | Welcome to the very first MusicForaWedding podcast from Will Taylor and Strings Attached. I am Will Taylor and I am here with my wonderful assistant Amanda Cevallos. Hey Amanda! Amanda: Hello. Will Taylor: And this is the first podcast to help you figure out the music for your wedding and all the ins and outs you want to make this fun and if you have any questions for us, send an email to Will@WillTaylor.com and put in the subject field ‘Wedding music podcast’ to anything you want to know. We’d love to help you out, love to hear from you. Just send us an email toWill@WillTaylor.com, any question you have about wedding music. Today’s main topic, this is our first podcast and we are just going to talk about the role of music in a wedding. Why should we have music anyway in a wedding? What makes it important in a wedding? But before we get to that I want to tell you a little bit about myself and about Amanda. Since 1989 I have helped couples realize their wedding music dreams and I have played the violin, viola and guitar professionally in the Austin area for over 24 years, including 20 years with the Austin Lyric Opera orchestra. With my group Strings Attached I have worked with artists like Bob Schneider, Shawn Colvin, P Diddy, _______[1:55], Tish Hinojosa, Carolyn Wonderland, Gary Clark Jr. - we bring a lot of experience to the table in helping the couples figure out what they want for their wedding. Amanda Cevallos went to college at the University of Montana where she studied dance choreography and performance as well as entertainment management at the U of M School of Business. In 2009 she came back to Texas where she was raised and in March 2010 she joined the team at Will Taylor and Strings Attached. Your musical event planning needs are her first priority. She knows the ins and out of the Strings Attached repertoire built over our 20-year history in the business. But she also has her finger on the pulse of what’s current and popular culture, which makes her an ideal booking agent and a facilitator. So welcome Amanda. I am so glad to have her here. She has been with us for over an year now. I think we have a really great thing going on and she has a lot to turn in on and I am just going to invite her to interrupt me when appropriate. Let me talk about music and let me share a few quotes: “Music is the shorthand of emotion” – Leo Tolstoy. “Music is what feelings sound like. Music is the universal language of mankind” – Longfellow. So what is the role of music at a wedding? When you think of a wedding ________[3:22] that is kind of like planning a major life event, in a way it’s like a movie production or producing a play. It’s not unlike that. This is an event that’s going to happen one time in your life and what would it be like if you went to see a play or a movie and there is no music accompanying it? It’s just people talking to each other. From my standpoint it might not have as much emotional impact and for me the role of music at a wedding is to help the emotional impact. A wedding is very emotional experience. So music can help the emotion be experienced more deeply by not just the couple but all the people that are attending, and that’s one thing to remember is that as you are planning your wedding, this is for your family and your friends as much for them as it is for you and you want them to have this memorable emotional experience. Now for most people it’s also a religious experience and music is a big part of the emotional impact of spirituality. So it’s like setting the scene. It’s a soundtrack for a grand production that you are planning. So I’d like to ask you to think in your mind and visualize the scene, like a scene in a movie. What is your soundtrack going to sound like? At this point it might be nice just to talk about one of the pa | 12/26/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Please send your letters to Will@WillTaylor.com. *****Will Taylor: All right, I am here with Ms. Keri Wootton, wedding planning extraordinaire, wonderful person that she is, right here in the room with me and we are going over funny stories from our wedding history. Basically what I am trying to encourage people out there to do is to trust in your vendors and trust in their experience. They have probably done a few more weddings and organized all of the minutiae a few more times than the client has. Do yourself a favor and listen to us. So here are a few examples of things that have happened:“Why? Why? Tell me this, I have to know, do people plan outdoor weddings in Texas? It’s not fair to the guests, okay? In 101 degree weather…”, and I see this happen all the time. I am setting outside; I deal with it all. I will go with my tux and set up in the shade but then I see these elderly folks coming in off the bus and they are in their 60s or 80s and maybe they have a little couple of fans to pass out, but still, how do they convince their planner that they are going to do? “Oh, it’s only going to be 20 minutes outside. The ceremony is only going to happen 20 minute…”Keri Wootten: I have one couple who is getting married July 23rd at Star Hill Ranch on Amy Arbor. The arbor itself is covered for them but their guests are all sitting out in sun. I said, “We can do this”, and this is a couple that’s on a budget I said, “We are going to do this but we are going to have the EMS on sight”. Will Taylor: Well that’s good, yeah. Keri Wootten: What we actually did was we went out to Star Hill Ranch on a Thursday evening at the same time in which their wedding was going to be, to see what the wind was like, see what the breeze was like and we waited from 6:30 to 7:30. Guest invitation said 6:30; we waited until 7:30. At 7:30 it was actually quite lovely and it was okay and where this arbor was, they actually made a believer out of me. So we did and I have actually been talking to Adam from Star Hill every day, “How was your wedding last weekend? How were the guests? It was hot…” and we are also going to have a lemonade bar at the ceremony site. Will Taylor: Awesome, okay.Keri Wootton: So lemonade and cold drinks – they are going to cocktail hour since the invitation is at 6:30 and it will really start at 7:00. We are going to have them in this shaded area to have lemonade, relax inside with air-conditioning and then we are going to take them out right before the ceremony.Will Taylor: Okay.Keri Wottoon: If you are going to insist on an outside ceremony you have got to talk to your professionals and if you are going to have a musician or a cameraman, you have got to make sure you provide them the shade, not just for their bodies but for their instruments,. I had a chat with Will Taylor and he told me, “Gosh, my instrument’s $80,000.00”, who knew that an instrument can cost that much?Will Taylor: & | 12/26/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
