What’s inside
Seven things most couples don’t discover
until it’s too late to change them.
Each myth is something I’ve watched trip up real couples at real weddings. None of them are obvious until someone points them out.
- 1 Why two violinists playing the same song sound completely differentHow to tell which one will actually move your guests — before you sign anything.
- 2 The myth that kills more processional moments than any otherIt’s not about the song choice. It’s something almost every couple overlooks.
- 3 The one question to ask any musician before you book themAnd what their answer actually tells you about whether they can deliver.
- 4 Why violin with backing tracks is having a moment right nowWhat it sounds like, and why it feels more cinematic than acoustic strings alone.
- 5 Why your “unusual” song request is probably possibleAnime, film scores, video game themes — and why the right musician will light up, not hesitate.
- 6 How timing works at a ceremony — and what happens when it doesn’tWhat experienced musicians do that inexperienced ones simply can’t fake.
- 7 Why a solo violinist can fill a venue better than a string quartetThe answer has everything to do with what’s changed in live performance over the last decade.
