How to Perform Music at a Wedding Ceremony | Tips for Musicians
Today’s video has tips on performing as a musician at a wedding ceremony - there is also advice on sound checking by yourself, dealing with bad weather, reacting in the moment, performing for small crowds, and onstage banter/crowd management. I know it can be daunting the first few times so hopefully my experience and advice can help you out!
The advice is alongside vlog footage of a 2 wedding day, where I was performing at a wedding ceremony + champagne/drinks reception (welcome drinks), then an evening wedding performance. This includes travel footage as well as time lapses of load ins and PA system setups.

Welcome to my channel! Hopefully this video will do a good job of explaining what’s to come. Don’t panic if this initial video hasn’t grabbed your attention - the meat and potatoes will come in the main uploads. Please subscribe and give us a chance will ya? 😉 Making this video has made me able to put into words what the current 3 goals of this channel are: 1. To be informative, useful, and edu...
Great video thanks mate. Doing my first wedding in a few weeks and there were definitely a lot of things I hadn't even thought in your video.
This is gold, thank you!
This is a great video, thanks for the advice!
😅Well done, first Video I've seen where the presenter doesnt keep running on, you've got it just right. Thanks alot. Dave.
Great video mate, love the way you did the video. I think you should keep it up as it will be very useful for other musos!
Helpful information. But what if I'm in a band that has a genre (alternative/post punk) and we do covers and originals? A lot of this information isn't applicable.
I am not a professional musician, but I do play the odd gig here and there at small festivals that I'm working at in a separate capacity. Two close friends asked me if I'd play the music for their wedding and, delighted, I agreed. I am so excited and they aren't asking for anything huge as it is a small ceremony, but I want to make sure everything is sorted easily so I can make it a good quality performance and I've never done anything like this before. I'm 3.05 in to your video and the tip about setting up shelter is already an enormous help. Thank you so much for this video, I am going to make the most of the rest of it now!
Yes, please do a video on set lists by genre. We do Wagon Wheel and 16th Avenue. ⭐️
Very helpful, thanks!
So useful! Thank you so much for the insight ☺️
I am new at being a solo acoustic musician, first year out with a possible wedding gig coming up. Thank you for the advice.
got a wedding ceremony in a couple hours. Thank you for the tips!
Hey I just wanna say man I've watched all of your videos now and they have been helping me in finding the little things that no one talks about about gigs thanks for making these and I want to see you post more amazing content
Hey Phil, good stuff on your channel. Wish you had more content up here. You’re informative and pleasant: hard to find in this niche of RUclips helps. Cheers!
Thank you so much for all the practical advice!! Very helpful
Really loved these videos. Provided great insight on gigging smaller venues for a beginner. Would really love for you to come back and make videos, friend.
really solid video i personally found it very helpful as and aspiring musician👍🏻
I think your channel will be a success!
couple of tips right back atcha - don't sit down! this is rockanroll, not bach. throw away the music stand - you wouldn't go to a play with actors reading a script, learn the songs!
I agree. I don't like to sit down but I do use an iPad. I agree with you as far as knowing a song by heart. It's good because it frees up energy for spontaneity in your performance which allows you to try things musically as well engaging the crowd more.
Meh…do what works for you and don’t worry about what other people are doing.
I very rarely write out a set list. I prefer to read the room and react accordingly.
Using an iPad, my repertoire is exponentially expanded. It’s a trade off I’m happy to make - especially since I work 60+ hours per week and don’t have all day to memorize every song. I have a great voice and can play songs fluently with the help of an iPad, so that’s what works for me.
Very interesting. Maybe split the videos in several parts. Most people don’t seem to have the time / patience to watch this in one go…
Great content! Keep it going!
Bro, what kinda of car are you driving? Thats a tiny car for gigging guitarist!
Great tips!
Good tips 🤙 thanks bro. But I think your driving on the wrong side of the road ! 😅
ty for this
Hi
One of my best memories....I played a wedding for a Hungarian family (I think). The hook was, they wanted me to M.C. the entire reception. Introductions of the ""New Mr. and Mrs. Macdshgsdfihablehgdsjchbwejkfwqgflkewhfwblifhwbfliwufli!" It took me all day to learn how to pronounce everyone's names. There wasn't a single Bob or Tom in the bunch. So....When I finished the introductions I got a standing ovation! I only do wedding for Smith's and Jones's now! Great video, Thank you!!
"Pennies"!!!! Catchy!!!! Thanks for the video.
Nice gig my friend! Can you tell me de model of you speakers?
This is all super great and helpful stuff. One suggestion though... Separate your VLOG and tips videos. The tips would be more helpful as a laundry list, and you can still use your b-roll from you VLOG with the tips videos. You also end up with more content that way. :-)
Should have said as a "quick" laundry list... Like a minute per tip.
I think that video about ubiquitous songs or even “songs for X situation” 👍🏼
Very insightful!! I'm keen to get into my music stuff with busking and birthdays. I'd find it really great if we saw more of these!! Keep up the good work mate!

Where’s your tip jar at the 3 gigs I’ve watched so far? I realize it’s a paid gig, but won’t they let you also put out a tip jar? 😮
Good luck with this channel my friend! I personally would love to see a vlog of a gig!
