<p>Hiring a jazz band, solo violinist, or brass quartet can provide lovely background ambience without any electronics needed. A singer will have access to a battery powered microphone too. This approach creates a classy atmosphere for your occasion.</p>

<p>Chat with your venue about positioning speakers in the windows, you could always have a DJ play at a large open window and direct the speakers towards your cocktail area. As a bonus this 'out of the way' position leaves your beautifully styled cocktail party clean of cords and equipment!</p>

<p>Hi--great question. It's important to have mood music, but I don't think you should sweat this too much! It's not vital, you can definitely go without it and make things a bit quieter/easier conversation for guests. I wouldn't worry about it, either way you're fine!</p>

<p>I'm still undecided about what music I want at the wedding but I know I want there to be <a href="http://www.functioncentral.co.uk/blog/2016/05/5_reasons_book_string_quartet_wedding/" target="_blank">string musicians</a> there. I really want music to be playing from the moment the first guest arrives until I'm leaving the venue with my husband (Squeeeeeel!) but I haven't booked anything yet.

If that's the case reception music will be the first to go as that's when everyone's drinking and chatting anyway so no one really pays attention to live music at that point.

Cocktail music is totally up to you. If you cannot have anything plugged in, how about having a harpist. Very romantic, beautiful, and calming music.

Llive musicians are really nice, but IMO not worth the expense. I even struggled with having live musicians for my ceremony, but caved on this because it fit within our budget.Many people commented on how nice it was and what a classy ambiance it brought to the reception.

I see your problem. Pianos are very difficult to move, have to be re-tuned after, etc. But you could hire a different artist (harp players are always welcome, and travel with their own instrument) and if there is a musical school near you, students are glad for the chance to play very cheaply.

It's not necessary, but if you really want it, try and hire a string quartet or someone to play acoustic guitar! Those don't necessarily need amps!

All classical groups like the flute, violin and cello trio etc sound best if not amplified anyway. When we do flute and guitar outside, our guitarist brings a battery amp.
