Outdoor Wedding
I live in the Pittsburgh area and we are planning our outdoor wedding at the North Park Lodge in September 2006. Our decorator will not provide any type of set-up for music to be played at the ceremony. What do we do for music at an outdoor wedding? Has anyone else had their wedding at the lodge? Please help!

Hi, I don`t know where you live at all, but I can give you a website that I found that may help you, it is www.weddingmusic.co.uk. I tryed it myself before I wrote this message so it should work for you. If you are having an indoor wedding you need wedding music but if it is a night do you can have pop music or classical music. I hope you have a lovely wedding and enjoy the music!

Out door weddings are great. People can be relaxed and just not feel so up tight. I sugest I great live band so they can enjoy lots of dancing. Makes them remember.......................But no matter what you do I am sure they will love it just have fun...............................

Jennell,
I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh and might recommend posting an ad for a musician at the Pitt music building- it`s at the corner of Bellfield and 5th Ave. If I can be of any help for custom, handmade invitations or other suggestions, please let me know.

An old boyfriend of mine played violin in the Pitt orchestra and he would`ve been happy to help (but has graduated).
I would start by contacting the director Roger Zahab and/or posting flyers. Looks like Roger`s contact info is 412-624-4017
Rzahab@pitt.edu and you can say that a friend of Dan Anderson referred you if you want. Or I would post a flyer on the bulletin board at the entrance to the music building (just inside the building`s doors). If you have certain songs you want to have played or if you`re specifically looking for a solo cellist or quartet, you could list those specifications on your flyer. You could even choose a date and location to have audtions if you wanted and post that on the flyer. Across the bottom of the flyer, be sure to have pull-tags with your name, phone number or email address, and "Wedding Musicians Wanted" or something.
Good luck! Happy to help! If you need invitations check out www.AllYoursInvitations.com
