Let Your Heart Sing with Strings

February 18th, 2012

I remember growing up with Irish music, especially the Irish fiddle. My Dad was a shy, homebody gentleman. He would only perform in the house for his family and a few select friends and relatives who may be around to share a “boilermaker” and swap a gig or reel on a Sunday afternoon. From memory, my Dad could play-  for hours – tunes that he picked up in the “Old Country” from legendary recording artists like John Coleman and Jackie Roach.  He heard when he was coming of age in county Leitrim, Ireland and when he arrived in New York in 1932.

I love representing great musicians in the Atlanta area but I have to admit that  the string people are closest to my heart. Our string people are dedicated professionals who play the printed page with practiced a sensitivity.  And, this is what you want. The Blue Sky String Trio is such a group superlative classical wedding musicians.  If you are looking for Atlanta wedding string musicians, this one is your answer.  The group consists of cello, viola and violin.  A second violin can be (added to make a quartet).

With referrals like these

February 8th, 2012

In this world you can’t have enough people talking about you or referring others to you. I guess the world can come up with the Apple T.V., the next new tablet or whatever else is currently on the communications horizon but word-of-mouth will still and always will be the very best advertising.  103 West, part of the Buckhead Restaurants in Atlanta is an example of a wonderful venue that recommends and sends their clients to Blue Sky Atlanta Music & Entertainment for the live music and DJs.  We can’t thanks them enough for all they have done for us over the years.  Please consider them for your venue.

Pianists and other soloists such as string trios or Jazz trios, quartets and harpists are always in big demand for our brides. This season will be no different.  We enjoy the benefit of longevity in the business building trust with our clients.  We always tell people that if you are up on our web pages, we think so very highly of you as a performer and it is likely that our clients will too. It’s so rewarding when a client helps take the stress off a friend and steers him or her towards our company.

All you need is…Great Music

January 12th, 2012

The word “Love” is one of those much bandied about the English lexicon.  However, it is really nice to see real examples of love, compassion and kindness – virtually, in the air at many of our special events.  Such is the case with most of our Atlanta weddings I have had the pleasure of performing at or being a part of the “plugging in” just the right musical performers or wedding DJs for our brides.  And, at these events, you’ll see people at their best – dressed in their Sunday best outfits and generally as happy as clams.

All you have to do is bring a good attitude and the Atlanta wedding dance band or Atlanta Wedding DJ will do the rest providing the alpha waves.  From the Bagpiper to the Cellist – from the Harpist to the DJ, everything has to “click” and attitude is everything.  I always say that even if your big toe is paining you that day, you should only one who will know it.!

Utilize the skills of a good talent coordinator and you will have a big portion of the event taken care of.  The performers will be proven, tried and true professionals that you will be able to count on delivering on your wedding day.  We practically take orders on our performers these days in concierge fashion.  Our clients do not have to worry about any horror story they may have heard about as we put their mind at ease from the jump.

Hear The Band Again.

December 13th, 2011

You’ve got a bead on a good band that you may have heard about or you saw at that wedding reception you attended last year (but you weren’t quite paying all that much attention to them then).  Now you’re seriously shopping around and you and your fiance want see and hear them again  ”live”.  O.k., you call your friend and find out more about them and you call them.  What do you do now?

  • Find out who the band’s agent or leader is and contact them.
  • Ask where they are performing next that may be an event similar to yours.
  • They will get permission from the venue AND the client.
  • Once you get the green light to attend, dress to “blend in” with the other guests.
  • Don’t stay long.
  • Remember that the Band or DJis there for THAT client and may be doing exactly what is expected of them at the very time you are there.

This is not a good time to engage the band’s members or the leader with questions.  It is best to save that for the following week on the phone so that they have your undivided attention.  In all likelihood, they will be happy to sit down with you and go over all your plans and time line specifics once you agree to engage them.

Engagement season is in full swing now and so line up your wedding entertainment today for 2012!  Call Blue Sky Atlanta Music & Entertainment 770 457 1955. Or, if you prefer, fill out the Request  A Quote Form.  Our salespeople are standing by to assist you.
