Tip of the Day: There are so many unique instrumentals that you can feature at your cocktail hour! For a bluesy feel, a harmonica player would be perfect. A mandolin is also quite different and a cello is a fresh alternative to a harpist. You could also have them step in for a performance during the reception by playing a crowd-pleasing dual rendition of a classic or unexpected song with your DJ.

If you're having a band, ask if any of the members play multiple instruments. Your extra performance might wind up being part of your already-booked plan.
