What to do When Hiring Wedding Musicians For a COVID-safe Wedding?

Weddings in Australia during the pandemic have become more and more complicated. However, social gatherings must go on. One must practice socially distanced marriages with fewer guests, ceremonies and revelry. Social distancing is a new concept for musicians who enjoy regularly playing around people, where the COVID-19 outbreak has challenged them to pause and engage in solo work. You don’t need to wait until the pandemic subsides and quarantine lifts to collaborate with musicians.

One of the best things about holding a COVID-19 wedding is that you can have it outdoors instead of booking a community hall. As a result, you’ll enjoy natural ventilation, open air and extra space. On top of that, wedding DJs and wedding music bands find it easier to play in an open setting. Should you choose an indoor venue, confirm the ventilation involved as crowding and poor ventilation increases the risk of transmission. Should you have a sit-down, skip every other seat. Place markings on the floor to maintain an appropriate distance and discourage gatherings at the entrance, toilets, bars and exits.

Even when you’re hiring a wedding band music group, skip the dance and music. This invites aerobic activity, loud vocalization, and close contact with people, contributing to a fresh outbreak. Instead of the regular wine and beer, choose cocktails and mocktails. Even for the wedding musicians, shorter celebrations ensure that there are few poorly-made decisions. Finally, place an identifiable tag on the glasses, which minimizes the risk of people transferring the virus through contaminated glasses.

You must reduce the number of guests at the wedding depending on the venue, setting and other aspects. Though the length and procedure of ceremonies depend on your religious identity, it usually ends with a reception that follows into the night. As a result, wedding DJs must participate in the celebrations as well. Therefore, keep the celebration short and sweet, as the virus transmits faster in confined spaces.

When hiring wedding music bands, please maintain social distancing, use hand sanitizer and stay at home if you have flu-like symptoms. Don’t share utensils and food, so depend on a restaurant-style service. Also, have hand sanitizer dispensers at the entrances, exits and on the dining tables.
