How to choose the best music for public events
5 ideas for intimate live music during the wedding dinner | Create the perfect atmosphere during dinner - Limunt
Theme: live music, tips & tricks
When it comes to planning the wedding dinner, music is one of the important details that can really lift the mood and make the experience unforgettable, unique and personalised for both bride and groom and guests. Wedding dinner music isn't about loud volume and dancefloors - during dinner, the focus is on the beautiful, subdued sound that supports the conversations around the tables while adding elegance and warmth.
At Limunt, we have many years of experience providing professional live music for weddings. We know how to create the perfect balance so that the music never overwhelms the guests, but instead becomes a natural part of the dinner atmosphere. Here we share five evocative wedding background music ideas to inspire you to choose the right solution.
1: Pianist as background music during dinner
A pianist creates a classic and elegant atmosphere that is perfect for weddings. The sound of the piano can range from subtle jazz ballads to romantic pop classics and classical pieces. An experienced pianist knows how to adjust the volume and repertoire, reading the room so that the music becomes a beautiful background without dominating.

Plays versatile repertoire (jazz, classical, pop)
With a versatile repertoire, a pianist can, after talking to you, both hit nostalgic notes from your youth or childhood and deliver timeless melodies that create warmth and intimacy.
2: Guitarist with vocals (solo acoustic singer)
A guitarist who also sings creates an intimate and personalised atmosphere. Acoustic wedding music with a solo singer is an ideal choice if you want a more relaxed, bohemian vibe during dinner. The music can be anything from modern singer-songwriter ballads to classics from The Beatles, Tracy Chapman or Danish Kim Larsen.

Romantic atmosphere with soft singing
This solution is perfect if you want live vocals to sneak in between conversations and create a warm and romantic atmosphere.
3: Violinist with classical repertoire
A violinist adds a solemn and refined sound to the wedding dinner. The classical string instrument can play beautiful pieces from Bach and Mozart, but also modern melodies in a classical arrangement. A wedding violinist creates a very special atmosphere and adds a beautiful element to the dinner

Elegant and solemn sound during dinner
The sound of a solo violin creates an almost ceremonial calm that emphasises the importance of the day - perfect for a stylish dinner.
4: Harpist for an adventurous atmosphere
If you dream of an adventurous and almost magical atmosphere, a harpist is an obvious choice. The unique sound of the harp will mesmerise your guests and provide a very special experience during dinner.
Unique harp sound to impress guests
A harpist is both a delight to the ear and a beautiful visual element in the room that will impress guests of all ages. The harp's tones will create a warm atmosphere in the room and contribute to a beautiful, formal dinner.
5: Classical guitarist - instrumental tones
A classical guitarist delivers warm, soft tones that don't interrupt conversations but elegantly blend in as part of the experience. This is a discreet and stylish solution for music during dinner, especially if you want an intimate atmosphere without singing.
Gentle acoustic music that doesn't drown out conversations
With a classical guitarist, you get subdued and tasteful music that supports the dinner without taking the focus away from speeches and chit-chat. A classical guitarist is a beautifully acoustic and melodic choice for your wedding dinner. Hearing popular songs and hits interpreted on classical guitar is a wonderfully authentic experience. This particular instrument can add a personal touch to the dinner, spreading - consciously and subconsciously - a warm, cosy atmosphere where your favourite songs are played in a new, softer sound.
Create atmosphere with professional live music
At Limunt, we work with carefully selected musicians who have experience with weddings and know how to adapt the sound level and repertoire to the flow of the dinner. Our musicians know how to be present without taking the centre of attention - the music becomes a beautiful layer that supports the joy and love that fills the room.

The most frequently asked questions for us!
The name Limunt originated as a contraction of the words Tove Music Entertainment. We have booked music since 2016 through the concepts Jazzkollektivet, Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc., but decided in 2022 to bring the activity under Limunt and create a better coherence and clarity of our many different offers.
We handpick our musicians from the great Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and German talent pool. In the administration, we all have a background as professional musicians in a wide range of genres. Through our large network, the Danish conservatories, jam sessions throughout the country and by constantly keeping a finger on the pulse of the Danish music scene, we can ensure a high level every time. We make a virtue of onboarding each individual musician so that expectations are aligned from the start. The musicians should do what they do best: play great music - then Limunt handles all the administration around each performance.
Payment will fall after your event. You will receive an invoice from our administration.
In most cases, it is possible to extend the playing time if you do not want the music to stop at the agreed time. However, as we only book professional musicians, there may be circumstances where this is not possible, for example if the musicians have another job later in the day, have an early job the next day or a voice that can't cope any longer. If you want to make sure you have the option to book an extra set of music on the day, we recommend that you arrange this with your Limunt contact so that both you and the musicians are aware of the option.
The prices we quote are in most cases inclusive of transport (to land bridges), VAT and engineering (up to 100 people).
We customise each specific offer - booking everything from a single solo musician playing a single song to live music over several days for larger events. Try our price calculator or contact us for a no-obligation quote.
We provide substitutes in case of illness, so you don't lose the music for your event. We have built up good procedures with our many musicians and have an action plan in case of illness. Our large catalogue of musicians means that in almost all cases we can find a talented replacement in a very short time.
It's hard to give a clear answer, as we book solo musicians, traditional party bands and full orchestras of 9-10 people. A traditional band of 3-5 people should have at least 3×4 meters to stand on. A solo musician can manage on 3×2 meters. However, there are many factors that come into play when it comes to space - so it's best to have a chat with your Limunt contact. A concrete example where the above rule does not quite apply is when booking a party band: here we at Limunt always recommend placing the music in the same room as the bar, as this way you gather the activity and the party in one place - and get more people on the dance floor! If there are not quite 3×4 meters to stand on, we still recommend placing the band at the bar, even if the musicians need to sit a little close, to ensure the good party!
Typically in sets of either 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 45 minutes. But it all depends on the function of the music: whether it's background music, a beautiful feature or party music to get the party started. We provide everything from a single heartfelt song for the wedding to music for 10 hours during a larger event.
You are always welcome to make suggestions for the repertoire - that way we get to know your taste and try to include everything possible. However, we cannot guarantee to fulfil all your wishes. We are often in dialogue with customers who are very unsure about the repertoire - and we are here to help. By booking more than 500 jobs annually, we know what works for different events. Our professional musicians are also good at reading the audience on the day, which means that changes can be made to the setlist during the performance.
When booking an event with 1-3 songs for e.g. a wedding, we take a dialogue about what is possible - and in most cases we can meet your wishes.
The jazz concept Jazzkollektivet was what started it all in 2016. Then followed Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc. In 2022 we decided to bring all our concepts and booking together on this new site!
