Music for a garden party

Are you booking music for a garden party and looking for a solution that can give your event just the right atmosphere? At Limunt, we help many private individuals every year to book and put together live music constellations that are perfect for their event. A skilled guitarist, soulful a pianist or atmospheric singer can turn a simple get-together into an unforgettable evening of community and togetherness. We help you create a cosy atmosphere - and make it easy to find the right music for your party.

Create an intimate and cosy atmosphere with live music in the garden

With live music at a garden party, the live sound and musical atmosphere can transform the garden into a warm and inviting scene - whether you're setting the table for dinner or just enjoying a relaxed barbecue. An acoustic guitarist, gentle piano tones from a pianist or a singer with guitar can set the scene for an evening where people feel comfortable and relaxed.

Live music at a garden party is also something that brings guests together. The setting becomes a topic of conversation in itself and forms a focal point for a shared memorable experience. 

We always customise the repertoire according to your guest list - so all generations feel included. The event can be customised so that, for example, there is quiet background music during the meal and more upbeat tones later. You can read more on this site about how we create music for private parties or to a special birthday.

Garden party entertainment - tips for choosing the right music

Choosing the right entertainment for a garden party doesn't have to be difficult. Here are a few tips if you're planning music in the garden:

  • For barbecue music, acoustic music is a popular choice - it allows for conversation and cosiness without drowning out the atmosphere.
  • If you're looking to liven things up later in the evening, a singer with a backing track or a duo can give the party an energy boost.
  • Think about who your guests are. We always adapt the music to your audience and customise the event - whether the audience is families with children, older guests or perhaps a mix of several segments.

A well-crafted music selection is key to creating the right atmosphere. Garden party entertainment can be discreet and atmospheric - or festive and catchy - depending on your wishes. It's also a good idea to consider the occasion of the party. It could be a birthdayA celebration of summer or just a spontaneous occasion to get together - we take that into account at Limunt.

Practical tips for music at outdoor parties

When hosting a garden party, there are a number of practical things to consider to ensure the best possible experience - both for your guests and your neighbours.

Choose the genre according to the party theme and guests

The best choice of music depends on both your guest list and the mood you want for your event. If you have a particular theme, the genre can match and enhance the mood. In dialogue with us, based on your wishes, we can find the perfect singer, pianist or guitarist for you.

Respect for neighbours - sound level and end time

It's important to consider your surroundings when organising a garden party. A good rule of thumb is to inform your neighbours well in advance - either with an actual invitation to the event, or perhaps just to give a little heads-up about the event and during what time they can expect noise.  This gives your neighbours the opportunity to take precautions prior to the event. In relation to this, Samvirke, for example, has written a guide with good advice on how to show consideration and good neighbourliness in relation to garden parties: How to be a good neighbour at the garden party.

It's also important to make sure that the sound isn't too loud and that the party ends in good time. At Bolius you can read more about how to avoid neighbour complaints when hosting a party: Avoid neighbour complaints when you throw a party. When you book through us in Limunt, we'll also advise you on appropriate sound levels and can also help with the technical setup so that the music hits the right note - without being too loud.
