Why should clients think about hiring live music for their special event?
When it comes to setting the tone for a wedding or special event, nothing beats live music. A high-quality live performance’s spirit and energy elicit an emotional response. A carefully curated playlist and the right Bali wedding band ensemble are essential for creating a truly special and memorable event.
How long have you and your band been performing in Bali?
I am a professional vocalist and the lead singer for Silaen Music, originally from North Sumatra, Indonesia. Since 2007, we have performed for hundreds of wedding receptions and special events at many of Bali’s top venues in Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Seminyak, Canggu, and Ubud.
Why was Silaen Music chosen to perform at several of Bali’s most prestigious weddings, some of which received international media attention?
We are extremely grateful to have gained an international following through the efforts of some truly incredible event planners and to have been invited to perform at some high-profile destination wedding events here in Bali. Aside from performing, I really enjoy getting to know our clients. For their Bali weddings and special events, clients and planners alike frequently prefer a boutique-style live performance. To reflect the style of the event and the client’s musical tastes, the team and I work hard to personalize each performance, from selecting the right ensemble and sound system to curating a playlist and special requests.
Are you able to adapt your performance and collaborate with clients who may lack event planning experience?
Live performances can be very technical, and many of our clients don’t understand all of the technical details, which is fine. We provide personal assistance in navigating the technical aspects of sound systems and lighting, ranging from an intimate acoustic trio to a full Bali band with drums. Silaen Music is a professional team that you can count on to provide a memorable performance on your special day, whether it’s a strings ensemble for a black tie event or an acoustic trio for an intimate wedding reception. We are happy to share our insights and offer suggestions based on our experience performing live at hundreds of Bali weddings and special events.
