Romantic Surprise Ideas with Musical Serenades
You are planning a perfect romantic surprise or romantic evening. Maybe it’s a birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day or the day of your proposal. Hiring musicians for a romantic surprise in Orlando can make your night, a night, you both will always remember. Hiring musicians to play a romantic serenade will set the tone for the evening or be the big finish with musical romantic surprise.
Personalize romantic surprise serenades for the maximum effect
Coordinating the music to be a wonderful romantic surprise creates a huge impact for romantic serenades. Music Remembrance has created the most impactful surprises for years in Orlando for singing telegrams, music telegrams and romantic serenades by collecting details from our clients. We personalize the surprise in every way. Personalizing the music, personalizing the attire/costume, personalizing the surprise. Here are some examples that will give you some ideas for yours:
Romantic Birthday Serenade
For one birthday, we coordinated with the restaurant and had our guitarist/singer pretend he was strolling and performing for the restaurant. He came out to the private patio with the birthday girl and pretended he was performing there next. He said “How would you like a little Michael Buble?” This was her favorite singer. He stated to sing “It’s a Beautiful Day” (her favorite song). She was smiling and singing along. We rewrote the lyrics for the last sections of the song. We changed the words to “It’s your birthday.” and the rest of the verse described how this was a surprise gift from her daughter. The mother started to cry and the daughter who couldn’t be with her on her birthday had a video of the whole thing in a few minutes.
Romantic Surprise Proposal
For a romantic surprise proposal, a singer and guitarist came out at the soon-to-be fiance’s favorite restaurant performing a song that described their love, just as she got down on one knee. We coordinated with the restaurant who sat down champagne glasses seconds before we walked out.
Sending Romance Across The Miles
For a birthday we chose and opera singer for an opera fan. His fiance was in another country and couldn’t be there for his birthday. First, she called him first thing in the morning to say Happy Birthday” just as we showed up and knocked on his door. Second, when he opened the door the vocalist sang “Happy Birthday” operatic style. The singer included his fiance’s name in the song so that he knew it was from her. Lastly, to heighten the impact, we had a cake with his name on it and personalized balloons in the singer’s hand. In addition, She got to see the whole thing because we filmed it for her.
Consider personalizing the romantic surprise with these ideas:
- What is your recipient’s favorite instrument? If they have one, then request that!
- What is their favorite kind of music? Whether it’s country or classical choose instruments that play that kind of music and musicians that play it. Remember that with romantic music serenades in Orlando, the sky’s the limit. In Orlando, you may hire musicians on all instruments of any style. Orlando has everything from an opera singers, guitarists, violinists to dixieland and marching bands.
- Do they have a favorite song? Then have that performed as a personal romantic surprise.
- Do the two of you have a “our song”. Of course, request that it be performed.
- If using a singer, would your recipient prefer that you chose a female or male singer to serenade them?
- If they have a favorite singer you can often get an impersonator e.g. Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra
- If you are using a special kind of music have the musicians dress the part. The sky’s the limit here. For example,
Over the rainbow on ukulele, have them wear a Hawaiian outfit
German music, lederhosen and dirndl dresses
Birthday music, birthday hats and balloons
Punk Rock song, punk rock outfit
1980’s song, 1980’s outfit

Great Party and Wedding Themes
Parties and weddings with a theme can be so spectacular and memorable. A themed event can set a tone of fun, majesty, or opulence.
When using a party or wedding theme, music can play an important role. Thematic music can elevate your theme to another level and really make the event memorable. Since you are going to have music anyway, thematic music can also save money in decor, special food, etc., by setting the mood with music. (We can help!)
After selecting a party or wedding theme, think about all the different choices of music ensembles, costumes and songs that you can incorporate. Orlando has unlimited choices for party and wedding musicians. If you combine themed music with a beautiful room and food you can’t go wrong
There are many party and wedding themes that I have seen done successfully and memorably. Here is a list some of these themes and some possible music choices to elevate the themed decor and food to an event everyone will remember.
- Winter Wonderland Theme: Wedding reception band in white tuxedos and the singer in a while gown with crystals. You could add winter themed songs in as well. Have the band bring a snow machine for special effect.
- Christmas Theme: String Quartet, Carolers or Brass Quintet performing holiday favorites in Norman Rockwell style carolers outfits or simply in tuxes with red bow ties. Add Santa Claus hats for fun.
- Spring Theme: With a flower filled room have a little tongue in cheek fun with a flower power band playing music or the 70’s.
- Roaring 1920’s: A lush 1920’s society orchestra or band, decked out in costume, playing the lush beautiful sounds for dinner and then roaring it up with dixieland music for the party.
- Sock Hop: 1950’s band in costume poodle skirts, greased back hair and rolled up jeans.
- Mardi Gras: New Orleans Dixieland Band in traditional New Orleans Parade Costume or bright mardi gras outfits. Make sure they bring the beads! It’s great to have the band process in or parade your crowd from the ceremony to the reception or from cocktails to the dinner location.
- Beach Wedding Theme: Have musicians in Hawaiian shirts, dresses and leis. The reception band can incorporate Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffet, calypso and other tropical songs, Add steel drums for that Caribbean resort feel.
- Western: County Western band for the reception and a solo guitarist/singer for the ceremony.
- Medieval/Renaissance; Medieval/Renaissance music played on authentic instruments from the time period by musicians dressed in period costume.
- Cultural Weddings: There are musicians that perform traditional or modern music from every country available.
- Princess: Nothing sets a more royal tone than fanfares performed on long fanfare Trumpets.
- Las Vegas: Wow your guests with a real Las Vegas style show and if you are looking for something on the lighter or humorous side, how about a singing Elvis at the ceremony?
- Masquerade: A string orchestra playing waltzes and songs for ballroom dancing while wearing costumes and masks will set the stage for your guests.
- New York Club: A jazz combo or a full big band playing swing music and of course the song “New York, New York”.
Whatever theme you pick you can find the right party or wedding music in Orlando. Remember to pick your theme very early in your planning so it will be easier to include in invitations, decor, party favors and the menu. Good luck and have fun with it.
