Live Music for Your Detroit Wedding

Picture your processional beneath the vaulted ceiling of Michigan Central's Grand Hall, or your vows on Belle Isle with the Detroit River behind you. A moment like that deserves music played live, by people who know the room.

Sweet Harmony Music places live musicians at ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions across Metro Detroit, from downtown ballrooms to estates in Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb counties. Our players are local professionals, hand-selected from the Detroit area, and backed by a national team that has run wedding music since 2008.
