Karly Jurgensen - Karlyn Music - Live Wedding Music Nebraska

Have you been hoping for something to keep your mind off this
whole Global Pandemic business?


Well, then do we have something for you! For Episode 30 of the
Nebraska Wedding Podcast, Kelly sits down with Karly Jurgensen of
Karlyn Music to discuss all of the unexpected ways music plays in
to the big day.


 Fun fact, “Karlyn” is actually Karly’s full name – which,
of course, explains her business’ name.  She’s been playing
the piano since she was 8 years old, and decided pretty early on
she hoped to make a career of music. She attended Berkeley
College of Music  in Boston, where she received a Bachelor
of Music with a major in Songwriting. ( So YES – she totally
knows what she’s doing.) After college she moved to NYC where she
was part of the big city grind… until she met a Nebraska boy that
swept her off her feet. The rest is history! (Some pretty cool
history that includes a national TV appearance and subsequent
musical career with Mannheim Steamroller (1:50) )


Once in Nebraska, Karly realized there was a legitimate lack of
customized music in the wedding industry… one SHE wanted to fill.
She now does 50 to 75 weddings in the Nebraska and Iowa areas per
year. (2:50)


Karly talks about the challenges of running a business while
raising two very young children (8:00) and as we usually do
around here, she reveals three things her clients may not know
about her. (Her FIRST fact involves hanging out Billy Joel and
Don Henley. Yeah, really.)


Karly dives in to what questions she wishes brides and grooms
were asking when booking her services, (11:49) as well as unique
ways they can incorporate customized music into their big days.
(15:40)


She talks through some of the really cool stuff she can put
together for both the reception and ceremony, and honestly, we’re
shocked we haven’t heard more of this. It’s genius. (17:30) She
also goes over what kind of music is best during which parts of
your wedding, and how to determine what equipment is needed
(because you want your guests to actually hear the vows you
worked so hard on!) She also discusses some amazing ideas about
incorporating your favorite songs in an entirely unique way you
may not have ever thought of!
