Las Vegas weddings have been known for their tackiness as long as Las Vegas drive thru weddings have existed, but Las Vegas weddings are quickly becoming more elegant with brides spending more on their Las Vegas nuptials. With this includes their choice of Las Vegas wedding music and Las Vegas wedding musicians.

We spoke with Chandler Judkins, president of Las Vegas Wedding Music, the number one live musician contracting company in Las Vegas and he had a lot to say about a new trend among Las Vegas couples.

Las Vegas couples arent choosing string quartets as much as they used to, Judkins said. Jazz is more of the choice for their Las Vegas wedding music.

The reason for choosing jazz more than strings for Las Vegas weddings is simple according to Judkins. They want something different. Thats usually why theyre getting married in Las Vegas in the first place.

Strings are still a popular Las Vegas wedding music choice and oftentimes Las Vegas couple will pair up the two, having strings for the ceremony and jazz for the cocktail hour and reception afterward.

A Las Vegas jazz quartet can be the perfect solution to create elegance, class, dancing and swinging, and all at a reasonable price. Las Vegas Wedding Musics jazz groups start as low as $500 for a few hours, and no minimum time is required. Las Vegas Wedding Musics musicians often show up to play for a 15 minute wedding ceremony and then go home.

Las Vegas Wedding Music is so flexible with price, timing, groups, song requests list and more because according to Judkins, music is his passion and he wants to share that passion through his company Las Vegas Wedding Music.

Couples getting married in Las Vegas often dont realize that live musicians can be contracted for as little as a Las Vegas dj can be hired, Judkins said. Our goal here at Las Vegas Wedding Music is to promote live music. We want our brides to walk down the aisle to the real thing, not a distorted version of Canon in D.

Judkins is a professional musician himself and oftentimes plays with the Las Vegas jazz groups. Live sound demos of the Las Vegas string quartet and the Las Vegas jazz groups can be found at Las Vegas Wedding Musics site: LVWeddingMusic (dot) com.

Las Vegas Wedding Music also offers other Las Vegas wedding music packages for couples getting married in Las Vegas who want something different for their Las Vegas wedding. Singers, harpists, top 40 bands, mariachi groups, impersonators and more are available.

Las Vegas Wedding Music can work with nearly any budget and their packages start as low as $250.

Renae Judkins earned her journalism degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

I have been a fan of Edith Piafs for many years. Among her esoteric US following was the basketball team at my college, which used to warm up to her song, Milord. I was also a student of French, and learned to sing along with many of her songs. Even though I knew nothing of her life, and no one off my college campus had ever heard of her, her singing was inspirational to me at the gut level. It is something in the voice itself.

The story of Edith Piafs life, told in the movie La Vie en Rose, is so turbulent and full of tragedy and success that it lends itself to mythologizing, though that isnt necessary. The verifiable facts are enough. With parents who were a street singer (mother) and a circus performer and/or street-performing contortionist (father), both likely alcoholics, Edith was born in the streets of Paris (or thereabouts). She was then tossed from parent to grandparent and back again throughout her childhood. She was blind for several years as a child and possibly deaf for a period of time later on, she spent several years living in the brothel her grandmother ran, and her only child, born to her when was but a teenager, died before the age of 2.

How did Edith Piaf survive this life which always seemed to be now-you-can-see, now-you cant, much less become an international superstar, icon for France, and personification to many of the sheer will to survive?

Among the many scenes that captured me in the movie, were the scenes with her coach, perhaps because Im a personal life coach. Raymond Asso basically turned her from a street singer into an international super star in the way that coaches work recognizing the raw talent, seeing what needed to be done, giving feedback and motivation, and most of all sticking with the client as they do the work which quite often includes the phrase I cant.

First he realized she needed a name change. Edith Gassion was not going to work. He suggested Piaf which meant little sparrow, fitting because Edith Piaf was only 48 tall.

Next he told her she needed to articulate and taught her how to spit the words out in a way that one critic describes as an any note could be the last sort of conviction. When she turns to the orchestra (in the movie) and tells them to play Padam you hear this. Padam Padam Padam ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R85LXfkdcWA ) When he told her to articulate, she said she could not sing that way, at which he gave her motivation. Do what I say, he told her, or go back to the gutter.

Motivation, however, we coaches know, is only temporary. What it boils down to is determination, and having someone join you in the difficult journey is often the key to success. In the movie, we watch them working together for hours and hours and he encourages her when she becomes negative, tired, or both. What a coach!

Raymond Asso also noticed the natural beauty of her hands, and taught her how to use them when she sang. If you watch the video of Hymne a LAmour ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjR5xFZxZK8 ) you will see the incredible quality this brings to her performances. Her coach also wrote Mon Legionnaire, the song said to have made her a star.

Essentially what her coach did was develop the raw talent, so the lump of coal could become a diamond, true to its nature, but refined and polished. Edith Piaf said she learned everything from her coach about how to sing and perform.

Other life events intruded, one more painful than the next. The movie makes it clear that what kept Edith Piaf going was being able to sing on stage, before an audience. Life without singing did not interest me, she said. The voice and natural talent were given to her, but it is entirely likely that without the expert guidance and support of her coach, she would have remained singing in the gutter, without the audience she desired, and none of us would have had the opportunity to hear this truly unique singer.

Hymne a LAmour, by the way, was voted the #4 most beautiful French song ever written. It is about Marcel Cerdon, the boxer, who was the great love of Edith Piaf's life. She recorded it early in 1949, and Marcel Cerdon died in a plane crash in October of that year. While the song defies literal translation, the cover in the US is called If You Love Me (Really Love Me), and the last line is God reunites those who love each other.
