Wedding
Ceremony Music Suggestions
The options for music to play during your wedding may be an
open book of ideas. There are virtually thousands of variations
to choose from and finding what you want may take some
time. This whole process can in fact be chopped down to
a much more reasonable search if you have a system to work
with.
First,
start with exactly what type of ceremony it will be. Is it going to be a very religious ceremony as in perhaps a
Roman Catholic service, or something a little more subdued?
Perhaps it may even be a theme wedding, in which case it might
not be a bad idea doing some research on the subject, in regards
to the music that is generally place in correspondence with
the actual theme you have chosen. As was previously stated,
it all comes down to the style of ceremony you are planning
on having. Here is a look at some options and see what could
be best for you.
The
choice of ceremony music should be directly related to
what is going on in the ceremony. Many times the bride and
groom will elect to have a professional singer do the music
live instead of the typical prerecorded music or an organist.
This is a very personal touch that is sure to win votes with
the guests and parents alike. In doing this they can have their
favorite song live, giving the ceremony a warm and inviting
appeal. This is generally most popular when the unity candle
is lit, or when the two sets of parents receive flowers. After
the vows are said and just before being pronounced man and
wife is an especially pleasing touch, too. It is pre-planned
when the music is concerned it revolves around the seating
of the guests, the initial march down the isle, to be headed
up and closing with the procession. If you are indeed going
this route it can be quite a bit involving. The budget on the
music will be a large organizational process, as it involves
the ceremony as well as the reception, all should meld together
seamlessly.
With
a budget, many things will come into play such as cost
of live performers, or a DJ, what types of music to be played
at the reception, and if any, how many performers to do a piece.
Generally speaking most likely the cost of a DJ versus the
cost of a live performer can run about the same tab, unless
of course the budget is endless and you have found a way to
secure Neil Diamond for the evening. If you are lucky enough
to have someone close to you as a family member, or close friend
that is a great singer, well then it would not be such a bad
idea if they were asked, as this most probably would be flattering
and a very special moment for you both. This could easily wave
the travel cost that may or may not be incurred by locking
in the wonderful talent you decided to go with, making things
much cheaper, and perhaps even allowing a friend or family
member to shine for an evening. Most performers can set you
back as much as $250- $500 for the evening, when you could
have someone be will to do this as a wedding gift. It is not unheard of for a church to disallow certain material
that they deem inappropriate. It would be wise to check with
them first, most times however, there is no problems with selections
people choose. It is even possible that the church may know
of a great performer that would be willing to be borrowed for
the event. You could ask the director involved with music in
the church. Surely they could have someone in mind, in a pinch.
As far as the reception is concerned, it would be a good idea
to keep in mind that there may be many different age brackets
there. Having a good mix will keep the people on the floor
and not seated all evening with boredom. Have a wonderful time
whether it is pre recorded or live, as this is the best moment
of your lives, and a night you will never forget.
