Choosing Your Wedding Music

The reception is where the culmination of the wedding will be held. It is here where people will get to enjoy the celebration together with the newly married couple. For this matter, every detail of the celebration must provide satisfaction and contentment not only to the bride and groom but to all visitors and guests as well. At the reception, the elements that will make the celebration a success are comfortable venue, great foods, party floor, and, of course, music. The wedding music plays a very important role both in the wedding ceremony and all throughout the culmination of the celebration.

Ceremony Music

The wedding music you choose for your ceremony will set the tone for your entire wedding. Remember to ask your site what types of wedding music they allow – many churches do not allow secular music to be played and have very strict rules about what may be used. Consult with the musical director of your facility to be sure you create a program which is suitable and also suits your own style.

Ceremony music is the music played during the ceremony; i.e., prelude, processional, ceremony, recessional, and postlude. Prelude music is played 15 to 30 minutes before the ceremony begins and while guests are being seated. Processional music is played as the wedding party enters the ceremony site. Ceremony music is played during the ceremony. Recessional music is played as the wedding party leaves the ceremony site. Postlude music is played while guests leave the ceremony site. Options: The most traditional musical instrument for wedding ceremonies is the organ. But guitars, pianos, flutes, harps and violins are also popular today.

Other wedding music you will need to choose include the father-daughter dance, mother-son dance, songs to be played during the toasts, bouquet toss, garter removal and toss, cake-cutting, money dance (if you have such a thing), and the last dance. You will also want to consider playing traditional wedding music from your cultural backgrounds.

Don’t forget, when choosing your wedding music, to make a list of songs that you absolutely want to have played at your reception and provide this to your dj or band. If they don’t have it, you will want to obtain a copy yourself of anything you just need played.

If music be the food of love, play on! A true saying especially when time comes for celebrating the union of two people. Music plays an important part in all types of wedding in India. There are songs and music for every occasion in all Indian weddings. Music can fill in a festive and enthusiastic atmosphere in your celebration. You can avail this chance to select some of your favorite songs and music to express your joy and happiness. Performing a jig on bollywood hit numbers and hiring professional live performers or DJs adds to the excitement. The fun is more when you have your choice of music and the DJ playing it for you..

Whether it is for pre wedding, main wedding day and post-wedding ceremonies, music brings out the special shine and fun. In typical Indian wedding, you should know that the music and songs should be lively for the whole wedding party to join in.

If live music is what you want then, you can hire musicians. Live music sounds better than music played on stereos, but remember to hire professionals. Amateurs can ruin your mood of celebration. Choose the right music to lift up the ambience of your special day.
