There are a couple ways you can handle music for your wedding day. You can either have live or recorded music. Live music has always been the preferred choice, although there is a lot to be said for recorded music.
Live music is more traditional and romantic and of course it is always a special thing to have live musicians to add to the ambiance of a special day such as a wedding. Recorded music at a wedding ceremony is very conmen, with live music at the reception.
Some couples will have very specific taste in music are really would rather have a DJ to play the music. This of course allows the opportunity to have all of the exact songs played at your wedding that you desire.
If you do opt for the live music, then it will be best to find the musicians that will be able to perform the kind of music that you will both enjoy. Do not allow yourself to hire musicians based on what you think is the “classy” thing to do is, but rather chose musicians that appeal to your taste in music. It is important to really enjoy the music at your wedding! As time marches on, you will want to reflect back at your wedding as something that was truly special to you. It is also important to strike a balance in consideration for your guests as well.
If you choose to go with the DJ, then you will absolutely want to discuss the songs you want played with the person who will be responsible for the music way before the wedding day. Do not make the mistake of thinking that they will know what to play. The music sets the tone and music means different things to different people. Do not forget that it is your wedding, so choose the music the two of you enjoy. Remember this, it is O.K. to go against tradition. In fact it is very chic to make your own statement and avoid the “cookie cutter” style in weddings.
It is a good idea to keep the music during dinner soft. It is just nicer to eat with relaxing music. You may ever want to keep your first dance song soft as well. Since the first dance is a dance that will be photographed by your wedding photographer and possibly video taped, as well it is nicer for the pictures is you are moving gently.
So take the time to think about what it is that you both want when it comes to the music for your wedding, and make sure you have clear communication.
