Wedding Music Checklist
There are so many different choices to make for your wedding.
There’s flowers, catering, invitations, venues, etc. The music is one of the
most important because of the mood that you want to set for your important day.
You should consider compiling a wedding music checklist.
There are various types of music that you need during the course
of the wedding. First there’s the ceremonial walk down the aisle. There are many
choices to consider here. Normally, you would consider classical. I personally
like Handel’s Water Music. Many people just go with the traditional,“Here Comes
the Bride”. Also, the exit music needs to be upbeat and yet sophisticated.
At the reception, there has to be music while people mingle and
eat. This needs to be background music, nothing that sticks out or is offensive.
The music should help to encourage a joyous mood while not loud or overbearing.
Also, there should be dance music. You can get a band for this
or a DJ to get the party started. The type of music here would depend on the
crowd. There should be popular music for the younger crowd. But it should also
have music for the older people so that everyone can participate in dancing and
having fun.
In the end, you have to choose the musician or musicians. I
suggest just going with a band that can do it all or one piano player or
guitarist at the beginning and a DJ for the dance music. This would all depend
on your budget and what your tastes are. Make a wedding music checklist and try
to include the points I suggest here. This takes the hassle of last minute
choosing.
Have a great wedding. And
congratulations!
