[W274]Wedding Music First Dance

by Matthew Hick, Mat

First of all, if your wedding is even slightly traditional, you will need music at your wedding ceremony; whether it is at a religious place of worship such as a church, mosque, temple, or a reception hall or outdoor spot. If you have wedding music at your religious place of worship, you should definitely speak to the person in charge of the place to make sure you follow all of the rules necessary. For instance, Christian churches may require a certain type of music to be played. Bringing a rock band into a church will probably not go over very well with the pastor! So before you make any plans for your ceremony music, make sure that you find out about and follow all of the guidelines given to you.

Next, you will need wedding music for the wedding reception. This way, you and all of your guests can be entertained and can dance the night away. The type of wedding music you choose depends upon two things: your personal musical likes and dislikes, and your wedding budget. You can get everything from a 10-piece band, to a small band, to a disc jockey (DJ), to a simple CD player operated by one of your friends. Again, it depends on how formal you want to get and how much you want to spend.

One important thing to keep in mind when choosing the music for your reception is that you want everyone to enjoy the entertainment somewhat. If you and your fiance love heavy metal music, but you are aware that most of the older guests don't really like it, you may want to pick what the majority of the people can appreciate. Some of your favorite songs should be mixed in with songs that all people may like. A mixture of classic rock, jazz, dance, and country favorites can make for an interesting time. But keep in mind that the selection is totally up to you and your fiance.

When choosing the music for your wedding, also keep in mind that you must pick some special songs to dance to; one that the bride can dance to with her father (or father figure), one that the groom can dance to with his mother (or mother figure), and one that the bride and groom can dance to together. These songs can be favorites that have special meaning to the people dancing.

All in all, music can make or break a fin time at a wedding celebration. Choosing appropriate music with your guest list in mind will help matters and set the stage for some serious wedding fun! Think about it this way: if all of your guests are having a fabulous time, chances are that you will as well. So put on your wedding dress and your dancing shoes - it's time to get the party in full swing!

Choosing the Proper Wedding Music can be a difficult task. Trying to please all will be hard because not everyone shares the same taste in music thus leaving you in an awkward situation. A sure way of achieving satisfaction is to hire a disc jockey. His or her collection of musical compilations will no doubt be unlimited so I am pretty sure all your needs will be serviced in the way of great music. The good thing about opting for recorded music is the fact that the guests can request their favourite songs.

A good DJ with experience on weddings will entertain in between breaks. Explain in fine detail before hand what music you would like played on the turntable. How can you tell if the guests are enjoying themselves, well that is easy, watch their dance moves If the foot work is similar to that of Michael Flatly doing the river dance then you have chosen the proper wedding music.

Another option for entertainment is to have a live band perform at the wedding. Depending on your place of venue you may need permission for this so be sure to check this out in advance.

There are many types of music to choose for your wedding. It is crucial that you select the right melodies and tunes because without a doubt it is the music that sets the mood and creates the atmosphere.

Contemplate during your wedding service to have a choir sing hymns accompanied by the church organist this can add an essence of ease among the guests and for the bride and groom.

Before booking a live band for the wedding, ask if you can listen to their music first. Also have a chat about the emcee duties.

Keep the music on going at all times with a little background music in between intervals. The reason for this is no one loves the dreaded silence when the music ceases to play.

If you like jazz then play jazz. Rock and roll is a guarantee for a successful night. Remember rock around the clock - now that is proper wedding music for any reception. When have you never seen a foot tap to Bill Hayley and the comets

A way of knowing that you did the evening justice is when the guests sing at the top of their voices to an extent where they overpower the music. This is an additional bonus because you now have karaoke putting and end to your special wedding evening.
