by Vicki Churchill, Vic

After the vows had been taken she then walked back down the aisle with her new husband accompanied by a much livelier tune signifying the happiness of the occasion.

So what wedding songs to choose? This can be a difficult task as there is so much out there to choose from. Are you having a traditional or a contemporary wedding? Depending on the type of wedding you are having will probably reflect the type of music that you will have.

The wedding songs that you will choose will affect the whole mood of the celebrations and therefore need careful thought. If it is to be a traditional type of wedding then maybe you will opt for the more traditional types of wedding songs e.g. Wedding March by Mendelssohn's and the ever popular Bridal Chorus by Wagner better known as here comes the Bride. Maybe you are having a traditional wedding but do not want to stick to the traditional wedding songs, by choosing different ones you will make your wedding celebration much more memorable to your guests.

Are there any contemporary or classical pieces of music that you and you partner find memorable to you both? If so maybe you could have these as your wedding songs which will serve as a reminder of you very special day.

How about hiring a vocalist or a musician to play your wedding songs live, this would certainly change the whole mood of the occasion. However you would need to check with your church venue etc that they would be happy with this arrangement.

The most important thing to remember when choosing your wedding songs is to make it personal to you and your partner. Do not try to please your guests, this is your day and the wedding songs are being played for you so make sure they are what you want

KNOW FIRST YOUR WEDDING CEREMONIES

Dueto the various kinds of wedding available for couple today, you must have thelist of ceremonies that will be included in your special day. (Please refer toour other article about the different ceremonies that you might want to addinto your own wedding.) Once you have finalized the ceremonies, then you canactually choose songs that will suit every step of the ceremony.

Exampleto this: Processional ? choose songsthat conveys the meaning of such ceremony, like the classic ENDLESS LOVE byLionel Richie and Diana Ross or Celine Dion's BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME.

Thiscould make or break any , choosing the right DJ to mixyour songs and make the right segue of your preferred music. One way to findthe right one to do the job would be to ask and see foryourself while this DJs perform during a wedding. This will be a good gauge tohis/her performance. Once you have chosen the right person, make sure to keepcommunication open always. Let him/her know of your preferences and the kind offeel that you would want your wedding to have. Don't be intimidated by DJs whoopted to play their own type of music rather than following the wants of thecouple to be wed. Remember, this is your wedding, and not his/her. But ofcourse, if you have the right budget, then you may also want to hire a goodband that can play your extensive song playlist. Look around your area to findout rates of bands that will be within your budget. Again, wedding coordinatorscan help you in this quest.
