Wedding Music: When To Play it During the Wedding.

4/4/2018

A wedding is big and a huge day full of activities. Music comes to add to the fun as it fills the gaps in between the major activities, like cake cutting, exchange of vows etc.

Although it may seem like a filler, it is the most crucial item that your guests will associate you with each time they remember your wedding.

In this post, we have outlined the major places that music is a must whether you prefer a band or a dj:

>Arrival songs.
The room should be warm and welcoming when the guests are arriving and getting sited. These are the perfect songs that will establish the mood for the whole day. They should be slow with a bit of energy.
Classical songs will be a good choice for a traditional themed wedding.

>Wedding party songs.
The processional should walk down the aisle with pop. The songs to accompany the wedding party should highlight the moments that are about to follow. The arrival of the bride.

>Arrival of the bridal party.
This is a good place to throw your best music choice or you may let the dj have their way in here. A dance as you walk down the aisle is not a bad idea also.

>Walking from the aisle.
You are now husband and wife! The best song should signify this as well as set the pace and tone of the remaining part of the day. Something funky and energetic will be a perfect choice. For example one by Florence and the machine “you’ve got the love”

>Reception music.
By now the mode for upbeat music should be in the air. But don’t get the guests to the dance floor just yet.
The songs should be energetic with a high tempo as they define what your new spouse means to you. Go with what you actually love, hip-hop, rock, reggae, country etc, it’s your day and you have to enjoy it.
Make sure each group arriving at the reception have their own songs to accompany their style. The dj can choose these.

>During dinner.
This is the time for guests to mingle so choose songs that are not that upbeat while at the same time maintain a cheerful mood in the room. Jazz will be a good choice at this hour.

>Dances.
Whether the mother-son, father-daughter or any other dance, make sure to choose songs that correspond with each group. When it comes to the dance floor, keep the energies up all through.

Finally, other wedding songs to choose are the ones to play during the cake cutting. You can even include a soundtrack if you feel that’s what goes with you. If not sure which kind of songs to play where let your dj or band do what they do best.
