Facing the Music of Getting Married
Mozart, Mendelssohn, Mellencamp or Madonna, the processional music, recessional, postlude, reception, first dance, last dance, DJ or live and oh my God, can everyone or anyone dance to it? Music, music, music – what about the music? Face the music.
For the guests, the food and the music share equal significance when it comes to making your wedding memorable – in a good way or a bad way. It begins before it begins, while the guests are being seated and it matters all the way to the last dance before the couple departs from the reception. Choices are legion and the resources are everywhere for the choosing.
Considerations for the various restrictions that may apply in the case of a church wedding songs can even complicate the issue, if you want to include live music. The skill level of the organist, pianist, soloist and/or other musicians such as a trumpeter or harpist can vary. Important too, is the age and mix of generations among the guests at the reception in order to include an appropriate variety of music that encourages dancing, participation and fun for everyone.
The opportunity to raise the bar on all aspects of the wedding experience resides in the planning and selection of the music. The good news is that never before have there been as many resources available to make the right choices than now.
And the even better news is that it is not necessarily tied to money. Not to mislead, budgets always count in planning the details of the wedding, but advanced planning counts more with the selection of the music. The web makes the process a piece of cake (pun intended) with an infinite number of sites devoted to the subject.
You’re able to preview significant pieces of music for the ceremony consistent with the theme and type of wedding you’re considering and there are many play lists to select from for the reception. Valid tips and recommendations abound for the occasion and tools for smartly choreographing the event make things less complicated than they initially seem.
Planning a wedding is all about the details and certainly there is no shortage of details to plan. Frankly, a wedding is nothing, but details. However, the music can be either the hardest or easiest part of the planning exercise.
Ahead of time with quality time, it can be fun. At the last minute it can be hell-on-earth. Enlisting help from someone whose taste you respect, being careful not to include a committee can make it fun.
It can be an oasis of enjoyment to the beginning of what normally becomes a very anxious and frenetic experience as time shortens and all the other accompanying accoutrements are anticipated as the nuptial deadline approaches. Most importantly, whether one is engaging the services of a Wedding Planner, other events professionals, friends or relatives, the music should definitely include the input and involvement of the nuptial couple. The personality of the experience should bear the stamp of the couple’s preferences at important points along the way and serve to punctuate the culmination of their romantic journey and ceremonious arrival.
Everyone wants their wedding to be especially memorable and nowhere else is the total experience crystallized in the memory than in the ethereal reverberations of music.
