What is really required for music choices when planning the ceremony sector of your Wedding Reception?
Time and time again we are confronted with the same question when meeting with engaged couples. Many have attended Weddings over the years and remembered only the “traditional” musical selections that have been repeated over and over through the decades. This is not to say that the “classics” are not amazing pieces of music that truly set an ambience of class and elegance. However, Many couples have commented that these selections are not a direct reflection of their own personal musical tastes or mood they wish to unfold.
The traditional Wedding Ceremony when broken right down involves four basic sectors. Firstly there is the music that is played while guests gather at the ceremony location. Traditionally was provided by String, Piano or Organ typically at many Church or Courtyard style Weddings. The selections were usually Wedding classical pieces or even Hymn’s found within the Church’s Hymnbooks. Secondly there was a selection of song or songs for the transition of the Bridal Party and Bride Herself to move to the altar at the front. Thirdly There was a traditional selection played during the actual signing and witnessing of the marriage license. Lastly There was a traditional uplifting selection played during the walk back up the aisle as newlyweds also traditional.
Enter the new mentality. The couple that longs for their Wedding Experience to be fun for guests and themselves alike from the moment of arrival onwards. This not achieved by “reinventing the wheel” so to speak, but merely to introduce a wheel that offers the chrome and brash that many couples “roll with” in their daily lives.
We are often asked when discussing this type of migration what the “typical songs “ for this choice might include? The joy of this choice is the word typical is replaced with individual or unique . For those that have been following our promise that has became our mission, we strive for a Unique, Memorable and Fun Wedding Experience. By hand picking musical pieces that have meaning for you both as a couple, you have already indicated to your guests that there attendance is important and well thoughout. So many couples have commented in the past that they want there guests having a terrific time, be toe tapping, and feel included from the moment of arrival onwards.
When we suggest this alternative to the classical pieces of yesterday, there are so many wonderful choices for your Modern Hip and Trendy Ceremony. Our favorite choice currently for an “old mixed with the new solution” is The Vitamin String Quartet style music. This will prove to provide exceptional entertainment and ambience for all ages. Your young friends will marvel as they recognize the song that is playing in a classical context. Your parents and older guests will enjoy the variety, and overall distinguished mood that is enjoyable for all.
Don’t be afraid to step outside the box, and Happy Planning.
