A quick guide of the different types of music to play at your wedding ceremony and reception. Choose what best wedding<\/g> music that suits you, your partner, and your guests.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Music has an important role in a wedding; creating that romantic ambiance and filling the air with harmonious sounds. Choosing the best music for your special day is key in establishing a memorable experience for everyone to cherish. Music is not only for the purpose of removing dead air but it should have meaning that can move a person emotionally. Here is a breakdown on planning the best music for your ceremony and reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wedding music – Live Band or DJ?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It actually depends on the couples’ preference. The other things to consider is the space of the event and the budget. You can have either:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

• A string quartet, saxophonist, or pianist if you want that romantic instrumental vibe.<\/li>
• A live band that plays and sings your selection of songs.<\/li>
• A DJ that you can hand over your selected songs for him to play.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

  You can either choose one to play for the whole event from the ceremony to the reception or a combination of two kinds. A more romantic vibe on the ceremony and a casual reception, or the other way around. Make sure to book them ahead to make sure you have the best wedding music. If you had less time for planning this, you can opt to assign a close friend to play the music for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  There are mainly 3 parts in a wedding event the couple should consider in selecting the best songs that fit – the ceremony (more formal), the reception (semi-formal\/casual), and the dance after the reception (casual).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Here are some top song suggestions that won\u2019t fail you on your wedding day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    It is party time, party music, well, not at this time. Your wedding music goes up against a few styles of music. There is the music for the ceremony, at that point the music for the more formal part of the wedding reception and after that the party time of the reaction. <\/p>\n

                    In most of the countries, this is by all accounts how the wedding music is chosen, by these three regions, the ceremony, the formal part of the wedding reception and the party-time of the wedding reception. <\/p>\n

                    For the wedding ceremony, it is best to check with the church coordinator, Priest, Minister, Pastor or Marriage Celebrant and get the rule about what is adequate. Periodically they can supply a choir or artist and organist\/musician or will enable you to have your own. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":773,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[31,36,15],"yoast_head":"\n
