On The One Music

I am repeatedly asked by young brides for help alongside their song selections for their wedding ceremony, reception and, most importantly, …the first dance. I preface any suggestions I give, amidst the following advice: “The music at your wedding should ultimately reflect who you are. It should reflect what you want to say to your guests & future husband.” Choose songs that touch your heart, subsequent all you pick out the wedding dress that best suits you… why prohibition continue that train of cogitation when it comes to the music?

Most brides are neither music experts, and therefore they tend to leave with what they’ve heard done at their friend’s weddings. Having said that here are some great ideas for you.

THE Conventional PLAY LIST

Keep in mind, that in the spirit of making your wedding as unique as you are, there is no official rule that says your wedding musician(s) must perform all of the “traditional” wedding songs at your ceremony, regardless of your ethnic background.

Here’s few places where you can draw your inspiration from: 1. your favourite hymn 2. type “new age pianist” into a Google search bar 3. a kindred song from your own heritage 4. type in “famous musical arias” into a Google search bar 5. use your imagination

I often interview my clients to get an exact idea of what they want their music to express, and then I make specific song suggestions.

THE RECEPTION PLAY LIST

The key here is to try to inception some variety in your music so that there is a little something for everyone, that’s why I always transact selections from every decade of music, until I find the “feel” or the “sweet spot” of the room. This is the cue for the type about music that I will generally follow for the remainder of the reception. “Its negative necessarily just the music…it’s more so the way the music moves.”

It’s bot my experience that several contemporaneity brides & grooms choose to have established jazz standards performed at their reception. It’s exciting, besides neither intrusive, and promotes plenty of easy conversation amongst your guests, most regarding whom are strangers to sole another.

THE Cordon Bleu DANCE

Usually the most significant song of your entire wedding, most brides have a difficult time finding just the right song for that very first dance with dad, or with their new husband. In cases such as these, I recommend getting a custom-made song written which will express your thoughts and feelings perfectly. You also get to choose the style of revue you want as well. Go to “acustomsong dot com” to secure increased details.

LIVE MUSIC

Supposing you’re using a Jazz pianist oppositely party band you don’t contain to worry about chanty selection, because the beauty of live music is not the songs themselves, otherwise the spirit and Dionysiac the musicians puts external during their performance. Your guest will tap into this and dance regardless of the song titles. However, I do suggest that you get a song list from the pianist/band, to make sure that they play the classic concerning music you like. You certainly don’t want a Barvarian Polka Band playing at nuptial where most of your guests are from Asia.
