With a little planning, you can use music to create the perfect atmosphere for your Celebrations. Here’s our tips:
1. When During The Day is Music Usually Required?
At the Wedding Ceremony, music is a vital ingredient:
a) As guests arrive & take their seats
b) For the Entrance Processional walk
c) For the Register Signing
d) For the Exit Recessional walk
For your Drinks & Canapes Reception, live music can create the perfect mood & break the ice amongst your guests.
At your Wedding Reception, you can specify music for:
a) Entertaining guests during the Wedding Breakfast
b) Your First Dance
c) Your DJ or Band – get that dance floor busy!
2. Get Inspired!
Stuck for repertoire ideas…?
a) Listen to each other’s play-lists
b) Search online for lists of Wedding love songs
c) Ask your musicians for their Repertoire Lists
d) List your top 10 favourites, & also list songs & genres to avoid
3. Who’s on the Guest List?
Try to choose tunes that will appeal to ALL of your guests – from the young to young-at-heart! A mix of upbeat, slower, old & modern tunes will keep everyone entertained.
4. Guest Tune Requests
Ask your friends & family for ideas before the Big Day. You could leave a blank space on your Wedding RSVP Form for guests to write down their favourite tune, or send out a Guest Tune Request email. You’ll end up having a DJ playlist straight from the party guests!
5. From the Intimate to Euphoric!
Music plays an essential role on your Wedding Day – it can build the momentum of the day, from the intimacy of saying your vows to the euphoria of a packed dance floor.
Your Ceremony: romantic, personalised music will create a bond between you & your guests…
Your Drinks Reception: upbeat instrumental music (without vocals) allows guests to chat & mingle over canapes…
Your Wedding Breakfast: background music from a mix of favourite genres sets a relaxed mood for dining…
Your First Dance: choose the tune which tells YOUR love story for this intimate moment…
Your DJ/Dance Band: let’s CELEBRATE! Get everyone up & dancing with party tunes that ALL your guests will love!
