WEDDING CEREMONY

Wedding Ceremony music is broken down into 3 categories:

1) Prelude music helps sets the mood as guests arrive. We perform elegant prelude music at our discretion, in keeping with your other music selections.

2) Processional music accompanies the wedding party's entry, including the bridal party and bride. People commonly chose one song for the bridal party and another song for the bride's entrance.

Processional Suggestions:

A Thousand Years- Christina Perri Air on a G String- Bach All Of Me- John Legend Ave Maria- Bach/Gounod Cannon in D- Johann Pachelbel Dodi Li Home- Phillip Phillips I’ll Be- Edwin McCain Jerusalem Of Gold Marry You- Bruno Mars Od Yishama Ode To Joy- Beethoven Pie Jesu- Andrew Lloyd Webber The Swan (Le Cygne)- Saint Saens Trumpet Voluntary- Jeremiah Clark Wedding March- Felix Mendelssohn

3) Recessional music plays as the ceremony concludes. This is traditionally bright and lively!

DINNER/ DANCE RECEPTION:

Introductions:

Introductions can be as simple as announcing the newlyweds or as extensive as the entire wedding party. While you have the option to choose a specific song for your introductions, our preference is to play upbeat, exciting, instrumental music of our choosing. This allows us to bring our volume down for announcing and bring it up for entrances. Songs with heavy lyrical content are problematic as we cannot sing and announce at the same time. If you prefer different songs for multiple sections of the wedding party, we can DJ these mp3s for you.

Introductions Suggestions:

There are 2 schools of thought:

2) You forgo the traditional ballad and simply end the dance party with a wild, upbeat dance song. You may choose this. Or, if you don’t have anything in mind for the upbeat song, we’ll make the call and surprise you.
