The
Music that you choose for your wedding day is an important part of the
occasion. Not only will it reflect the mood and set the tone of your wedding
but it will also need to suit a range of
wedding music styles and tastes.
String music for your ceremony
Usually a softer, more
romantic style to set the tone and ease guests into the mood.
The
most popular format for weddings is
- 15 minutes of music
played as guests arrive
- a special piece as the
bride walks down the aisle
- 1 or 2 pieces as the
register is signed
- a piece for the
recessional, when the couple leave as husband and wife.
String music for your reception
The wedding music played during your reception often includes a wider selection of music to reflect your taste and those of
your guests, however String music is perfect:
- as drinks and canapés
are served
- before the reception
dinner
- while photos are being
taken to entertain guests
Generally,
couples organise a DJ for the reception but some couples prefer strings for the
entire night or at least until the end of dinner when the DJ can take over.
As a
guide, around 10% of the total wedding costs should be set aside for music and
entertainment. Bands or DJs are usually the main choices.
