Music for Every Moment of Your Wedding
By Sally Manglicmot

Favorite Rock Song or the Traditional Wedding March-- which is best for your wedding?
 

Whichever choice you make, music plays a big role in the ambiance of your big day. Many details await you. Here's a few to get started:

• Pre-Ceremony as the guests arrive to the venue--many couples select a soloist to sing, or play the guitar or harp, for example. Taped music works well with good speakers.

• When the Bride and attendants walk down the aisle--most couples select the traditional wedding march, but many individualists select their own

• If a lengthy mass is part of the Ceremony, usually music is sung by a small choir or religious music played with live instruments.

• After announcing you as Husband and Wife, select the traditional recessional song or one of your own favorites--it should be upbeat.

• Entertainment of some sort is a great decision as your guests arrive and get seated at the reception. The music should be mellow, but a notch up from elevator music.

• Continue playing music during the reception while your guests dine (it is much better than silence)

• Newlywed's First Dance--do you have a favorite and is it appropriate? If not, most couples select a popular romantic song.

• Dancing music--select songs that all generations will appreciate
