Wedding Ceremony Music – Top Tips on Making Your Wedding Ceremony Special
Wedding Music
The music your DJ plays at your
wedding ceremony and reception plays
an import role in the overall feel and
atmosphere of the event. This is a special
time and it calls for special music. But what
music should you have your DJ play? This
website should help answer that question and
ensure that your wedding ceremony and reception
have the perfect wedding music for your event.
There are typically four main parts to a wedding ceremony that require music - the prelude, the processional, the ceremony and the recessional and you will need music for each section. Now, you could have a "live" musician provide the music, but it is becoming more common to have your DJ provide the music, especially if you are having an outdoor wedding and reception in California.
For the prelude, your wedding DJ will provide soft background music as the guests are being seated and while the parents, grandparents and finally the wedding party makes their way down the aisle. When the bride makes her grand entrance and begins to march down the aisle, this is when the processional is played. Your DJ will later play the ceremony music if the bride and groom will be lighting candles. This provides a nice musical interlude during this time. Finally, after the bride and groom are introduced, the disc jockey will play the recessional music and the newlyweds will exit the ceremony.
If you're planning a wedding in California, whether it's in San Francisco, Fresno or Los Angeles, a wedding DJ is the solution. A professional California wedding DJ is familiar with the standard schedule of events that take place at the wedding reception and the music that is necessary. This includes music for the arrival and grand entrance of the wedding couple and wedding party, music for the bouquet and garter toss, the first dance music, wedding party dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, specialty dances and music for the last dance of the evening.
