Music creates many moods to set the stage for the vows made by the bride and groom. Since the wedding is probably the single most important day of one’s life, selecting the music should take a high priority. Live music with a vocalist, piano, classical guitar, trumpet, harp, and even bagpipes can create a variety of rich elegant moods, including calm and relaxing, inspirational, spiritual, romantic, and joyous. An outdoor wedding ceremony can be made more emotional with the use of live music.
Robert McCoy,
of Musicians
of Mackinac, says, “ musicians who are experienced
in performing on Mackinac Island understand the special
transportation and environmental conditions of Island weddings.”
Musicians who are experienced with the ceremony and reception
facilities result in fewer surprises and better quality
music.” Energy and excitement are
generated by a live dance band at the reception. Tina Reynolds
of the band from
JRC called Eminence suggests to be sure to ask who will
emcee the formalities such as cake cutting, garter ceremony,
bouquet toss, or special dances. “Plus,” she
recommends, “you should listen to an actual demo tape
before hiring a band.
Good musicians
will be able to accommodate a variety of musical requests
from the bride and groom and their guests.” Styles
can vary from the traditional, light classics, new age,
show tunes, contemporary sounds, and other favorites.
The first dance is traditionally an important part of the wedding reception with a particular song or music with significance for the bride and groom. If you can’t select one particular song or piece, ask the musicians or disc jockey for suggestions.
Disc Jockeys
A professional disc jockey can provide a variety of music for the special day. Most DJs can provide music for the ceremony itself, even if outdoors. When the bride and groom are pronounced “husband and wife” the disc jockey makes sure the moment is followed by joyous music, not silence.
Having a good disc jockey at your reception can make
the difference between guests simply having a nice time
and the time of their life. Your DJ will also serve
as the evening’s emcee and will take care of announcing
any details to your guests. “A good DJ will help to
coordinate and expedite the flow of events of your reception
without being controlling.The proper timing of the toast
and making certain that guests are seated and ready to listen
is something that you will thank your DJ. Go ahead
and enjoy the party, knowing that your DJ is there to help
make it all happen.
