Music

libby18bell

Has anyone started finalizing their ceremony music?  FI and i  are having a string quartet and they will play music for 15 mins before the service, 2 processionals, 2 songs during the ceremony and 1 recessional.  As of right now we are planning on having the church organist. 

What are you girls doing?

Our dj is playing for the ceremony too. I have some classical style music picked out for that. He is also singing our first dance song to us since its Frank Sinatra.

I have to talk to the church before I can select ceremony music... just in case. We have talked about it, and have ideas, but I need to make sure we can use secular music. As for the reception music? hahahahahahhaa. no. We need to, though.

The string quartet gave us a list of suggested songs, so that's helped a ton.  I know my church is a no go on contemporary music, ecept for the time before the ceremony.

We have to use the church organist for our wedding (which is totally cool because I like him).  For the reception, we are having a dj (FI's cousin owns a deejaying company and they offered).  They will likely have background music going during cocktail hour.

Rochelle have to you started thinking of songs yet?  That's what I'm trying to get an idea of today, what songs we want when.

<div>I haven't though about it.  We are having our last meeting with the Reverend on Apr 6 where we will talk about the logistics of the wedding.  Then, I plan to talk to the organist and let him take the lead regarding what songs to play.  I will update you when I know more!</div>

Have you guys decided on if you are going with an Irish song during the ceremony?

libby18bell

We are going to do the "Irish Blessing" before the ceremony.  I can't really find a place during the ceremony for it.  My pickle right now is trying to figure out a song for the moms to walk in to.  I have it narrowed down to 3 and may ask my mom if she likes one over the others.

So far, I'm thinking Canon in D for the bridesmaids and Trumpet Voluntary for me.

I only know that I want to walk in to "thousand years" and out to "all you need is love"

Nothing else known yet. We have a string trio for the ceremony and dj for the cocktail hour and reception

We haven't spoken to an organist yet, but what we use will be based on what's in the organist's repertoire.

We are using an Ipod/Iphone for our ceremony music. We still need to pick our songs though and set them up to play when appropriate.

Since my fiance is a sound engineer, he's very excited to finagle a mix for the ceremony, perfectly timed to when everyone walks, I come out, and when they annouce us. We're having a mariachi band for the cocktail hour, and a sweet dj for the reception.

Are you walking to an instrumental of "a thousand years" or the song with the lyrics? I really like that song!

Edit: I assume you are walking to an instrumental since you are having a string trio for the ceremony. Reading fail!
