Ceremony Music

I was wondering what everyone is planning on doing for ceremony music. At first I was thinking about having my DJ come for the ceremony too so I didn't have to worry but I'm not sure I would want to have him come and set up for the ceremony and then have to move inside for the reception. Then I was thinking I could just put someone in charge of playing the songs on a regular cd player because we are using regular songs but am a little skiddish about the logistics. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    We had our DJ do our ceremony also (our ceremony was right outside of the reception) because it was only $100 extra.

    We hooked a laptop up to the speaker that we were using for the ceremony microphone. We put a friend in charge of changing from song to song. It worked great and didn't cost us anything.

    We hired a local guitarist.  He only charged $150 and played for an hour.  It was perfect for our location.

    We're using our dj for the ceremony music. Maybe you could aks some friends or relatives to help him move his equipment to make for a smoother transition? I know that ours can fully change locations within less than 5 minutes but will have to have 2 helpers to move the speakers.

    We are plugging our Ipod into the sound system and having a friend sit there in case things need to be paused or rewound or anything. Really cheap! The DJ is for the reception.

    We are hiring a harpist. The harp is perfect for an outdoor wedding and the sound travels great without need for amplification =)

    DJ for ceremony and reception. Our ceremony area is small so I think he is only bringing 1 or 2 smaller speaker outside and then we're having some of our GM help him move them inside. No one will notice if there is no music for 5 minutes.

    FH's mother and brother are classicially trained performers so we are hoping that they will be able to pull of a favor with some of their friends hooking us up with (or at least giving us a very good deal) for a quartet for the ceremony. Another option, as you suggested, is to use the DJ.  The catering manager at our venue suggested that as a possible money saving option.
