Our ceremony is outside at the same venue as our reception, but not close enough to use the same sound system. I've been looking at different options from an ipod to a solo guitarist or a strinq quartet, but I don't really know what will work best. What did you use? Were/are your ceremony songs traditional or contemporary?
Re: What are you doing for ceremony music?
Here's the YouTube of that song:

Our ceremony is inside a small chapel; a duo might not be strong enough for outdoors.
[QUOTE]I do love Pachelbel's Canon, it just sounds like a wedding, which is why I was thinking more traditional music. But the other day I heard a solo violinist playing Bittersweet Symphony and LOVED it. Now I'm thinking more modern music for the ceremony.

That's awesome! It sounds like there's a background beat in addition to the violin though. I think you could definitely have this and also traditional music if you want. Whenever anything is played on strings, it always sounds classy!
People are inherently stupid. Weddings make it painfully obvious -- KevinandMonica
I ended up using Canon in D. Very traditional and perfect for weddings... I was still bummed though.
We used the church musician and he did a beautiful job... mostly acoustic guitar... soft and simple.
I have heard of brides using local college musicians to save a few $$... don't have any good recommendations though since we went through our church. sorry!

If you are going to use an extra speaker or sound system for your ceremony, check with your DJ. I know our DJ offered packages that included setup at 2 different locations (ceremony and reception)... this may be a good option for you
