Songs Played At A Wedding

No matter how long you stall the music chapter in the planning of your wedding, the do-it-yourself kind of wedding celebration, you come sooner or later to the situation in which you are supposed to choose the songs played at a wedding. You have your plans to organize your wedding event in the backyard of your parents' house and because of the limited wedding budget you are compelled to cut a lot of the costs involved in the process of the planning, these cuts including not hiring a DJ or a band of musician for the musical ambiance of your wedding festivity.

However, one of the following week-ends you need to go through the list of the existing CDs in the house and after that to browse the CD collections of your parents, and considering the important parts of your wedding celebration to decide which songs come here and there. You have to be very selective with the songs played at a wedding, especially with the songs performed for the representative moments to belong to the spirit of a wedding: the bride's arrival, the walk down the aisle improvised on one of the alleys of your parents' lawn and garden, the song to accompany the religious service expressed by the final pronunciation of you as married couple.


The beginning of the reception party is unfolded on the musical background of the cocktail hour, the 'hour' when everybody is waiting for you two to make your entrance as husband and wife, displaying the café-concert type of music, soft tunes in the await of the two most important characters of the wedding reception. Your big entrance is also staged on musical sounds with songs that can express a certain state of mind, now that the two of you are already married, the moment being followed by other three big, musical ones: the father and daughter dance, mother and son dance and the first bride and groom dance.

The final act of the wedding reception is performed on songs that represent the cake cutting and sharing, songs that could also be chosen as songs of joy, sharing and commitment. The list of the entire collections available on your CDs and your parents' is so long that you might need a whole month to listen carefully to all of them and deciding which ones are the songs to play at your wedding, and more important which are the ones to be the messenger of those emotional moments that take place on the dance floor of your wedding reception.

The work of selection is finally carried out by the means of creating PC's alphabetical lists of the musical collections (hits from different ages of musical styles included) then copying and pasting the titles to play them shortly on the youtube version of audition, to decide which ones will be the ones to decorate the musical ambient of your wedding celebration. In this way you are sure to save some time and money as well, since the existence of a professional CD player with hi-fi station and pair of speakers will be enough to guarantee the entertainment of your wedding guests.
