Metairie Wedding Plans: Choosing Wedding Music

Metairie Wedding Plans: Choosing Music for Your Wedding

The Metairie Wedding Plans guide presents this special look at choosing your music for your wedding. The ultimate goal is helping you plan the wedding of your dream!

There are two ways you can go for the music for your wedding. You can either have live music, or you can have recorded music. Traditionally live music has been the music of choice, but recorded music is becoming more popular.

Live music has often been preferred because it seems more traditional and romantic. It may be seen as cheap to have recorded music at a wedding ceremony, and live music is often expected.

But sometimes the couple may not enjoy live music. They may have very specific taste in music that would be better suited to recorded music. In this case, the wedding will often hire a DJ to play instead of a live group.

If youre going to hire live music, you should find an artist or group that can perform the kind of music the two of you both enjoy. If you both hate classical music, dont hire an orchestra! It may seem like the classy thing to do, but the two of you should really enjoy the music at your wedding! If you are both crazy for heavy metal music, go ahead and hire that wild thrash metal band! Its your wedding! You can always have some recorded music thrown into the mix.

If you decide on recorded music, you can discuss the songs you want played with the DJ well before the wedding. You might want to choose mostly romantic songs, or you might prefer having a few fun dance songs played to liven up the party. Remember, its your wedding, so choose the music the two of you enjoy.

If you have to buck tradition, go ahead and do so!

I do recommend choosing at least one slow song for the first dance. Its traditional that the bride and groom share the first dance, and it may be videotaped for posterity. You will probably want to give the guests that one dance to a slow, romantic song at the very least. Then again, if you both hate mushy music with a passion, go for what you like! Its your wedding, after all!
