3 Ways To Choose The Right Songs For Your Wedding

No matter the theme or venue you choose for your wedding, having music is inevitable. Having a professional DJ will help stall your guests, especially when there’s a delay in starting your wedding activities and setting an excellent tone for your wedding.

If you’re not strict with a playlist, professional DJs, with their experience with wedding audiences, will help with your song choices.

However, you need to know how to choose your wedding’s right songs because it’s obviously beyond adding your favorite songs. Below are a few ways to make the right decisions for great wedding songs!

●      For The Prelude

Most people believe you have only to play classical for your prelude. But you may mix contemporary with classical if your DJ knows how to transition smoothly between genres.

Set out a 30-minute playlist of romantic and smooth tracks that will set the mood and get your guests to settle in. Perfect examples include “Make You Feel My Love” by Adele and “Claire De Lune” by Debussy.

●      For The Bride’s Processional

The bride’s procession often starts with a short pause, then music. While you may want to go for the traditional way and play slow themes to announce your procession, playing a little dramatic tune or song can also be great.

Bride processional song options include Jason Mraz’s instrumental version of “I Won’t Give Up.”

●      For The Recessional

After your processional and the exchange of vows, you’ll be needing a song or two to walk back down the aisle and prepare for a good party.

“Love On Top” by Beyonce or “Sighed, Sealed, Delivered” by Stevie Wonder are perfect choices for recessional songs.

●      Postlude Songs

You probably haven’t thought about what happens after wrapping up your ceremony. And what do you do when your guests are still dabbing their eyes after watching you exchange your vows? The latter is a truly wonderful and emotional moment, but what comes next?

Consider playing a soothing song while allowing your guests to organize their belongings and get ready for your reception.

You’re probably excellent with your music taste, no doubt. But your wedding music is about you and sometimes about your guests, so you’ll need a professional wedding DJ to make sure everyone has fun! And that’s us!
