4 Ways To Choose The Right Songs For Your Wedding in 2021
No matter the theme or venue you choose for your wedding, music is essential! Having a professional DJ will help stall your guests, especially when there’s a delay in starting your wedding activities. It will set an excellent tone for your wedding too!
If you’re not strict with a playlist, a professional DJ can easily help you with song choices because of the knowledge and experience gained over the years.
Conversely, you still need to know how to choose the right songs for your wedding because it entails more than just 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 songs for your prelude. But there’s no hard and fast rule to this. 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 settle your guests 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 get ready 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, right? And what do you do if your guests are still dabbing their eyes with napkins after watching you exchange your vows?
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. And Nate Murray Weddings and Events offer excellent DJ skills entertainment services that you won’t find anywhere else!
