Music can play an important part in setting the mood at various stages during your wedding.
The first thing to consider is what feeling you are trying to achieve during each of the stages.
- Pre ceremony as your guests are arriving
- During the ceremony
- Post ceremony congratulations
- Photographs
- Mix and mingle
- Guest seated in reception venue prior to wedding party arrival
- Entrance
- Dinner
- Dessert
- Dancing
The list is not all inclusive and will possibly be in different order, but it highlights the need to consider more than just the music at the end of the night.
Generally the mood and tempo increases as the day progresses so guests toes are tapping and they are eager to get onto the dance floor once the formalities are completed. Having said that, dramatic changes in genre and tempo can create emotional responses during the course of events and can be used to good effect to lock in special memories.
Think back over your life… Are there certain songs that bring back memories or when you hear a song does it take you back to an event or time in your life? This is what we want to do with your special day, create memories not only for you, but your guests too.
