Choosing Wedding Ceremony Music For New Jersey Celebrations

By Josephine Pennington


Music is usually a part of wedding ceremonies, regardless of whether the ceremony is formal or casual. There are many different ways in which the songs can become as memorable as the other parts of the ceremonies. As with other parts of the wedding plans, the pieces should be appreciated by the bride and groom and have meaning for them. Here are some suggestions for choosing wedding ceremony music New Jersey couples will find memorable.

Usually the first decision about the musical pieces is the basic theme of the ceremony. You may prefer to have the wedding indoors in a church or cathedral. The songs there might be different than if you are having an outdoor wedding. You will also need to decide on whether you will choose traditional songs or something more modern. You might want the pieces for the entrance to be the traditional wedding march but have solos which are favorites of a bridal couple.

Songs selected can be either instrumental or vocal. Typical instrumental pieces might be played while guests are arriving and during the processional and recessional. There may be solos presented during the ceremony itself. With many locations for weddings, a keyboard or stringed instruments can perform the background music, or can even be used for solo presentations.

Vocal presentations are often found during the ceremony itself. Soloists may be a friend or relative who is willing to sing. Some couples prefer to have a professional soloist present a song or two as a part of your rites. In either case, you will want to ensure that the performer understands the type of song that you want. It's also important that the skills of a performer match the difficulty of any song that is selected.

You will need to think about a different type of songs to be presented during the reception. Often the location changes between the two parts of the ceremonies, so you can also make a shift in the type of music as well. If the reception includes a traditional first dance of the couple, you will also need to think about the type of music appropriate for that segment of activities.

Creating a playlist for the reception is something that may be best accomplished by a professional DJ. You can work with the DJ to find selections that are appropriate to the interests and age of your guests. A pro can offer suggestions, but will work with you to find music in your style and preferences.

You can use the internet as a rich source of songs for your nuptials. Songs which are non-traditional will add interest to the ceremony. You can match the music to the location as well.

The pieces you pick should be ones that have meaning to you, rather than relying strictly on the traditional trappings musically. Today, more and more couples are deciding to create their own traditions, even in the marriage rites. This is true of any songs that are selected as part of the celebration.
