How To Decide Your Wedding Music

Choosing your wedding music will depend greatly on the budget you have and the people you know. It is much more costly to have live music such as a wedding singer, unless you know people who sing or play musical instruments.

The wedding ceremony is much nicer if you have live music and or a wedding singer, but can be great if the person operating a sound system is experienced and good at it. This allows you a wider range of song options. You can use prerecorded music in a very effective way.

Some churches have organists or other musicians that will play for little or no charge. If this is available to you, consider it. This option is very cost effective for a really good price.

At the reception, I have found, it really doesn't matter a great deal if the music is live or not. People are there to celebrate and celebrate they will. So it is sheer preference or financial necessity that dictates the decision. A disc jockey can play continuous music for the duration of the reception.

The wedding music will make the wedding YOUR wedding. The songs chosen will be those that are touching to you. So play them in the order they will be played in your wedding program to be sure you are happy with your selections.

Here's one more tip. Using a band with a smaller number of musicians is usually hired for a smaller price and a single performer will be even less.
