\"wedding_ceremony\"So being a DJ for 20 years now, I\u2019ve done my fair share of wedding ceremonies and receptions.\u00a0 It\u2019s got me thinking about ceremony music, when provided by the DJ.\u00a0 I always seem to get the same question time after time.\u00a0 \u201cWhat type of music should we play for our ceremony?\u201d\u00a0 \u201cWe have no idea what to choose for the ceremony, Help!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 I can remember 5-10 years ago it was a no brain-er \u00a0\u00a0DJ’s would always suggest the following:<\/p>\n

“Bridal party can walk into Canon in D by Pachelbel, the Bride must walk into some sort of Bridal March and the exit as Husband and Wife should by Wedding March by Mendelssohn or a second choice of Spring (From The Four Seasons) by Vivaldi.<\/p>\n

Flash forward 10 years now,\u00a0 and that\u2019s not the case anymore.\u00a0 Of course you\u2019ve probably seen the video on YouTube of The Best Wedding Entrance Dance Ever – Chris Brown – Forever<\/a> when the bridal party is walking down the isle to Chris Brown’s pop song-Forever. \u00a0AND WHY NOT???<\/strong><\/p>\n

This might get all the Mother\u2019s out there mad at me for what I’m about to say but your ceremony should match your personalities and musical taste, not follow an old standard rule of etiquette or tradition.\u00a0 Why not get your guests off their seats and get them involved in some way? It sets a very fun tone and mood for the entire event.<\/p>\n

In the last couple of\u00a0 years, I\u2019ve had a bride and groom exit to Kayne West’s \u201cGold digger\u201d\u00a0after they were announced for the first time as husband and wife! Groomsmen have walked into Survivor-“Eye of the Tiger”.\u00a0There are no set standards anymore of what should be played at your ceremony. It’s okay to have a little fun right out of the gate.<\/p>\n

So when you meet with your DJ to go over the all-important wedding ceremony music,\u00a0whether you want your entrance to have a touch of elegance with a classical piece like “Canon D” or have everyone jump out of their seats with something like Black Eyed Peas “I Gotta Feeling,” either way it’s okay! \u00a0Oh, and by the way, these days,\u00a0I don\u2019t mind when a bride and groom ask the question \u201cWhat type of music should we play for our ceremony?\u201d I have an opportunity to get my creative juices flowing and their excitement for their wedding day grows to a whole new level!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
