Choosing Wedding Ceremony Music For New Jersey Nuptial Rites

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.

Even the range of instruments utilized during a church wedding can be significant. Some couples prefer the majestic sounds of a pipe organ. Others are happier with instrumental pieces played by string quartets or even by keyboard selections. Different parts of the nuptials may use different instrumental pieces. It is perhaps more common for easy listening type background pieces during the seating of wedding guests, but it doesn't have to be that way.

It is fairly typical to have at least one solo type presentation during the nuptials. This is often a song of love or commitment sung by an individual. The singer can be a friend or relative with a good voice or could be a professional if desired. In either case, you will want to be sure that the piece which is selected for the presentation is one which the vocalist knows and can handle from a technical standpoint.

You may want to change the style of songs presented, when it is time for the reception to begin. Receptions tend to be somewhat less formal. There is often music for dancing. The first dance as husband and wife can be a waltz or other more formal style, followed by more active dance music when the guests take the floor.

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.

Regardless of which specific songs you choose, they should be meaningful to the bridal couple. Often, couples who write their own vows will also choose non-traditional music. In each part of your ceremonies, you are creating memories for yourselves and your guests.
