Wedding Bands, Yes Or No?
One of the most common traditions in weddings is for the bride to dance with her father. It symbolizes the father’s final “goodbye” moment with his daughter. Many songs have been used for this particular dance. Some good songs to play during this time would be “Butterfly Kisses” by Bob Carlisle and “In My Father’s Eyes” by Martina McBride. Wedding bands and wedding music is a big necessity. The music based around a wedding is a massive deal based on the attitude you want to receive from your guests.
During the reception of a wedding, it’s a great idea to keep music playing. The guests love a live band performing while they enjoy food and fellowship with one another. Music sets in different kinds of “moods”, so to speak. The bride and groom should choose plenty of songs to be played that mean something to them.
Funny bridal songs are a great way to keep the mood enlightened. If you want everyone to feel at home, choose silly, but sweet songs. Up temp would be better for this type of setting. Some funny songs choices include “Anything You Can Do, (I Can Do Better), Baby, It’s Cold Outside, and so on.
Romantic songs are the most common choice for a wedding. Make sure the songs you choose are not too “Rock N Roll” edgy. All of the attention goes to the newlyweds, not the song performers. You want to make your guest feel at ease and relaxed, comfortable. There are many, many, many romantic “couple songs” out there! Find the ones that mean the most to you!
Low tempo songs are also a good choice. This will keep the atmosphere quiet, peaceful, and enjoyable around you. Sweet songs could be “Lucky” by Jason Mraz, “From This Moment” On by Shania Twain, and “When God Made You” By Newsong. These are great choices, and great songs. It will make for an “Awww!” moment from the viewers.
A very rare idea is to play hard rock music. This is definitely not a common choice, but whatever suits your personal personality, and that of your mate. If you go with this idea, choose suitable song choices for a reception. Not everyone likes this idea, because it makes the reception less “homey”. Meaning, it’s not the most attractive setting, but it’s “whatever floats your boat”, as people say! There are sweet hard rock songs out there! Get to looking!
Another option is to go without music or a band at your wedding reception. This is also an uncommon decision, but quite a few people enjoy peace and quiet, as you might, too! Music might not be for you, but either way you should make your guests feel comfortable. Play games, have food, and make it feel like a fun celebration.
Make every decision under your own influence. Do not let anyone persuade you otherwise. Weddings, wedding receptions, wedding bands, and everything in between is a big deal. Enjoy this day with the ones you love. Music, Silence, Hard core, low temp, funny, serious…. And the list goes on. Whatever you choose, make it your own decision. Allow this day to be filled with enjoyment to you first, and the ones around you.
