Wedding Music

Castle_Rock

Hi, myself & my partner are getting married, it is a civil wedding. We are trying to find some music for after we get married to be played in the background whilst we get our photos taken & during the meal, does anyone have any reccomendations or advise for this?

Thanks.

We simply had a wedding notebook that we wrote all wedding related things in, from when we got engaged to a week before the wedding we wrote down the names of songs we'd love to hear at the wedding, we then got this list down to 100 songs and uploaded it to our iPod, this way we had all the songs we loved.

depends on the tone of your wedding really....!

Maybe something like....
The Beatles - All you need is love
Madness - It must be love
Lou Read - Perfect Day (although it's not actually a very cheery song!)

Or something more traditional -
Bryan Adams - Everything I do...

Grrrr.......too late for my brain to function.....will have another think tomorrow..!!

Personally I think you can't go wrong with a bit of fairly subdued classical music (think Handel's Water Music or Delibes' Flower Duet), especially if you only want it for background.

Vivaldi's Four Seasons?

I am going for classical, makes for really pretty background music and no-one will be trying not to laugh, as they might if you went for something like Celine Dion or Bryan Adams...

oh no the dreaded music list! We've been at it for months and months and months, trying to gat5her enough appropriate songs together to play in background whilst we have our meal. Its bee ndriving me crackers and we've only got about an hour and a half up to now. I wish I'd have just bought a cd and played that, but as weve spent all that time on it, we're gonna finish it : )

Some of my friends just used a Classical Chillout Album (I think it might even have been called that) - good background music and doesn't require the effort of producing a full playlist yourself. I think we'll do something similar.

Have a look for the dinner party albums, they can be good, we have taken from the 70s, 80s and 90s albums and with a host of other tunes, come up with a playlist on my ipod.

I'd suggest looking on Youtube for Hans Zimmer, he's the bloke who does just about every bit of music you've loved in a movie and said 'oh thats nice'!! I've found loads of lovely 'mingling' music by him.
