Had my final meeting with a B&G last night
for a Ceremony & Reception Last Night.

After 2.5 hours
Came out with pretty much nothing when it
comes to song choices.

Need a little help with ceremony Music (I've been told to pick 'em myself)
(Really only one Song)

Processional
Bridesmaides/Flower Girl:
Bride: I wan to use HEAVEN - DJ Sammy ft Yanou
Singing of the Registry: SONGBIRD - Eva Cassidy
Processional: CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE - Michael Buble


Can someone give me an Idea for the Bridesmaids Processional
Something that will blend nicely with Heaven????

Or

I can change the Brides Processional Song
 
Is there a dance remix of Kelly Clarkson's A Moment Like This?

Truthfully, I must have done a couple hundred ceremonies in my career and I never had a bride request an entrance with quite the tempo as Heaven. Good luck with it!

You've Lost me... maybe this is regional, but for the actual ceremony
part I've always used slow ie. Canon in D, Wedding March...
You've gone upbeat for most of yours?


Sorry!!!!
Just Realized I forgot the (Candlelight Mix) part :sqembarrassed:
Heaven (Candlelight Mix) - DJ Sammy ft Yanou
 
Oh jeez, that's quite the omission! That changes everything! I thought a bride actually wanted the uptempo version! :sqeek:

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, Ave Maria, Trumpet Voluntaire, I find it hard to argue with the classics.

Heaven is actually my choice
(Bride has left all the Music choices up to me for the ceremony)

I'm just stuck on a song that will blend nicely with Heaven
For some strange reason I'm trying to stay away from the Classics

BTW - Your classics are pretty much the same here Johnny!
Thanks soo far for your help!

Al:

I generally stick to traditional/classical for ceremony music.

Prelude: Classical - There are several CDs out there specific to weddings. I'll send a list when I get home.

Mother's Entrance - Cannon in D or Air on the G String

Bride's Maids, Flower Girl's, Ring Bearer: Cannon in D or Air on the G String (the one you didn't use above).

Processional (Bride): Here Comes The Bride

Recessional: The Wedding March

Postlude: Continue from Prelude.

Prelude and Postlude are just incidental music used as the guests arrive or depart.
 
I've got Tons O Wedding Mix CDs for Ceremonies

My feeling I get with the B&G and their families
is more on the Non Traditional (No Classical) Music
Function is at their own House (Big Farm) & both sides of the
families are Farmers (Gold ol' country Folk)

Arrrrg! I'm anal about this!
Sorry (venting at myself),
yes my night would be much easier if I would just go Tradiotional








Last Dance (1am) for the B&G to dance to is.... Closer (Unedited) - NIN
All other Songs Requested "Good Dancing Music... Old Time Rock & Roll, Cotton Eyed Joe, Thank God I'm a Country Boy, Polka, Save A Horse, YMCA, ACDC, The funness Goes on

I usually stick with Neo Classical for Pre & the kick it up a Notch for Post
(Again both Ceremony & Reception at Same Location Outside!) So Post
Ceremony is Going to be Cocktails (about 3.30pm to 5.30pm)
 
Al:

I know where you're coming from. I have a ceremony where the bride is coming in to "Crazy Bi&^%".
 
Still Lookin for a Song Suggestion for the Bridemaids Processional
that will blend nicely into the Bride's processional of...
Heaven (Candlelight Rmix) - DJ Sammy ft Yanou
 
I found a song for the Bridesmaids processional...

I thinking of using "Kiss The Girls" by the Piano Brothers
Should blend nicely into the piano part of Heaven...

What do you think?
 
Other Thoughts

I Will Love You by Fisher
Forever – Ben Harper
Bubbly – Colbie Caillat (check out her website – also listen to Realize)
 
Hi Al,

Just my opinion, but that song is a little much for a ceremony. I am just guessing here but being that they are farmers do they like country music? Did they specify the genre they liked?

Anyway here is a link to some theme weddings that I use for the cermonies. We do a lot of ceremonies and I found that many of the same songs were requested over and over so I mixed them with some other music choices. It has been working really well for me. Theme Wedding Ceremonies - Our DJ Talk - DJ Help and Resources Chat! I also have a few more themed ceremonies that you are welcome to.

If you decide to stick with your surrent selection please post it and I'll see what I come up with. You have to be kind of careful with ceremonies, I once had a bride request lots of Metallica, didn't go over too well with the older family members, but hey, it was what she wanted so I did it.

If you decide to stay with those selections I will see what I can come up with.

Hope it helps.
