Music

From the ceremony to the reception

When it comes to music, everyone’s got their own likes and dislikes. Wedding music is no different. Of course, many of the songs played during the reception will have special meaning to the happy couple, but filling the rest of the evening with the best wedding songs requires some thought.

The first thing to consider is the tone of the wedding. Of course, you want the songs played to reflect the mood of the wedding – from subtle and mellow all the way up to loud and lively! Once you know what style of wedding reception you’d like, you can start to make a list of all the genres of music that work. Another thing to bear in mind is the age range and tastes of the guests. If you’re planning a large wedding reception, you might have a lot of different people to please. It’s nice if everyone has something to enjoy, so factor this in when building your playlist.
