Wedding Bands, Yes Or No?
A common custom done in wedding’s is the popular father-daughter dance during the reception. This is like the daddy’s final “goodbye” to his daughter before handing her over to her new husband. There are many different songs that have been used for this particular dance. Some good choices for this situation include “In My Father’s Eyes” by Martina McBride, and “Butterfly Kisses” by Bob Carlisle. Wedding bands are a very big necessity to wedding receptions. The music reflects the attitude of the guests’.
During a wedding reception, a very common thing to do is to play music. There are all sorts of different genres. Guests really enjoy live bands to perform. The bride should pick plenty of different songs that she wouldn’t mind a live band to sing. The wedding band can simply be composed of talented family friends. Simply stuff! If that isn’t professional enough, find someone else you think would suit the job.
Comedic wedding songs are a great entertainment to guests’, as well. Not only does it enlighten the mood, but it makes them feel more at home and comfortable. A couple of suggestions for this type of music would be “Anything You Can Do, (I Can Do Better), and “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”.
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 common choices. These types of songs set “the mood” for weddings. Sweet songs with low tempo’s can tame the atmosphere around you, keeping your guests’ peaceful. “Lucky”‘ by Jason Mraz is a great song! The lyrics are precious! A couple other options are “From This Moment” by Shania Twain, and “When God Made You” by Newsong. There won’t be a try eye in the building after all of these have been performed.
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!
An option that does not occur very regularly is going with no music at all. Some people enjoy the quiet as much, or even more than music being sung. If you go with this particular option of having no music, make sure to have other fun activities to keep your guests’ occupied. Boredom is never fun. Food and games would definitely help that type of problem.
Keep the development of the wedding, wedding reception, and music all under your own influence. Talk to the groom-to-be and choose plenty of songs that would be suitable for your wedding. If you choose not to go with music, keep it all entertaining! Whatever you end up going with, make it your own!
