Wedding Music

Categories: Events | Weddings | Products | News | Music
    • Selection of wedding music may be influenced by cultural or religious affiliations
    • Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" from A Midsummer Night's Dream and Wagner's Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin are popular choices for the processional
    • Many U.S. receptions feature up-beat music such as "YMCA" by The Village People, "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang or "We are Family" by Sister Sledge
    • Reception music may also include group dances such as The Electric Slide/"Electric Boogie" by Marcia Griffiths, The Chicken Dance, "Macarena" by Los Del Rio or "The Hustle" by Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony to encourage guest participation
  • The selection of the wedding music is an important part of any betrothal celebration as it sets the tone for the ceremony and reception. Whether a couple chooses classical or modern music to be played by an orchestra, a live band or a disc jockey, the wedding music should complement, or underscore, the wedding theme from the prelude through the last dance.
