Wedding music

'If music be the food of love, play on - give me excess of it!'
(Twelfth Night - W Shakespeare)
 
 
The most important thing to remember when choosing your wedding music, is to choose music that inspires you.  Music sets the tone and creates the atmosphere you want.

The best way to pick music is to talk with friends and family - find out what they had or would recommend. These days there aren't really any rules about the music you choose. If you are struggling, go through your old movies or buy inexpensive CDs of 'Wedding Music', close your eyes and imagine yourself walking in or out to the music you hear.

Special Musical Items

Sometimes you want that bit more. Including music in the ceremony really helps to individualise your service. Choose classical or contemporary. Just ensure that you have the permission of the official conducting the ceremony - ensure that they find the music appropriate. Remember - it has to mean something to you, but here are a few popular suggestions!
