The Music At Your Wedding Ceremony
There is one person you will contract for your wedding
that by the nature of the task, will be in total control
of the day's flow. No, it's not the caterer, photographer,
videographer, or the function hall manager. Those people
are important, but will have far less influence on the
day's outcome. The person that I am referring to is
your music provider, be it a live band or DJ. You'll
trust them to set the tempo and provide the atmosphere
you desire to ensure the success of your wedding day
from the moment the guests arrive till you part with
the vidai ceremony.
It’s safe to say that out of all the events for
which you will gather your friends and family to celebrate
your marriage, the wedding ceremony itself will be the
most meaningful and, hopefully, memorable. Music plays
many vital roles in the mandap ceremony, from providing
flow and ambiance to highlighting the deeper emotional
meanings of the rituals.
Since music is so important to your wedding ceremony,
I always advise hiring an experienced, professional
group or DJ to handle it. Qualified, well-researched
musicians will be able to tailor the music in real time
to fit what is going on in your mandap ceremony, which
will help one part flow effortlessly into the next.
Also, you’ll find it truly ties together all of
the visual and verbal elements, from your grand arrival
to the vidai, with timeless style and class.
Your experienced wedding music service provider will
be able to play appropriate songs in the right places.
The first decision you should make that will guide you
in your choices is whether you want your music to be
traditional, modern Hindi film soundtrack or classical
based. The professional music provider you hire should
have a supply of music from both categories in their
repertoire.
It is essential that you carefully choose music for
your wedding ceremony. A good selection can mean the
difference between a dis-jointed ceremony and a flowing,
emotional experience. Music serves as a transition between
the parts in the ceremony and can highlight the deeper
meaning of the wedding ceremony
Hire a band or musician. Look for an experienced professional
that has played at wedding ceremonies before. Pick someone
you can communicate with well and will be able to help
you choose the best songs to play.
