The Wedding Ceremony – Traditional or Non-Traditional
Traditional wedding or non-traditional wedding ceremony?
The choice is up to you. Just let us know and we will help coordinate and personalize your music. In fact, we have done so many wedding reception ceremonies that we have quite a few suggestions for specialized music.
Some tips to think about when choosing your non-traditional music: Think about a favorite shared musical or movie, perhaps music that comes from your cultural background, or a favorite musical artist. Not all music has to be of the same genre or theme. Choose music that fits your own personal style.
Here are a few ideas for more non-traditional music we have used at ceremonies:
