Hi all,

I am trying to get some ideas for the bridal party intro music and also dinner music. All of the websites have the same things.... Please let me know what you are using!

Thanks!

We did something really fun - we had all of our bridal party come in to the song "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" - they danced all around the room and started a conga line to get the party started, then when we entered we jumped right into the conga line complete with flower leis!
...we had everyone dancing before dinner (we had a cocktail hour before so the party was well underway). Then during dinner, we did some chill stuff like Michael Buble (very modern Frank Sinatra sound), John Mayer, Paulo Nutini even Jack Johnson. The music was so great and everyone loved how we had the dancing going before, during and after dinner. The DJ was great and convinced everyone to dance as much as they could...it was good to break things up because we had a 5 course dinner!

The pictures were proof how much fun everyone had...granted it was a destination wedding, but the reception was in an open air ballroom and it had some very traditional wedding elements to it.

Hope this helps!

Intro Music:

One wedding I went to, the came in the reception with "Ray of Light" by Madonna playing. That was pretty cool. I think that "Stary Eyed Suprise" and "Beautiful Day" are good songs as well.
Dinner Music: Should be something really mellow and relaxing.

I just updated my website with information on just this topic. Feel free to check it out at Todays Destination Weddings - Planning - Suggestions

I will be adding a page on cocktail and dinner music in a few days, as it is in process right now.

Best of luck!

I like the Michael Buble and Jack Johnson suggestions, I love them both. Definately something relaxing that people won't have to yell over to talk to each other. Enough to notice it's there, but not notice it's there at the same time.

At our wedding, we plan on having the bridal party introduced to 'come on feel the noise' by Quiet Riot. My FH and I will be introduced to 'we will rock you' by Queen. Can ya tell we're hockey fans? lol
I agree with dinner music being relaxed and light....but not so light were your guests are falling asleep in their salads lol. We plan on having our DJ play a variety of oldies such as The Temptations, Jerry Lee Luis, The Supremes, ect.

I think you need to think of a vibe for the introductions. Are you looking to make it fun and contemporary or, elegant and traditional? If you want to keep it fun you can play anything from Black Eye'd Peas "Let's Get it Started", Natasha Bedingfield "love like this", Madonna "4 minutes" or Classic 70's/80's like "ain't no mountain high enough", "Walking on SUnshine" etc...or you can play old school "Fly me to the moon", "Isn't it Romantic" "just the way you look tonight"

Same thing with background music..what is the feel you are going for? Old school play classics or contemp norah jones, michael buble. I think a nice mix is awesome. If you are using a deejay even consider giving him a CD of your favs ...if it is a band give the bandleader a list of song suggestions for background music.

Music At Your Wedding

Hey, you need to know which mood you want your weddin to be in first...


If you want it subtle, intimate and romantic, you could look for violin instrumentals...


But if you do have your own preference, just think about the mood that you like your wedding to be in. And that's it.



For the intro music, choose one which is closest to you and your hubby's heart.
