Avoiding a Music Disaster on your Wedding Day

Music is everything at any event.  Music will set the mood and attitude of your wedding.  At your wedding:

  • The song playing as you walk down the aisle will frame the moment where you begin a new chapter in your life
  • The songs during your ceremony makes your guests excited to share in special day
  • The song played during your first dance tells your love story

With all the different types technology - MP3s, IPODs, DJ software, Itunes, etc., there is bound to be a few flubs due to human error or compatibility issues. 

Make sure you have all the special songs for your ceremony and wedding burned on a CD just in case your DJ is having technical difficulties.  Give the back up CD to your wedding planner, maid of honor/best man, or a good friend for safe keeping in case a technical difficulty arises.

If you’re using the church’s sound system, do a trial run with their staff at the rehearsal.  No one wants to walk down the aisle in silence, to the wrong song, or from the tiny speaker of a portable CD player or IPOD.

As Rihanna says, "Please don’t stop the music!"
