Music has become an integral part in a wedding celebration. From the walk down the aisle to entertaining your guests during the drinks reception, creating the right ambience for your wedding breakfast and of course the all-important first dance!
Ceremony music for example, you will need more music than you think! Our suggestions are -
A 20 minute playlist for while you guests are waiting -
1 Entrance Track
2 Tracks for signing your paperwork
1 Upbeat Exit Track
If you are providing your ceremony music on your phone, be sure to
Put the tracks on separate playlists so your Guests Waiting music doesn't flow into your aisle walk music
Download all tracks so the phone/tablet can be put on airplane mode so no notifications come through!
