Traditional Ceremonies:
* 30 minutes prior to the ceremony your Raleigh DJ is playing some traditional classical music
* The ceremony begins with the seating of the mothers and grandmothers with something playing like "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"
* The Officiant, the groom, the groomsmen, the bridesmaids, flower girl(s) and ring bearer enter the room to "Canon in D"
* The bride enters the room and slowly makes her way to the alter to "Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin"
* ...and now for the very first time as husband & wife, I introduce to you Mr & Mrs......followed by something like the "Hallelujah Chorus (from the Messiah)" as the couple leaves the church
That would be a beautiful wedding ceremony to be sure, however, it doesn't have to be that way if that doesn't reflect who you are!
I've provided DJ Services for countless wedding ceremonies and have been equally as moved with non-traditional music selections as I have been with traditional. In fact, sometimes it can make the day more special if the music is customized to fit who you are.
A few examples of what I've seen are:
* A full on blues/rock wedding ceremony with Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Pride and Joy" as the bride walks down the isle
* A complete 80's wedding ceremony with Berlin's "Take my Breath Away" as the bride walks down the isle
The most important thing to remember is....there's no wrong or right way to do it - there's only YOUR WAY!
