Whether you're getting married or not, at some point in our lives we've all thought about wedding music, i.e. what song should be played during should play during your entrance, the first dance, or the last dance. heck, even while listening to some random love song, things like "this song would be great for the first dance" would pop into your head. the point of this is, that music is such a powerful thing that it can trigger emotions and build attachments. and you must know how indispensable it is for your wedding. so let's begin!

If you're planning a nighttime wedding, the late hours of your event can take their toll on your guests. as night weddings usually go until late into the evening. having music play in the background as your guests eat, drink, and mingle can help remove any drowsiness your guests might be feeling. so you can go without the caffeine because the ideal wedding entertainment can keep your guest awake.
As we said planning a wedding can be a bit daunting. with the number of weddings that've happened throughout history, it can be hard to make yours different from all others that have been done before.

The usual guest list for a wedding is composed of the family and close friends of the couple. but that doesn't mean that everyone automatically knows each other. or maybe you have relatives who came from really far away and haven't had the chance to get to know some of your family members until your wedding. Music can be a great ice breaker and give them something to talk about, and remove any awkwardness that may arise.
Have you ever been out in public, and suddenly a group of people burst into song? These surprise singers can be found all over the world. Make your wedding more magical by hiring different types of surprise singers for your event.
If the overall functionality of music is not enough to convince you, maybe knowing that it's traditional for music to be played during certain parts of the wedding will. the most basic wedding ceremony music program involves a minimum of three types of songs: preludes, processionals, and recessionals. having music played during these points is indispensable if you want to have that simple traditional wedding. besides, embracing tradition can also make for a gorgeous wedding.
Music in wedding holds importance as it has the power to trigger memories. playing certain songs can make your guests reminisce about their own wedding, or maybe just a pleasant memory of a loved one. Either way, it's a great way to share the happiness you and your significant other currently have. Plus, the perfect song can turn a simple wedding into a memorable one. It's a guaranteed way to make your guests remember your wedding every time they hear one of your songs on the radio.
It's your wedding day, it's already magical as it is. but it can't hurt to add a little more. an evening of celebrating the love you and your fiancé have for each other can always use a little more magic. just imagine the smiles of your loved ones as you sway on the dancefloor for your first dance accompanied by the most beautiful song. it'll be a night to remember.
We probably sound like a broken record at this point, but it can't be helped. Planning the perfect wedding requires great entertainment. and music is the one wedding entertainment that you can't get by without. from setting the mood, adding to the aesthetic, or just a conversation starter. whether you choose a live band, a DJ, a singer with a backing track, or an orchestra, as long as they can provide you with great music for your wedding, you can rest assured that your wedding will be a memorable one.
