A wedding is an emotion formed out of love. It’s the most memorable moment in someone’s life. But what makes a wedding special? Apart from love, it’s music. Music can amplify the emotions and happiness at a wedding, making it more memorable.   

Wedding planning requires time and patience. Even if you hire a wedding planner in Perth to handle catering, decorations, flower venues, picking honeymoon destinations, etc., you often get stuck picking out the perfect playlist for your ceremony. Well, don’t worry.  

To guide you through your music playlist, here are some exciting tips you can apply while creating your glorious wedding music. 

 

  1. Plan your day– Visualise the moment you met your partner for the first time. Does that moment remind you of a particular song? If so, make it to the top of your wedding songs playlist. Try to imagine your wedding venue, your beautiful partner, dancing and laughing guests, etc., and set the right music for your ceremony. Your playlist can have something extraordinary other than traditional music that will escort your history and contemporary vibe. Hence, rerun the past and discuss with your partner their musical interests or the kind of music they love. Bring out the commonalities and get creative while picking out the song.  
  1. Wedding venue selection– Before you make any selection, always care to know the details of your venue. Try discussing with your party organisers about the place and create a playlist with songs that will complement your wedding venue. Some wedding halls prefer the traditional form of music. They may allow instrumental songs without any lyrics to be articulated. But a few secular locations don’t qualify for loud music to intervene in their atmosphere. Therefore, you must take the officiant’s review and approval.   
  1. Planning to DIY or DJ-ing– Whether you choose a party DJ or try to DIY, select at least a few “must-play” songs for your first dance or when your partner walks down the aisle. It’s a special moment; you only get it right once. So, if you have hired party organisers, give them the list of songs you want to play during that moment and discuss with your DJ to play the music you want at your wedding reception. But if you decide to DIY, then be sure to keep it in check and plan the event accordingly so that an overly enthusiastic guest does not take over your playlist. 
  1. Wedding music classification– During a Holy Reunion, there are three stages where music marks its significance. 
  • Prelude– When the guests are seated or getting ready before the ceremony, that moment defines as the prelude. During that time, they often prefer listening to a piece of sauntering music that helps them remain calm and build excitement for the ceremony to begin.   
  • The Processional– The guests have been seated, and now the extended wedding party—family and close friends, especially the bride make her way towards the stage. Changing music during the processional is better since you do not want your ceremony to become monotonous. Most people prefer a chorus or soothing voice that makes the entry grander and highlights the drama behind it.  
  • The Recessional– The climax must always be exciting. Since your entry was vibrant, it’s time to make your exit even more striking. Hence, your recessional song must be a bomb so the couple and wedding party can dance through the exit. 
  1. Cocktail party and dinner music– Many couples choose songs according to their significant moments, like the unity candle lighting or during a Ketubah signing, where slow, harmonious music makes the ideal accompaniment. They even have a separate playlist for their cocktail and dinner party, where you can dance your heart out or enjoy delicious food until you are full to the brim. It’s your day, and make it unique the way you want.
  2. Arranging band music– If you are a lover of live music concerts, you will always want to include local or professional bands at your wedding reception. If you are using live music in your ceremony, then it can oomph the excitement to another level. Introducing a band can make your day extra special, as you can request your favourite songs to play on public demand; customisation is the main component for such events. So, if you want to include a music band try searching on Google “live music Perth for weddings” and get a list of all the choices available.

 

Finalising the wedding playlist 

 

The involvement of songs that describe your whole life and of your partner should be your first choice while building a wedding music playlist. A wedding reception generally takes 3-4 hours maximum. And let those 15 songs per hour give you at least 60 pieces for your wedding. If you’ve gone the Route of hiring a DJ, ask them to blend the perfect mix so that you can keep the crowd engaged. But also, give them a memorable top favourite 15 to 20 songs you want to play, especially in the moment of surprise you planned for your partner (like a surprise dance or a surprise cake, etc.), which will make it extra special. Once you’ve decided on your wedding songs, check your playlist twice before you pass it on to someone else. Check each piece briefly so that nothing goes wrong during the ceremony. Always do this process beforehand, like a week or two before, so that you can make changes if necessary.
