You\u2019ve got a lot of options to consider &#8211; not only in terms of the music selection itself, but also the kind of musician or ensemble to play it. Do you want a harpist? A flautist? A string quartet, or Mariachi band? The truth is, you can use recorded music, but having live musicians can be a really nice touch. Keep a few simple rules in mind. First, make sure the choice of musicians is appropriate for the venue. For example, if you plan to have a harpist and your ceremony is outside, make sure that you aren\u2019t underneath the path of low-flying airplanes &#8211; Your guests might never hear a note of music, otherwise. In a church wedding, organists traditionally provide the music, but duets singing Ave Maria or other classic songs are gaining favor with brides. We\u2019ve seen family members who are opera singers lending a hand, or rather, voice, to wedding ceremonies, too. But we\u2019re talking about trained singers. Your wedding is not a time or place for Uncle Al to show off the vocal talents he\u2019s too old to showcase on American Idol. So put a little time into your music selection, and you\u2019ll start your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pleasantdale.com\/weddings-celebrations.html\">wedding ceremony off on the right note<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Best, <\/p>\n<p>Lars<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lars Johnson, General Manager, Pleasantdale Ch\u00e2teau The music selection for your wedding literally sets the tone for the ceremony.
