To plan your wedding music more-or-less painlessly, it helps to start by tackling three big decisions on style before looking at sources for different sorts of wedding music - sacred versus secular, where you'll use music in the ceremony and what tone you want to set with your music.

We know taking the dance floor for the ceremonial first dance as husband and wife can be as nail-biting an activity as meeting the in-laws. Everyone you’ve invited will be watching and if you’re stepping on your bride’s white shoes or counting “one, two, three, one, two, three,” no one will be able to tell how happy you truly are. As they say in the old commercials, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Wedding music is the issue where tradition and creativity meet, mingle, and sometimes clash. On our third date, my husband made me promise that, if we ever got married, Pachelbel's Canon in D, Clarke's Trumpet Voluntary, and Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" would not be played. This suited me just fine, but for many people, it's not a wedding if at least one of these tunes doesn't fill the air.
In the very old days, when everyone knew how to waltz, the "first dance" was simply the moment when the bride and groom opened the evening's dancing by taking a turn around the floor together. After a few minutes, the groom's father cut in, leaving the groom to ask the bride's mother to dance. Then the happy couple danced with their own parents, and before you knew it, the dance floor was full. The music was played without lyrics, so the only question in choosing it was "does it have a good beat and can you dance to it?"
The options available to you in choosing your wedding reception music are endless? How do you find out what's right for you and your guests? It's easy to assume that all bands and DJs are the same. Sadly, it's not that easy. Standards vary widely. The lists in the phone book are endless, so how do you find what's right for you?
