TO P T I P S CH O O S IN G YO U R W ED D IN G M U S I C

1 . CH E CK T H E R U L E S Often civil ceremonies won’t allow religious music of any kind and conductors of church ceremonies like to pre approve anything non religious. Always check with your venue or registrar to make sure.

2 . CH E CK T H E LY R I C S Make sure to check the lyrics to any song you may choose carefully eg: Adele’s classic “Someone Like You” is about a moving on after a breakup and Whitney’s “I Will Always Love You” is all about divorce!

3 . CH E CK T H E L E N G T H Some songs can be very short and typically the signing of the register takes seven to eight minutes to complete! Don’t get caught short - have at least two if not three songs ready just in case things take longer.

4 . CH E CK T H E T I M I N GS How long will it take you to walk down the aisle? On average it’s about a minute so make you’ve selected the right part of the song for your entrance... not 45 seconds of an intro that means nothing.

5 . CH E CK YO U R P H O N E If you’re going to use an iPhone or iPad to play music make sure it’s in “airplane mode”. There’s nothing worse than having a text, email or even an incoming call come through over the PA for all to hear!
