Wedding Selection

April 3rd, 2010

The bridal gown ordered. The bridal party assembled. The invitations have been sent out. The flowers selected. The cakes sampled. The menu sorted out. The vendors picked. The entertainment?

The wedding music sets the mood and tone for the ceremony and reception thereafter. Brides encounter a myriad of selections – classical, pop, Broadway, jazz – from which a narrowed-down version ultimately reflects their personal characteristics and style.

When determining which music direction to take, we ask: “Would you classify yourself as a traditional bride? Non-traditional? Modern? Chic? Eclectic?”

We have assembled six different programs below to exemplify six different brides.
