What type of music should I choose?

What style wedding are you going to have? Traditional, eclectic, religious, or a mix of a couple of these? If you can define the "feel" for the ceremony that you are trying to convey to your guests, then choosing music will be much easier. A professional musician, usually the one bringing the musicians to your wedding, will be able to make suggestions quickly and easily based on the style wedding you tell her you want to have. Rely on tunes that your guests will easily recognize, and you will have a truly beautiful day without the headache of hours of music planning!

Try not to mix too many styles. For instance, don't start with classical music in the prelude, send the bridesmaids down the aisle to " All You Need Is Love" and then have the bride enter to the traditional "Wedding March" by Wagner. You need to keep a cohesive feel to the whole ceremony.

Does that mean you can't "rock out" like crazy at the reception? Absolutely not! Go for it! This is the time to bring in the DJ and "let it all hang out!" Don't worry about changing styles after the ceremony is over.
