Rafi Michael asked:
Wedding ceremonies are times of reflection, laughter and sometimes tears, albeit of joy. A music performance and the entire music of the occasion can go a long way to stirring these emotions. Most couples do not forget the music played in their Toronto weddings. More than any other moment in life, a music track must have a personal touch and style. Having traditional elements of music that has been around for centuries, in a wedding will make the occasion even more memorable.
Many Toronto weddings hire wedding DJs to make the occasion livelier. Most of them have a wide exposure to the variety of modern music played in clubs and on other occasions. Some however, have incorporated traditional music into wedding performances with amazing success. Traditional music played in weddings is usually classical music in the style of the 1700s. Some DJs incorporate present-day hip together with classical masterpieces in many Toronto weddings. Other alternatives to traditional nuptial music would include hiring a band to perform classical pieces in front of a live audience or a jazz band to play contemporary pieces of our modern age. Since these alternatives have more experience in classical content, hiring them over DJs, especially in a plush ceremony, would seem to be a better option.
However, many DJs, especially in Toronto weddings have shown to be competent in playing classical pieces with the turntables and giving the same experience as a band. Besides, it costs a lot cheaper to hire a DJ than a band and many people would love to cut ceremony costs. Another reason why many are hiring Toronto wedding DJs is the growing popularity of cocktail style receptions. This is a good way to have a different kind of a party.
To have such a traditional ballroom style ceremony, Toronto wedding DJs are hired to play music that takes the audience to the traditional experience without the need for a band. A cocktail wedding with a DJ playing traditional music will allow the audience to interact more by pushing music to the background. Toronto wedding DJs are also able to incorporate other varieties of music and avoid the guests feeling restless.
Whatever style a couple decides to use, an experienced Toronto or Missisauga DJ will most likely suit the occasion. A DJ does not need to know how to play traditional music, unlike a band, to give a stunning performance. All he needs to do is play it at the right time and at the right tempo. Since many Toronto wedding DJs have had exposure to these nuptial styles, hiring them will not be a disappointing experience.
Toronto weddings incorporate a variety of styles of classical music. Jazzy cocktails employ an assortment of jazz pieces with that martini twist. Classical cocktails use soothing and upscale classical selections while hip cocktails employ a mixture of music styles from blues to classical and jazz background pieces. A DJ is hired in most cases to blend the different styles harmoniously. Whichever style is chosen, a Mississauga or Toronto wedding DJ will most likely feel the need.

Howard Stuart asked:
South Florida wedding ceremonies are performed against a steady backdrop of exotic locales, including beaches, yachts, historic buildings, city and tropical locations. And the right classical music can really set the stage for a romantic, memorable wedding ceremony.
Talent notwithstanding, there is more to performing wedding ceremony music than a musically talented performance. While there may be many superbly talented musicians in our schools and conservatories, performing a wedding ceremony requires professionalism and a musical timing that many students have yet to attain.
Classical Musicians
Classical musicians always add an air of romance and tradition to any wedding ceremony. There are several different musical styles of classical music you may want to consider in selecting music for your South Florida wedding ceremony. Pieces such as “Canon in D Major” by Pachelbel is arguably the most popular processional music for weddings.
A harpist with a flute player, (referred to as a “flautist”) are among the most popular instrumentation, often with the addition of a cellist. String quartets, trios, Woodwind quintets and brass choirs are sometimes used for dramatic effect.
Band Musicians Offer Flexibility
Many ceremonies are also performed by the keyboardist and woodwind player from the band that will play dance music at the reception. These musicians can perform classical pieces using orchestral sounds, in addition to the flautist. They can then switch to jazz piano and sax for the cocktail hour, in contrast to the ceremony music. It can also be more cost effective to use the band musicians at the ceremony.
As your guests arrive, “prelude” music is often played to set the stage and create the atmosphere for the ceremony about to take place. It is important for the musicians to set the tone, as well as be sensitive to the crowd and the venue.
Timing Is Everything
In performing music during the wedding procession, the musicians must be able to time the music’s tempo, start, ending, as well as be able to go into a “holding pattern” if necessary to accommodate the length and pace of the ceremony processional.
They must also be able to create a musically dramatic moment upon the entrance of the bride. This moment is amongst the most memorable at any wedding ceremony, and must be well-executed for maximum effect.
The recessional, or trip back down the aisle at the conclusion of the ceremony is a time for celebration, and this should be reflected in the musical selection. You may opt for a traditional piece by Mendelssohn, or perhaps an upbeat Jewish piece in the case of a temple wedding.
Can You Hear Me Now?
Depending on the size of the crowd, as well as the setting (indoors or outdoors for example), the musicians may be required to amplify their instruments to be heard. Many harpists have an elaborate system of contact microphones installed on their instruments, while many violinists and cellists use a clip-on microphone strategically placed.
When making a decision on hiring a wedding orchestra in South Florida for your wedding ceremony, keep in mind they generally have a two hour minimum, so more than likely they’ll be performing at your cocktail hour as well. You may want to make sure the classical musicians can play a variety of popular songs, including jazz standards, ethnic melodies, and show tunes. Amplification is a must for the acoustic instruments to be heard over the noise of people chatting and eating.
South Florida wedding musicians can be auditioned via audio CD, or from a website if the audio quality is good. It is very difficult to go to someone else’s wedding ceremony to hear them in person, so recommendations by music companies or wedding planners can be helpful in your decision. Be aware that sometimes these wedding professionals may make a commission on their recommendations, so educate yourself as to the reputation of the person you’re taking advice from.
Selecting the best South Florida wedding music for your ceremony can be fun and exciting, and should always include professionals in the industry to assist in making the right choice for your needs and desires. Having wonderfully talented musicians perform for your ceremony can create a magical experience you and your guests will long remember.
