Music for your big day

[vlkleinh]

Did the violinist play this song? or did you have it over a sound system? LOVE it.

I walked down the aisle to "the luckiest" by Ben Folds...when I hear it now, I go right back to walking out the door to the deck

It is the song that plays in my video below

I am having an Escape wedding at the Wedding Pavilion and I am also interested in if there is a list of the songs that the organist and violinist can play - does such a list exist and/can you request something specific and they will try accomdate your request by learning the song (within reason of course)

It's not set in stone yet, but here's what I'm tossing around.

I love the idea of the "Princess Bride" theme, Bob Marley, and Dave Matthews, but I'm not sure how it will go with the 40's Jersey Shore and 40's Hawaiian theme we have going on.

But these I'm sure of:

Bride: "At Last" - Etta James
Recessional: "Ain't That a Kick" - Dean Martin
Last Song of Reception: "Thanks for the Memories" - Bob Hope

DF is still deployed and we just got started with the planning, so there's time to figure it all out.

My DD had "Flying" by James Newton Howard (also used in Disney's "Year of a Million Dreams" commercials) as the processional for both her and the bridesmaids. The recessional was "Strawberry Swing" by Coldplay (which I noticed another poster also had).

 

[Skylersmommy5]

Anyone have suggestions for a cake cutting song? Doesn't have to be a Disney song. It's the last music decision I have to make!

We're using Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me" for our Cake Cutting song. We're totally untraditional, and both my DH and I love the song.

 

[Skylersmommy5]

The only songs I know of right now that we're using are:
Grandparents& Parents(yes we're having the parents-my stepmom & dad as well as DH's parents walk down together) to Over the Rainbow-What a Wonderful World

Bridesmaids, Groomsmen, MoH's (my mom is in this mix) best Men, our son & nephews to Enigma's Returnto Innocense

DH & I will be walking down the isle together to the John Stamos version from the show Full House of The Beach Boys song Forever

our Sand Ceremony with DS will be to Circle of Life

Our Recessional will be the Winona version of Burning Love(from Lilo & Stitch)

Our First Dance is Bon Jovi's Thank You For Loving Me

My Father/Daughter Dance will be Billy Ray Cyrus(just him not Miley version) Ready, Set, Don't Go

My Mother/Son Dance Song with DS will probably be the Kenny Loggins version of Baby Mine(from Dumbo)

Our last Dance Song is Aerosmith's I Dont Want to Miss a Thing

 

[Skylersmommy5]

We're also going to have Our entrance to our Reception be Bon Jovi's Livin on a Prayer

our Family Dance will be Rod Stewart's Forever Young

and of course our Cake Cutting Song will be Def Leppard's Pour Some Sugar on Me

 

[daisygirl902]

Groom Entrance: Whistle Stop (Robin Hood)
MOH: You'll be in my Heart (Tarzan)
Bride: When you wish upon a star (I want them to play the "Wishes" version if possible"
Sand Ceremony: A whole new world
Processional: Zip a dee doo dah
Cake cutting: Anything Disney!

We started out with a Disney Medley for our guests being seated. The last song they played before the wedding began was going to the Chapel. I got so excited when that song came on!!

Then my grandmother and the mother's came in to Love is A Song.

Groom and party came in to A Whole New World

Maid of Honor came in to A Dream is a Wish

I came in with my parents to When You Wish Upon a Star.

The recessional was Somewhere Over the Rainbow (the Hawaiian version)

 

[Saraheg2107]

We are having tons of trouble picking music out.

The only definites so far are that I am walking down the aisle to strings playing Edelweiss (The Sound of Music is my all time favorite movie) and that our first dance is going to be to the song "Then" by Brad Paisley.

DF wants to get Bella Notte in there somewhere also.

Did the violinist play this song? or did you have it over a sound system? LOVE it.

Sorry..I just saw this.

We had a pianist on the cruise ship. I got the sheet music and gave it to my WC about a month before the wedding and she emailed it to him.

He was playing in the clubs and our onboard WC arranged for us to meet with him before his session. I brought another copy of the sheet music to the ship with a full version and a shortened version. He played the full right away (don't know why I was shocked..but I burst into tears at the amazing job he did) in the club.

I did make a back up CD of the instrumental only I found and carried it on the ship.

ETA - PM me if you would like the sheet music..I still have the email I sent my WC

 

[GirTheGecko]

I want to use all Alice Cooper music. I'm a huge fan, so it's fitting and the df doesn't care, he just wants me to show up.

 

[keenercam]

We used:
Seating Guests -- Love Theme from “Somewhere in Time”; “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes”; “Rhapsody on the Theme” by Paganini

Groom's Mom's entrance -- "Baby Mine"

Minister (dear friend), Best Man (our son) & Groom -- "You've Got a Friend in Me"

Maid of Honor (our daughter) -- Pachelbel's Canon in D (from our original wedding)

My entrance -- Excerpt from "To the Stars"

Exit - -"When You Wish Upon a Star"

Even now, 14 months later, I wouldn't change any of these choices; I thought they sounded beautiful. All were played on the WP organ except "To The Stars" which I'd burned to a CD
