Please Help! Music Driving Me Nuts!!

[StephSFL]

Please help!
Ok. With two weeks left I need help! I am overwhelmed and need suggestions for music for the ceremony and reception!
What do you think would be fun and/or classical music at the ceremony? I am pretty sure we will do Disney music for the prelude, but have no clue for bridesmaids, groomsmen, bridemen, etc.

I am also lost on reception music. I know it all comes down to personel taste, but I am so out of it I can't think what might be good for variety! I have looked at different websites and such and would really appreciate help from past/future brides!
I appreciate any help you can give!

I am using a mix of Disney and traditional music for my ceremony
Prelude - Disney Music with the song before the parents enter being When You Wish Upon a Star
Parent entrance - A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes
Groomsmen - Autumn
Bridesmaids - Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
Bride - Cannon in D
Unity Candle - the Wedding Song (There is Love)
Recessional - Disney Medley

As your EM to send you the demo CD of the organ music for the WP. There are 30 songs on there and it helped me tremendously

For the Reception, When the guests enter the reception room "Be Guest" will be playing.
I am having them play a mixture of Disney Music and Oldies music (slower songs) during dinner.
Then I asked my parents and wedding party for songs they would like to dance to and they manage to come up with a list of over two hundred! I am handing the DJ the list! I can email you my list...but I warn you it is quit long and there is lots of 60', 70's and 80's music

Steph,

New to the boards, but let me see if I can help. I am a wedding disc jockey and could give you suggestions. I could also send you a word doc with the top 200 wedding recepetion songs in the U.S. The list has everything from older standards, newer music, and all of the group dances. Some of the songs, you will love. Some, you will say "not at my wedding", but it should give you ideas of where to start and will jump start your brain.

If your interested, let me know.

To everyone else: as a Disney enthusiast and wedding professional I have really been enjoying this site. I have been searching the archives and reading several of your wedding reports. Seems to be a great place. I will have to visit more often.
