Wedding Ceremony Music????

[DMickey28]

We are getting married on the beach on St. Thomas in two weeks. As it stands we are just having a boom box with the traditional music cd for the Canon in D and the Here comes the Bride....

I have the chance to have a steel drum/guitar duo do it for $325 for the hour we are there. There are nine people attending the wedding....

Listening to the duo gave me goose bumps and I can see it, however all the wedding music gives me goosebumps. I am afraid that the cd boom box will be cheesey.....what if it gives a tinny noise, not deep like those pieces deserve?

What would you do???

I would go for the steel drum band. That will fit in really nicely with your wedding on the beach. I'm not sure how a boom box will sound outside on the beach. I think the sound of the ocean might drown it out. You might want to ask at the resort (or wherever your wedding is) what other people do. I think the band sounds like a great idea. If you really like them, I doubt you'll be disappointed that you didn't have traditional music. By the way, can I just say how jealous I am of your beach wedding!!!!

If you have the extra money, I'd have the live music. It would be perfect for your island wedding and I always rather live music to recorded for those kinds of events.

Hope you have a wonderful wedding! A friend of mine got married in St. Thomas a year ago and her pictures were beautiful.

I'd do the live music, too. It's your only wedding day, do it right! Sounds awesome!

I agree with everyone else - if you can swing it, go with the live music. That will sound great! And you'll be really glad you did it.
