A New Wedding Protocol
Have you taken notice that Weddings are becoming much different now a days? I’ve been a DJ for over 10 years and I’ve noticed that the way I use to play music at weddings is changing more so, for the reason that it seems people have become less patient. I’ve took notice that the traditional 4 to 5 hour ceremony and reception is taking a new form:, the Wedding Ceremonies are becoming shorter and more personal instead of the traditional vows for the Bride and the Groom, the huge lavish Bridal Party, the Official (Pastor) reading the vows at a Church, and of course the Guests.
Some are omitting the whole traditional ceremonial layout and tying the knot at a courthouse or in some cases even at a home. It seems that during the wedding reception the amount of time that I would normally play love songs that were meant to set the mood is being shortened. I love playing music with purpose and I believe that most of the older slow songs for weddings were made uniquely to have more meaning for that special day. They really define the meaning of love and where else should they be played but at a wedding where two people who are in love are expressing their true feelings in the company of their family and friends.
Although it is traditional to start the wedding reception off with the slow soft loves songs or maybe some nice smooth jazz, it seems that the guest are becoming restless with the traditional methods. Now traditionally, dancing doesn’t start until after the cake is served, but in some cases some of today’s brides and grooms want to have more lively and fun wedding receptions. So occasionally they alter the normal outline and ask me to kick off the dancing shortly after the main course is served. I’ve always been the type of DJ to pay close attention to crowd reaction while I’m performing at situations, especially marriages to see what sort of music splashes people. Another thing I’ve learned inside my experiences is in a wide-ranging group of folks there will be various taste along with preferences in relation to music alternative. It is definitely genuine that what music will make a lot of people dance, will not likely always be attracting other people. This is why it is important to accept as one development fades, before i forget – sure to climb to take their place equally quickly. Staying up to date for the latest tendencies and tunes is a great solution to adapt to these kind of changing periods.
