Music at the ceremony

Music is an integral part of the ceremony. Live music or a good connection to a box, it doesn't matter. As long as it is there. Overall, there are 3 important music moments:

  • The turnout
  • Drawing (possibly already started with the kiss and rings)
  • Your departure

Music at the rise

The music really sets the mood for the start of the ceremony. It guarantees tears of emotion or tears of laughter. It is important that you stay very close to yourself here. On Spotify, you'll find a huge number of wedding ceremony playlists. Have a nice evening together and go through this together. Is there a song that you both have a special feeling about or do you each choose your own song? It's all possible.

Music when drawing

After the kiss and the rings, it's time to sign the acts. This can always take up to a few minutes and you notice that the guests will whisper a bit to each other. To ensure that there is no awkward silence and that you give the guests the opportunity to chat softly (without drowning out the music), put on a nice song here. Make sure you let these run or pick out 2, at least there will be background music all the time.

It can also be fun to put on a song with the kiss to start the festive feeling right away. You can then let it run until the acts are signed.

Music when you leave

Once the acts have been signed, the ceremony is almost complete. To bring it to a good end, the wedding official will say the first congratulations, close the ceremony and of course... present you as the married couple (possibly with the adopted last name). Extra fun to turn on a smashing song at the moment, so you can walk away festively and bring the right atmosphere to the drinks right away.

Please note

If you're using a box, make sure the person controlling the music knows how to “fade out” the song. Like making the sound slow down until it's off, instead of turning off the song all at once.

Vows

Vows make the ceremony extra personal. But where do you start and what do you actually say?
