3. How can you help the couple prepare for their big day?
Check the official policy of the Church, they may have restrictions on what type of music is acceptable at the Wedding Ceremony. Always meet with the singers/musicians that you have choose to perform to disgust arrangement.
4. Any wedding tips?
When deciding what Singers/musicians you are booking for your wedding day make sure you go see them perform live, I’ve heard of situation where couple book an Act to perform at their wedding & the preception does not live up to the performance.
Church Ceremony Tips :
As guests are arriving into the church before the ceremony begins, to create a relaxed & romantic atmosphere have your singer/musician play 1/2 songs, don’t have people sitting in silence.
Also when you have decided on whats songs/hymns that you having at your Church Ceremony make sure that you have spoke to the priest who is conducting the ceremony, that he is happy with the selection. Hymns are more appropriate for certain sections of the Wedding ceremony ie Psalm, Offertory, Communion. At the signing of the register the Ceremony is, technically speaking, over, so at this stage more contemporary songs can be selected. I also advise couples to listen to the songs they have choose make sure that the lyrics are appropriate, you can always change some lyrics in a songs to make it more suitable if there is a particular song that you really wish to have.
