Tune up the music in your wedding ceremony


I know about weddings ceremonies! Over 21 years, I have been a Toronto wedding Officiant and I have some great musical ideas. For your wedding ceremony, consider a beautiful string quartet or a delightful jazz trio playing your favourite song in a classical manner. This song might be a slowed down version and styled to suit your grand entrance down the aisle. A couple I worked with loved the Star Wars series. They had a string quartet play an arrangement of the opening credit music. It was delightful! 

Can you imagine the surprise factor as your wedding guests arrive and walk down the musical red carpet? The guests loved it! This is the elegant entrance of Graydon Hall Manor, a very sophisticated location for Toronto wedding ceremonies and celebrations.
Or you might think about hiring a few voices from a community choir to sing a cappella? When this has been done during some of my past Toronto wedding services in the city and the GTA, I must tell you, both the couple and the wedding guests adored it! This is something very unique that does not happen very often in our lives. You are going to be pleasantly surprised how reasonably priced the fees are for choir members to sing at your wedding.

Classical music may be more appropriate for the beginning of the ceremony and the signing event. But I certainly suggest moving into much more upbeat music selection as the ceremony progresses. This can set the tone for a light, fun celebration ahead. Music is the magical ingredient that adds sparkle, beauty, and creativity to your special day and your ceremony. The current trend for Toronto wedding couples is to choose it carefully and with some creative thought. Put your best ideas, your sense of humour and blended creativity and organize a memorable wedding service together. You both will be glad you did and so will your delighted guests!
