Music Selection

    While the aesthetics of a wedding ceremony certainly enhance its ambiance, the music fully evokes the meaning behind it. From traditional bridal marches and wedding processions to more contemporary songs attached to poignant memories, the music encapsulates each perfect moment. At Chapel in the Pines, we encourage you to select the songs you feel will be most fitting in celebrating your wedding day. Though we do carry a our own collection musical pieces commonly used for weddings, we would love to further personalize your ceremony with melodies of your favorites that will capture the beginning of your life together.  We have a traditional wedding music selection and a few other popular wedding songs below.

    We will play prelude music and music after the ceremony.  Generally there are two to four music selections you will need to decide on, 1. bridal party, 2. bride, 3. unity (if you choose one, most don’t), and 4. a recessional music.  If you are undecided you may choose traditional wedding music, or you may just want traditional.   If the music is on our list, you may email me your choices or advise when you come for your wedding or rehearsal if you have one.  Please advise if you will be bringing in a music file.

    If you prefer something other than what we provide, please bring the music on a CD or a flash drive and our staff will coordinate the music with the ceremony.  If you are using a flash drive, it must be formatted to FAT32 format. We recommend using a blank flash drive as all files will be erased and the music file must be in MP3 format.  Please, no file folders. Our DJ system cannot open a file folder.  Please test your CD or flash drive in our music system before your big day. Here is a link: https://www.wikihow.com/Format-FAT32. The samples below are well worth considering and can give you a good place to start in narrowing down the options for your special day.
