Wedding Day Music & MC Plan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you decide to hire a wedding coordinator, they may help you plan your entire wedding day. We will coordinate with your wedding coordinator to ensure your wedding day runs according to your vision.

 

If you choose not to hire a wedding coordinator, no problem. When you book with us, we will meet in person before the wedding. We will help you create your wedding reception timeline, song preferences, coordinate special moments, and discuss logistics and venue details. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Pre-Ceremony (15-30 minutes)

Music: Light, instrumental, or acoustic background music to set a welcoming atmosphere as guests arrive.
 

My Role: I’ll ensure smooth, continuous music and keep everything on schedule, making any necessary announcements (such as where to sit or any logistical information).

2. Ceremony (30-45 minutes)

Music: Specific songs for the bridal party entrance, bride’s processional, and recessional.
 

My Role: I’ll set up a speaker and cue up the exact tracks as planned, timed perfectly with your walk down the aisle. I’ll also handle microphone setup for the officiant and for you to give your wedding vows.
