Songs for Wedding Ceremony as people are seated???

I originally planned to use a lot of VSQ.

Hi Brooklynn!

This is completely based on your personal preference! Weddings I’ve been at previously typically had something instrumental in the background for ambience.

Will you have musicians playing this music? Or will you use a playback?

If you’re using playback music, such as Spotify, as the previous poster mentioned, Vitamin String Quartet is a great option! Or you could find some instrumental version of the Chrisitan songs you love and create a playlist!

I'd never heard of VSQ before today, thanks to PP who suggested it! Love their stuff and will be snagging this for our day in August.

Ditto! Thanks for sharing

Same here never heard of VSQ but thanks for the question and tips.

We are using Disney instrumental songs for our entire ceremony and background music beforehand. I like that they are fun and that some people may recognize them but not all.

MY dad usually plays the playlist he created that has covers by vitamin string quartet. I made a playlist on youtube of covers by Brooklyn Duo. (husband and wife piano & cello.. so beautiful) and downloaded the songs onto my laptop so I can give my DJ my pre-wedding playlist.

This was super helpful for me!

I'm just doing a selection of classical pieces that I find beautiful. Clare de Lune, Canon in D, Bach's Cello Concerto in G Major, etc.

I'll give the list to my DJ, who will have these playing in the background as guests arrive.

I am requesting christian songs with vocals and instrumental romantic ballads.

I think this is more common in church ceremonies rather than at venues. Can't you just ask them to play regular church tunes? haha Or just look up some christian songs/instrumental music! Most venue weddings I have been to they didn't start music til the processional started.

Hi all, we're doing VSQ for the seating. Found some really great light rock/ indie/ folk compilations on youtube - Alexrainbirdmusic, we're using one playlist in it's entirety for cocktail hour and maybe another for dinner.

I've also never heard of VSQ, that's a great find! Thank you for sharing.

I looked up VSQ, awesome! Good question and responses!

In Christ Alone is a good one!

I am having a live string duo play Nintendo nes music, rock songs and contemporary pop songs. It's whatever you want. It's meant to be relaxing and fun. The purpose is to keep everyone from looking around and getting anxious. It also gives a nice conversational point.

I was just going to
let the DJ play soft music.

Hi Brooklynn! Have you made your playlist? Did your venue recommend what other couples usually do? Are you happy with the plan now?

I am doing instrumentals for my processional (I think that is the term). But with it being in Church you probably have to ask them what is allowed

So happy I saw this post! I could not figure out what type of music I wanted playing during the ceremony sitting and this is perfect! Thank you!!
