If you are having a Costa Rica wedding band perform for your special day, there are many choices of songs that you can discuss beforehand. The band should know well in advance if you have any particular songs that you would like to hear so they can make sure it is prepared and will sound great for your wedding. Or you can leave it to the band to pick songs on your behalf. Experienced bands will know which songs would be appropriate for the occasion.
There are different stages of a wedding that the band should be prepared for:
Prelude music: Played prior to the ceremony, while guests are arriving.
Processional & Bridal music: Played during the time the family, wedding party, and the bride walk down the aisle.
Recessional music: Music played as the new husband and wife walk up the aisle together.
First Dance music: First dance as husband and wife.
Father/Daughter music: The dance between the new bride and her father.
Mother/Son music: The dance between the husband and his mother.
Bridal Party Dances music: The dance including the Bride & Groom, Bridesmaids & Groomsmen, and family members.
Cutting The Cake music: Played while the Bride & Groom cut the cake.
Garter And Bouquet Toss music: Played during the bouquet toss and garter toss.
Last Dance music: The last song of the night for the Bride & Groom and their remaining guests.
Sometimes the bride and groom prefer to have recorded music for the ceremony, especially if they want a difficult classical piece, such as Handel’s Water Music or Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
