An inexpensive and beautiful Classical Wedding
The image of a classical wedding conjours up a string quartet on the lawns while everyone sips Champagne, but hiring a classical quartet or orchestra (it doesn't seem right to call them a band) can set you back hundreds if not thousands.
So, where do you go when you are searching for cheap classical music? In the age of music downloads your wedding music could be an enter key away.
When I got married and although it was only 10 years ago, civil ceremonies had only just started and if you wanted to find the perfect wedding track you had to manually search. I spent hours searching at the local library, charity shops and my parent's record collection for our perfect classical wedding track and ended up choosing Dreaming, Scenes of Childhood by Schuman.
Now, you can buy wedding compilation cds or download your music online, this gives you a huge choice. You can then take your mp3 player to the venue and ask them to play the track from there. It would be worth checking with the venue that their system can cope with the music this way as wedding venues are notorious for not being up to date with technology.
If you have a friend who is into music you could ask them to compile a playlist for the whole wedding reception, saving you a fortune on live music. You could even lose the evening entertainment if the playlist is good enough.
Always worth checking what songs have been put together as left to their own devices friends have an amazing ability of adding in things like the birdie song for the amusement factor! Don't say you weren't warned!!
