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.
