| Tip #1 : Etiquetely speaking, you must allow no less than 30 minutes for guests to arrive! This may utilize 7-10 songs! Some of these songs are commonly interchanged with a different part of the ceremony! It all depends on your taste and opinion! Also, we can help you coordinate the ceremony along side our fellow vendors by utilizing our 2-Way radio system to create the perfect flow! Also, giving volume to the minister and the two of you is something we can handle for you as well! Have you considered the Sand Ceremony instead of the Candle Lighting? Google Sand Ceremony. |
| Tip #2 This a very common piece used during the ceremony. It is a way to involve the parents and grandparents and give them a sense of being a bigger part of your day! The Unity Candle itself is a piece though that is losing popularity to the Sand Ceremony! First, the candles are quite expensive and usually end up in the attic, the end result for the sand ceremony can be utilized as a constant reminder of the vows you both take and be placed in view in your home for all to see! If you use the Unity candle, be sure to use a wind -resistant lighter , like a Zippo! |

| Tip #3 This part of the ceremony is the longest of the entrances and you must remember to choose a song that gives ample time for entry! Also, remember to have the bridal party enter the reception hall in the same order they walked the aisle! Again, make sure to try and keep the same genre of music throughout to maintain a smooth sounding flow! The bigger ...the better! It is also good to have a rehersal, even if it is in the basement! This is good to do so that everyone knows where and how to stand! |
