I usually play 30 minutes prior to the start of the Wedding my Victoria Secrets Angel Music CD. I'm looking to come up with some additional great Prelude Music. Anybody have any input?

The sountrack to 'Somewhere In Time'. I get lots of compliments on it.

Any opinions on which is better .................................................. .....................

Songs without words for the Prelude Music or Songs with the words in them?

instrumentals

Most weddings that I'm involved with, are in some beautiful courtyard or garden.

The theme is going to be "CLASSICAL" in most cases, which is why I stick with the bride's theme.

However, a recent wedding required that I play "Classic Vocals" prior to the ceremony: Ella, Nat King Cole, Frank, Tony Bennett, Billie Holiday, etc.
Got a lot of compliments at that one!

Even though this was great as a change of pace--- I prefer instrumentals of classical variety: it tells everyone "This is a wedding, beotch!"

Is this Victoria's Secret CD you mention any good? What kind of music is on it?

Did you get it free with some lingerie???

Google Victoria Heavenly Music for Angels. The cover of the CD has a girl kneeling with wings on.

Victoria Secret puts out some nice CDs.

I usually play classical using songs from several Cds there are also some good Cds that come to mind.
Vladimir Horowitz "Beethoven Sonatas",
Cecile Licad "Rachmaninoff Concerto 2"
Classic Film Music-Quintessence (Compilation of 9 great classicals)
I also play Traditional Instrumental Jazz
I also play some New Age such as stuff by Andreas Vollenweider
It just depends on the clients and the setting.
