Riu Brides...bringing own music...

[ToBeMitchell]

I haven't even started thinking about music. Is it totally lame if there is no music? I like the idea of beachy music. Yikes- now I'm nervous.

There is no need to worry. It doesn't take long. We just down loaded some music off I Tunes and made a CD. It took 2 hours. You have lots of time if you decide to go that route. If not you can use the music RMB has.

hey girls, i'm sure this has been asked before but i don't have the patience to go thru all the threads right now....

 

for the ceremony music, does it have to be on a cd or can we bring an iPod with proper adapter i should probably just put it on a cd in case the wc isn't too tech savvy, right? haha

You know what...I would bring both just to be safe. I am making a cd (I only have three songs) but bringing my ipod with the music too just incase the cd is not compatible. Better to be safe than sorry .

I had a cd with 18 songs total and my iPod was loaded with the same songs on a separate play list...

I brought along an Ipod with all the wedding music I could muster. I had a duplicate playlist on my bridesmaid's Ipod in case of emergency. I only needed two songs for the ceremony.

1. Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

2. All My Life by Kci and Jojo

 

I also saved $1000 by using Ipod playlists in lieu of DJ. I had 12 songs for the cocktail hour. 3 for the first dance and toasts and 20 songs for dinner and the rest of the reception.

THANK-YOU so much for asking this, I have no idea what to do about the music, leaving Jan 2 so should probably get on it but procrastination won out on this

OMG! I haven't even thought of music. What do they play the music on? Do you need to bring a stereo? Are you bringing an ipod? Help!!

There is a CD player that you can use. Just give your cd's to Chandlyn, in the order that you would like them played, (make sure you label them if you're bringing more than one) and she will handle it at your ceremony.
Lots of brides have used their ipod as well, with their own ipod docking station, although it was recently discovered that the CD can be used for this too.
