HELP: Ipod Ceremony??


Recommended Posts

We are using an ipod for our music. As we get closer my mind is spinning with questions.

 

How did you manage the ipod during the ceremony?

*Did you put someone in charge of changing the music?

*Did you make a special play-list with shortened versions of the songs?

*Did you play the song have walkers walk and then change the song or let the song run through.

 

I figured we would just make a play-list titled reception to play throughout is that what you did?

 

Songs for the ceremony?

1 for family (parents?)

1 for BM's

1 for ME

1 for end

 

Does that sound right?

 

Thanks so much!

We had an ipod for the reception and had playlists titled dinner music and party music. Our first song was also in a separate playlist. our best man handled the music, except a word of caution once people saw we were using an ipod everyone brought theirs and our playlist went out the window. We still had fun and I wouldn't change it, but there were some songs I wanted played that didn't get played.

We are using our ipod. We have a cousin who is going to run it for us. I'm going to make a playlist. We'll have 1 song for parents. Once they are seated he will just switch to the next song, etc. We're having 1 song for parents, 1 for bridal party, 1 for me of course, and then a recessional.

 

We are also using our ipod for cocktail and reception. Although I have 3 ipods! I bought the very 1st shuffle when it came out, then the nano when it came out and now I have an iTouch so we're just going to put ceremony music on one and then the rest on another so we don't have some time go by w/ out a song. He'll just play the recessional all the way out and it will stop and when it stops he'll be ready at the sound system to start the other for cocktail.

We are doing the iPod thing too. Right now I am going with a few songs while people are arriving, then the BM's song, my song, Signing of the certificate song (Signed, Sealed, Delivered!), and then the recessional. I'm going to do a site inspection next week so I am going to time the walk to see if I need a song for the BMs and one for me or just one for all of us.

The resort we are staying at works with a DJ company, but we didnt want a DJ, all we wanted was a speaker system and someone to make sure the music kept flowing all night long. we bought a package for $400 that includes a sound system and a person to keep the music flowing. I thought that was a reasonale price. We wanted all our guest to have a good time so we didnt want to ask someone to man the ipod all night. We are still working on a play list. What I was planning on was doing a few playlist IE: Cocktail, Dinner, first dances, party tunes. on our wedding website we ask poeople to put down a few of their favorite songs so that we could add them to the palylist. I am thinking of buying a new ipod, just to keep things organized.

I am working on finalizing music and this is my biggest question...

 

How do you get a smooth transition between songshuh.gif

 

I don't want a song to be in the middle of the chorus and then there be an abrupt change to another song. Because of this I was thinking about using classical music for parents seating, groomsmen walk, FI walk and bridesmaid walk. This way I don't have to worry about transition. BUT if someone has advice on how to make the transition work and not seem like WOW, THEY JUST SWITCH THE SONG. I would love to hear it.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
