Wedding music spans a wide range of energy levels. Ceremony and cocktail hour music is often slow to moderate tempo (60-100 BPM), featuring acoustic instruments like piano, strings, or acoustic guitar. Reception music builds to higher energy (100-130 BPM) with full band or DJ production, including drums, bass, and synths for dancing. The key is versatility: soft and romantic for intimate moments, upbeat and lively for partying.
Wedding music is used throughout the entire event: during the ceremony (processional, recessional), cocktail hour (soft background), dinner (mellow classics), first dance (romantic song), parent dances, and reception/dance party (high-energy hits). It’s also played during special moments like cake cutting and bouquet toss.
