Ceremony Music
Traditionally, music for the ceremony is soft and relaxing. When signing the register, it is
acceptable to play a popular love song or classical piece, as long as it is peaceful and
relaxed. The selected piece for your departure from the ceremony should be something
a bit more upbeat and triumphant, celebrating your marital union.
Reception Music
Entertainment for the reception is another individual choice. Some couples choose to
have live music such as a band or vocalist. For the more budget conscious, DJs are a
popular low-cost option. Some Hamilton DJs offer lights, dry ice and other special
effects to put guests in a dancing mood. Hamilton, Burlington and Oakville have an
extensive selection of live entertainment and DJs available, so shop around.

Budget permitting, some couples have chosen to hire musicians and a DJ to play
alternately throughout the evening. You can also look into hiring a vocalist, string quartet
harpist, pianist, jazz band or other live entertainment. Regardless of your choice the
