Okay girls, I must know how you all know such wonderful diverse music. I have to admit that I am clueless about most of these songs!! I feel so dumb. Is there a website I can go on to hear samples? I am sure I would like to use some of these songs especially the Spanish/Mexican ones.

Ann,

Did you ever get a chance to ask your guests how they liked the Mexican Trio you hired? I am 90% I will hire them which means I wouldn't have to download that much Mexican music. I'd have the authentic version!!

Any Las Caletas bride know how much music I should plan on having for the dinner and reception? I assume the Trio doesn't play during dinner but I'm not so sure!

Thanks

Well I did put my deposit down but I didn't get a timeline of events. Nicole is on vacation this month, but I will have to ask her about that. If you don't mind sending me yours, that would be great. You can PM me if you'd like.

Thank you!!

I haven't decided on my wedding music, but I did recently make a CD of love songs for a CD club I'm in. The way the CD cllub works is there are about 12 of us in it. You make a mixed CD on your month & give it to all 12 members. Its great because you are always hearing new music & learning more about your friends. We go all out with making liner notes, etc. Here are the love songs from my CD. I was trying to find some more alternative, non traditional love songs. Then there are some standards on it too.

1.Scissor Sisters- Might tell you tonight

2.Third Eye Blind – I want you

3.U2- She moves in mysterious ways

4.Beck- Everybody’s got to learn sometime

18.The Verve- Sonnet

1.Deftones- No ordinary love

2.Dave Matthews Band- Crush

3.The Cure- Love song

17.REM- The one I love

18.David Gray- This year’s love

I'm still very much working on our list ... but aside from our first dance and the mother & father songs ... our slow songs are going to be the wedding songs of all of our married guests. We have about 20 couples coming and 2 are celebrating either 10 or 40 year anniversaries during our trip. I thought that would be a nice way to show our appreciation for them coming, by finding out their first dance songs and acknowledging them when it starts to play.

Aaawww what a great idea!
