The new Dreams Tulum thread! (Post all DT Qs&As here)


Recommended Posts

Cheri - We are having the guitarist play during our ceremony. I never gave it much thought as to how many songs he would play. I only care about the song I am walking down the aisle to.

As for the cocktail hour, we are having the cocktail hour start around 6pm. Our ceremony is at 4pm so we are leaving enough time for us to have pictures taken before sunset and we are also planning on attending the cocktail hour.

Thank you Jerzygirl85!! I think we're going to use the live music for the cocktail hour, but I like your idea of using it for the ceremony! I appreciate your input!

Hi Cheri. Regarding wedding music, I think that I will just have something chill for the other parts leading up to me walking down the asile. :) We are going to have three different sets on our iPhone for the ceremony...mix, march, recessional. What songs are you doing? We are not that traditional, so we are doing 'Sleepwalk' by Santo & Johnny for my processional and David Lee Roth 'Just Like Paradise' for our recessional. Seriously, I am so excited about our music.

 

For cocktails/reception, we are doing the same as joanna and taking the photo break in between. Our ceremony is at 4p and reception at 6:30p. My spin is that we are doing the ceremony, group photos (20 mins) and then while we do family/couple photos our guests are free to get a drink and/or go back to their rooms to freshen up.

 

xo,

tt

 

 

ps. thank you Joanna...I love my save the dates. They are from Etsy vendor Kneeknockers.

Hey Tara! We are not traditional either. As music goes here's what I'm thinking: While everyone is being seated, Over the Rainbow by IZ, Flower girl walking down to My Girl by the Temptations, my 2 ring bearers walking to the Star Wars theme music, me to Tom Petty's Here comes my girl, Chantal's Feels like home as background ceremony music and as we're exiting Jason Mraz's Lucky. What do you think? I'm pretty excited about the music too. The flower girl and ring bearers are our kiddos so it should be fun!

Cheri,

I love your music!!!!! How much fun is that going to be for all of your guests! The kids are going to be so cute and I love the Star Wars Theme at the beach..awesome! I was smiling just reading your post. Are you going to have a wedding favor cd with those songs and others on it?

xoxo,

Thanks for sharing Cheri. Who is your TA? I think we are going to have to dump our current TA and go with somebody that at least seems to know more than me - lol.

How in the world is that going to work? Do I need to bring shortened versions of the songs or will the coordinator know what to do?? I' m so lost on this subject, would appreciate any input!
On another subject, are most of you planning on going straight into your cocktail hour or are you leaving a gap so you can get pictures without missing the cocktail hour yourselves? These last minute thoughts are creeping up and haunting me!
omg, i have this same exact question!
Who handles the music?? Not the dj. And how does that person know when I want them to fade it out, or start a new song?? OR how do I know the proper way to time it all so I can just make a cdhuh.gif
