Anyone Use Steel Drum for Ceremony?

[Angel-in-Law]

I was debating the steel drum, but after reading positive reviews and hearing the beautiful sounds, I think I'm going the steel pan route for the ceremony. I definitely think it will give the wedding the island feel.

 

rdsjrc: I'm planning to go with the live music.

I'll be using steel drum for the ceremony too!! It gives it an island feel and just sounds so lovely!

We are using a steel drum player for ceremony and cocktails. I am trying to think of good ceremony music to use. I really don't have a strong desire to walk in to "here comes the bride" although I was really surprised when I told my fiancé about it I think it hurt his feelings. We has been so non traditional thought the planning, but he picks that song to be the one tradition he wants. Go figure...any suggestions? I am thinking for lack of anything better to use somewhere over the rainbow for my bridesmaids to enter. My flower girl is definitely coming in to kiss the girl from little mermaid. Also need suggestion for moms and grandma entry music. I want to exit to joyful joyful, but finance wants the traditional music again so we compromised and joyful joyful will be after wedding march. I would like to incorporate at least one religious hymn particularly since we opted against the church wedding and are both very religious.

We are using a solo steel drummer for the ceremony. For the bridal party's procession we are doing Somewhere Over the Rainbow, my procession is Pachelbels Cannon and our recessional song will be One Love.  Not sure what my fiance will walk down the aisle to, etc.  I was thinking maybe Could You Be Loved.  I don't know.  I'm going to let him figure this one out!
