What to consider when choosing output music

After all, how to select just one song among so many options? We consulted a professional who is more than used to guiding couples in choosing the songs for each moment of the ceremony, the conductor and director of Grupo Sonata, Laércio Hernane.

For him, the closing of the ceremony is a joyful and festive moment, “you just got married and it’s time to celebrate the beginning of a new future, so that’s what the song should reflect. I always recommend a very lively song, but that has to do with the couple”, declares the conductor. He now checks out the tips on what to consider when choosing the final song.

Your story: this is the most important thing to think about as a couple, in the opinion of maestro Laércio Henrique, after all, every couple has songs that became special during their relationship. So, why not choose the one that most marked your union for the exit of the ceremony? It will surely be full of meaning for you and your guests.

Personal taste: it’s really cool when the couple’s outgoing music also identifies with each one’s musical taste. If you like the same style of music, it’s easy. But if you diverge a lot, try to think of the style that best suits you as a couple. The result of this is a closing with the face of both.

The message of the music: a very important item especially with foreign music. There are songs that have beautiful melodies, but their verses are not as happy as they seem. Want an example? Many people believe that the song “You’re Beautiful”, by James Blunt, is a declaration of love, when in fact it is about the suffering of a relationship that ended. So don’t be fooled by the melody, do that Google search to understand exactly what the lyrics say, ok?

The wedding style: taking into account all of the above, this one ends up being automatic. Even so, it is always good to keep in mind that the final music must be in harmony with the style of the wedding. Have you ever thought about a classic ceremony ending with a rock’n roll? It doesn’t really match, does it?

If even after all this you still don’t reach a conclusion, Laércio recommends going to the list of traditional songs already consecrated for weddings. There’s no mistake! Anyway, don’t be afraid to dare, take your idea to the group that will play at your ceremony and let them turn your dream into music!
