Among some of the tips offered in the book are:

The most important part of wedding music planning takes place AFTER the band or DJ is hired. If a couple's participation is limited to choosing a few favorite songs and artists, they are leaving the most emotional part of their wedding to chance - to people they hardly know. Music expresses the feelings they can't put into words, so great care must be taken in selecting the right music for the right moment.

Do some sleuthing. Find out which special songs were played at the weddings of family and friends for their First Dance, and then play those songs at various times during your reception. This never fails to bring your loved ones to the dance floor as they relive the emotions of their own weddings.

A wedding is even more beautiful when thoughtfulness and care are extended to others through your musical selections. Not everyone is a part of a couple. Single, widowed and divorced guests appreciate group dances that allow them to participate. It's also important to consider the elderly for whom even slightly loud music can be uncomfortable. Make sure they are seated away from the speakers.

For the first time, Barbara and Gloria have put this valuable information together in one purse-sized indispensable resource. "How To Set Your Wedding To Music" is the first and only complete wedding music planner and workbook available anywhere. A gold mine of valuable information (valuable even to wedding coordinators and music professionals), it guides couples through a simplified and well-tested music planning process. The book is comprehensive yet concise. It de-mystifies and un-complicates the once overwhelming task of music planning. Every page is easy-to-read, easy-to-understand and easy-to-use with practical and valuable planning tips that highlight important details.
