Open Question: Ceremony Music Help!

Hi Weddingbee,

I was wondering if you had any especially nice versions of “Canon in D” or “Here comes the Bride” that you could send me. Oddly enough the DJ has none and he can’t use any of my itunes on his system and the weddings is in a week and a half!

My work computer blocks kazaa and limewire so I’m in a total jam! Please help.

Desperate Bride,

Jenn

You may have to purchase a CD with it on there. FBI regulations prevent DJs from using music that has been downloaded off the internet, as it imposes on copyrights. They must use only originals, such as a version from a CD that was purchased.

Go to your local library and check out a cd with that on it. Some libraries even have wedding music compilations with standards like that on it. He could just play that CD.

Of course, a disreputable person would burn that song onto a CD for the DJ so they wouldn’t have to worry about the DJ losing the Library’s property and make a copy for themselves in case the DJ forgot it day of. I’m sure no one does that.

As for the last posters comment — I’m confused. How does that allow for music bought from I-tunes? I’m not sure that most DJs have any idea where the music supplied from clients is coming from. Most of my friends gave must-play music to their DJ on a CD (that’s music they own, but they DJ can’t verify every song).

Hi Jenn,

go to amazon.com, and then to their music store. Click on “free music downloads” (it’s on the blue tab-bar at the top of the page, on the far right), and then search. It looks like there are several versions of the “Canon in D” and Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March”, and you can search for Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus” (”Here comes the Bride”) if you prefer that to the other two.

Good luck!

Or you can burn your itunes onto a CD, and have the DJ use that. Once you’ve burned the CD there shouldn’t be any compatibility issues, even if the songs were from iTunes to begin with.

i think itunes is the best bet..i wonder why your dj can’t use your itunes material?…maybe you could burn it on a cd and then rip it into mp3’s? - i’m sure he uses a laptop with his mixing gear?
