Ceremony Details
The Wedding Ceremony is typically devided into three parts - The Prelude, the Processional and the Recessional. Party Time can provide the music and the amplified sound equipment and microphones for your ceremony. If you have live music, you may still want Party Time to provide s microphone and amplified speakers for the spoken part of the ceremony.

The Prelude sets the mood as your wedding guests are seated prior to the ceremony. Traditionally, happy, upbeat classical music is played. Contemporary jazz or lite rock/pop music may be substituted. For beach events, steel drum music may be preferred. Please make your selection.
Prelude Music Selection:
The Bridal Party Processional is played while the bridal party makes it's way down the aisle. You may choose one or two songs for the bridal party - depending on size. A separate song is played for the bride as she enters and walks down the aisle. Traditional music for the bridal party includes "Canon" by Pachelbel or "Trumpet Voluntary" by Clarke. For the Bride, "Bridal Chorus" by Wagner is the traditional favorite. Please make your selections below.

Other Information

Bouquet & Garter Ideas
These are only suggestions of alternate ways to remove or toss the garter. Please consult with me. The most important thing to remember is to HAVE FUN.


1) Can toss both Garter and Bouquet at the same time.

2) Can place a $10 or $20 bill in the garter to "Sweeten the pot".

3) Blindfold the groom; The Bridesmaids then all show their legs and the groom must guess the right leg before removing the garter. Individuals other than the "bridesmaids" may be used (i.e. grandma, best-man, well you get the idea)

4) Blindfold the catcher and he must put the garter on the bouquet catchers leg or guess the right person as well.

5) The groom tosses his "Little Black Book" instead of the garter. Stating he will no longer need it.

6) The groom before he starts to take off the garter is handed a "Miners Hat with Working Light". Stating that it is dark under the full length dress. This works best with a full length white dress. The light will make the dress glow and everyone can see the light move throughout the dress, but nothing else...

7) Balloon Garter Drop - This works best in a facility with high ceilings. Decorators take a large balloon and fill it with several smaller balloons. One of the smaller balloons holds the garter. The larger balloon makes a nice decoration as well. The groom then takes a long pole with a pin on the end and breaks the larger balloon. All the smaller balloons fall to the ground and the bachelors have to search for and break the smaller containing the garter.

8) Black Garter Toss - This must be planned with your DJ before the event. If you do not have a lot of single friends or do not wish to embarrass anyone this may be an alternate to the garter toss. Your MC invites the groom to the dance floor. Then asks for all the married men to the floor. The groom tosses the garter to the married men. At this point The MC tells the catcher that the garter may be placed on his wife's leg...in the privacy of their home/room. The Bride invites a special friend to the floor and gives her the bouquet.

9) Garter Gag - This must be preplanned with Your DJ before the event, Preferred several weeks before the event. The Catcher of the Bouquet sits in a chair on the center of the dance floor... as the catcher of the garter (standing in front of the catcher of the bouquet) is blind folded, we then swap the catcher of the bouquet in the chair with a gentleman (the hairier the legs the better), we then explain to the catcher of the garter that he will be required to put the garter on "HER" leg... the higher he goes, the more fun the Bride and Groom will have on their honeymoon (the more money they'll make in a lifetime, the more children they'll have, just to name a few more).

10) Bride presents the Bouquet.

11) Invite all the married women to the floor. Then start eliminating them by asking "all the women married one year or fewer steps to the edge of the dance floor" and so on until there is only one woman left (the bride stays on the floor the whole time). Find out how long she has been married and hand her the bouquet.

12) The bride stands in the middle of the floor and is blindfolded. The single ladies make a circle around her. The bride spins in one direction and the ladies rotate around her in the opposite directions. When the music stops everyone stops moving and the one the bride is facing is the one to get the bouquet.

If any of these sounds like fun, please consult me, and place a comment about it in the notes above.

Kissing Games
Here are some alternatives to the traditional clanging of glasses for the bride and groom to kiss. Remember these are just ideas.


1) Instead of clanking glasses the guest must sing a song with the word "love" in it. This does not have to be the entire song just the part with the word "Love" in it.

2) Have a Trivia Contest. Let me know if this interests you, the trivia guide is a tool I can add to your account and you can fill out online - Just like this planner. If someone would like the bride and groom to kiss they must answer a trivia questions about the bride and groom. Good questions are things like... The day the Bride was born? What city she was born in? The grooms' favorite toy as a child/adult?

Other Ideas
Here are some other games and ideas to customize your special and unique wedding.


1) Remote Control Game: Usually after the bouquet/garter toss. The bride and groom sit on chairs back to back. I'll ask the best-man and maid of honor to come up and help with this. They are each given a roll of toilet paper on a rod that either the best-man or maid of honor holds for the bride and groom. The MC will announce that the race is for control of the TV remote for the next six months. The first to unroll all of the toilet paper wins. Audience applause will determine a tie.

2) Who Wears The Pants Trivia: The Bride and Groom stand back to back and are asked to take off their shoes. This works really well at the end of the night when you want to take your shoes off anyway. They give each other one of their shoes and keeps one for themselves. The couple is then asked questions like: Who controls the checkbook? Who does the laundry? Who does the cooking? etc. The Bride & Groom respond back by holding up the appropriate shoe.

3) Key Gag: This must be preplanned with the Entertainer before the event. Obtain several house keys (10-20 keys is sufficient) during the party before the garter/bouquet toss someone from the wedding party is responsible for handing out the keys to several guests. Just before the groom removes the garter the MC will announce "Now that the Bride/Groom (your choice) is married, everyone must return their key to his/her apartment/house". At this time several people walk forward and place the keys in a bucket.
