THE WEDDING CEREMONY (If you are having your marriage ceremony off the ship at another location, please skip this section)

On which ship and deck will your wedding ceremony take place?

What style of music would you like played as a prelude to the ceremony? (Many couples prefer light classical music to set an elegant mood before the ceremony. Two examples of this style of music would be Handel’s “Water Music” or Bach’s “Sheep May Safely Graze”. However, we would be glad to play any style you feel represents the mood you would like to set. Prelude music will continue to be played as your guests are being seated.)

Will your wedding officiant require a microphone? yes no

What song would you like played for the processional of the bride’s attendants? (Typically, the groom and his groomsmen do not have music played as they enter.)

What music would you like played for the bride’s processional? (The traditional song is “Bridal Chorus” by Wagner, but some brides request an alternative such as “Canon in D” by Pachelbel.)

Will anyone else besides the officiant need to use the microphone during the ceremony for a special reading or song? (Note: Any musical tracks need to be in CD format. Cassette tapes are not acceptable unless two weeks advance notice is given!)

What song would you like played for the recessional? (The traditional song is “Wedding March” by Meldelssohn, but you may request anything you feel is appropriate.)

THE WEDDING RECEPTION

What deck have you reserved for your wedding reception?

Would you like the DJ to introduce the wedding party at the start of the reception? If so, please list the people you would like introduced in the order they will be presented.

What song would you like played for your first dance? Would you like to have your first dance played right after you are introduced or later on during your party?

Will there be any family dances? (Will the bride dance with her dad or other relative and will the groom dance his mom?)

Will anyone greet the guests at the start of the party? (Generally, this will be done by a parent or the bridal couple.)

Will there be a blessing of the food before the meal? If so, who will give the blessing?

Will there be toasts given? If so, by whom and at what time during the party? Most couples are toasted by the best man and maid or matron of honor. Sometimes a parent or parents also toast the wedding couple.

What songs, styles or artists would you like to be played for dancing during the party?

Are there any songs or styles you would prefer not want to hear?

What time would you like to cut the cake?

Will there be a garter removal and bouquet toss?

Is there anything else you would like your DJ and the restaurant management staff to know?

Lastly, what is the name of the person or persons who provided the information on this form?

What is your relationship to the bridal party? (ie. Bride, groom, wedding planner, friend or relative)

We will have your DJ give you a call two weeks prior to your party to follow up in detail. Feel free to attach any additional timelines or information you would like us to have.

Congratulations on your special day. Remember to have fun!!!
