at the ceremony. If it's being held in
a synagogue, you can make arrange-
ments with the cantor as well as the
synagogue's organist, if there is one.
You could also hire a few musicians
(strings, a flute) to play. Or the band
you hire to play at the reception may
provide musicians for the ceremony.
The bridal couple may want to have
a voice in selecting the processional
and recessional music at the cere-
mony. Usually, there are few
restrictions on what music they may
select, and the cantor can suggest
several lovely liturgical pieces.
At the reception, the type of music
you have will depend on such factors
as the affair's formality and if you
want dancing. Weddings held early in
the day — brunches and lunches —
tend not to have dancing but you will
still probably want music, for
background.
Locally, most evening weddings
(and many afternoon weddings, too)
have dancing. Although you could
use a disc jockey and taped music,
this usually translates to hiring a
band.
Photographs
Wedding photographs fall into two
categories: formal portraits taken
before the wedding and informal
candids taken at the affair.
Additionally, you can have the
wedding videotaped.
At the reception, the trend is to
more candid shots and fewer ar-
ranged shots. Nowadays, wedding
photographs are all in color, with the
average spent on still photography
ranging from $1,500 to $2,500.
Photographs and videotapes are
always a challenge in the sun.
Photographers should scout out the
location beforehand, at the same
time of day the affair will be held, and
note such details as where the
flowers/greens will be placed on the
chuppah.
You can make arrangements for the
photographer and videotaping at the
same time you talk to florists, about
two to three months in advance of the
wedding. You might find it helpful to
view friends' albums and videos
before making a decision.
