Let&#8217;s look at the pros and cons of both, which will hopefully help you make a decision that works for you!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Live Band\/Singer<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pros: Live music always creates a\u00a0lovely mood for the ceremony. Most musicians\u00a0provide their own amplification systems,\u00a0something your officiant\u00a0can take\u00a0advantage of as well. Musicians are also able to adjust the music to fit your ceremony and cover for any snafus, such as you sprinting down the aisle because you\u2019re so excited or the flower girl taking an unexpected detour.<\/li>\n<li>Cons: Hiring a band or singer will definitely cost more, though you may be obligated to use\u00a0a live musician or band depending on the venue. This is especially true if your ceremony is in a church. Other cons include song choice limitations, and the fact that musicians are only human! There\u2019s always the slight possibility of a bum note or\u00a0instrument squeak as you walk down the aisle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10481\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10481\" style=\"width: 819px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-10481 \" alt=\"wedding ceremony music\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660.jpg\" width=\"819\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660-672x447.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10481\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10481 \" alt=\"wedding ceremony music\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660.jpg\" width=\"819\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_5766738660-672x447.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/frodefjeld\/5766738660\/\">frodefjeld<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/photopin.com\">photopin<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/2.0\/\">cc<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>\u00a0iPod\/CD\/MP3 Player<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pros: Definitely the budget-friendly choice, you also won&#8217;t be limited by what the musician can play\/do. As far as song choices go, you can pick anything you want!<\/li>\n<li>Cons: Depending on where you&#8217;re having the ceremony, the logistics of hooking up to a\u00a0 speaker system can be\u00a0trying, or you\u2019ll have to provide your own system, which is expensive. You\u2019ll also need to to ensure\u00a0the the timing of each song is correct, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weddingbee.com\/2013\/08\/22\/groom-forgets-ipod-for-wedding\/\">Mrs. Blue Whale<\/a> did! For example, if you know it will take\u00a0you one minute to walk down the aisle,\u00a0try to\u00a0edit your processional song so it&#8217;s one minute or a little over. If timing is off, you\u2019ll deal with\u00a0dead air or\u00a0have to wait for the\u00a0song to finish. It&#8217;s also essential to have a trusted friend or relative in charge of the iPod should something go wrong!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10482\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10482\" style=\"width: 819px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-10482 \" alt=\"wedding ceremony music\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305.jpg\" width=\"819\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305-500x331.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305-672x445.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10482\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10482 \" alt=\"wedding ceremony music\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305.jpg\" width=\"819\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305-500x331.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_6307192305-672x445.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thequeenshall\/6307192305\/\">The Queen&#8217;s Hall<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/photopin.com\">photopin<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/2.0\/\">cc<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Additional Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check out those &#8220;recommended vendor&#8221; listings provided by venue websites.
