Wedding repertoire and Tips on playing for weddings (?)

on: April 26, 2006, 10:35:18 PM

I am thinking about playing at weddings for some extra $, but I have no idea what kinds of repertoire people actually play there. Or how it works, repertoire-wise (who chooses ?).

Do people actually play stuff out of those books of "wedding music" that one can purchase ? Or do you just compile your repertoire ? I am wondering about standards and so on... and if you choose the music or if the wedding party requests and so on. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.
