An enchanting part of a church ceremony is during the nuptial kiss where most wedding musicians refrain doing this notable measure. Even choosing the right music sets perfect spirit as the next proceeding sustains.

It lasts less than a minute but the impact it brings is worth the time to watch one of the most stirring parts of a wedding ritual.

Euphoria beams for this comes as a surprise for the couple. Most often, we do what is seemly but there are moments when we do their favorite son...

The father was obviously keyed up about his daughter's wedding just few days more and preparations were done mostly by him with the presence of the future bride and equally edgy mother. They had made the major preparations and opted to add pizazz for the big day by engaging with wedding musicians.

The father of the future bride decided to get us from comparisons made and a week after, the lovely daughter forwarded me the music list closes to their hearts and some were not familiar to us so w...

An afternoon wedding set for two lovely couple where friends and relatives came despite the rain on a Tuesday. When the ceremony started, the rain stopped for added comfort for those who came a little late when the bride had her walk with the song of Taylor Swift played on a CD. The church choir did the mass songs during the ceremony and for the pictorials, the Augustine Music and Events musicians rendered some songs and music.

Allen and Aira werere indeed happy celebrating their wedding ...

Themes & Motifs paves a way for big and small wedding suppliers to showcase what they can offer and for us trying to find a niche in the wedding industry is an awakening. Glad that they offer such gigantic approach for everybody to get a chance or I can say, a way to discovery.

My group, Augustine Music and Events had realized  a part where we as professionals and passionate of what we do best are slowly gaining a certain mark, small maybe but the tract is fielded.  The two bridal fairs we joi...

A wedding destination was set for a 2 pm at a quaint church in Silang, Cavite a distance away from a rough road but the grandeur of Antonio de Padua Church stands as a solemn replica  for devotion. The place is such a delight to watch and have photos with. It really started on time with wedding musicians of Augustine Music and Events doing the solemn music from the processional march down to the recessional march. A relative did the bridal march singing their favorite song.

Almost all where...

She arrived from Ireland to marry her love one and such a wonderful wedding to watch as they exchanged their vows at Mt. Carmel Church for an afternoon wedding with their chosen songs and music played for the parts. Their guests came from far and wide just to grace this intimate wedding event with about 150 guests at their comfort zone. The ceremony lasted for an hour and so ready for a prepared wedding reception at the back of the church – the popular reception venue named after Fr. Mark H...

A little earlier to start the wedding ceremony at 3pm but the place of ceremony is cozy and cool enough to house a bigger crowd but the guests seemed many as they scattered  themselves rather than grouping  together for the wedding ceremony. Filipinos love to join their friends and relatives that’s why the couple intends to invite mostly friends and relatives. But when the mass started they moved closer nearer the altar that seemed nice to watch after all. You could now watch a myriad of di...

The performance was done for an elegant wedding at the Midas Cafe and told that I have to get the fee on Monday being a working day for it was handled by the purchasing department of Midas Hotel knowing that we would be paid that same night but dismay befell me and what can I do but to come back for our minimal fee as wedding musicians.

Then, Monday came and went to claim our fee coming from afar just to settle but it was so frustrating being told that the check had to be prepared. Before...

Light festive songs have their certain flavor when performed for any event, especially weddings where guests are many and entertainment is gauge to fit their tastes. But that is hard and performing safe is a solution by doing standard songs and music that ring bells to their ears.

Light festive music or songs still are favorites. The lilting sound and easy beats create a certain feel in the air as the guests are having dinner or having casual talk with one another. No event for that matte...

The wedding at Christ The King and reception at the Tivoli Royale was ably planned by wedding coordinators of Augustine Music and Events with the participation of outstanding wedding musicians of Philippines making the event worth remembering.

All activities at the church were managed by the wedding planners, attending, too to some guests need assisting and made sure that everything run the smoothest. When the ceremony was done, two planners were assigned to attend for the seating arrange...

It was a Catholic wedding done outdoor and heard that the officiating priest was given permission to do it in a garden. It seems like a civil wedding but complete with the processional march, bridal march, marriage vows and a combination of Catholic and Christian music and the usual declaraion of marriage done in a Christian way.

The wedding ceremony was a touching one with careful choices of words delivered by the priest, meaningful and felt by the couple and both relatives of the groom...

Supposedly, it was a Christian garden ceremony but because of the incoming typhoon the couple decided to do it indoor and all guests were informed timely to start the ceremony around 5pm inside the Colonial Hall of Fernbrook Gardens that typifies golden splendor. Music prelude was performed by Augustine Music before the rites began expecting some other guests. The wedding musicians kept playing until the ceremony started.

The first to enter was an American Pastor before the procession beg...

For the past 150 years and up to the present, Canon in D major is still the most popular music for weddings. I can’t imagine why it is vastly asked for as one of the wedding music played while there are more beautiful compositions. It is a composition by a German Baroque composer and first published by Pachelbel in 1919. He was born in 1653 and died in 1706 but his music remains as the most popular wedding music ever.  The advantage in playing Canon in D is that it can fit any time span and...

Listening to wedding songs come in many forms and reception songs and music are safely performed by gifted wedding musicians where style differs  and interpretations set each performer at par.

One special song for the reception is “Antonio’s Song” maybe not that familiar but one of the best sounding songs because of its simplicity and easy to the ears. It sounds like a blend of Latin and Caribbean that makes it distinct but anyone can perform it in style that befits.

This kind...

Bands for weddings that provide live entertainment can either be string quartet or a quartet of different instruments who are passionate musicians enough to comprise a live band for a wedding ceremony and reception with a wedding singer to do some love songs. A list of wedding songs and music must come handy for the couple to choose what suits them and they have their popular song or music choices.

There are no best wedding songs or music because a wedding musician can transform a simple ...

It was awesome to be involved with an affair prepared by the children to put up a remarkable bash celebrating the 50^th wedding anniversary of their parents. A golden wedding is a feat to reach and the best has to be offered for the celebrants.

The wedding songs and music selected by the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lucena speaks of their taste in music. The old standard songs and music still top the wedding music choice list and many longs for the forgotten songs of the past to be h...

Joeben and Babie, as they are fondly called arrived on time for the 5pm golden wedding mass officiated by two priests from Sanctuario de San Jose though the rite was held at a clubhouse intim...

Wedding musician they say will always hold on as a musician and that stays as a real notion but fear creeps when he reaches a certain point in time where options change. Being exposed to weddings, wedding musicians long for an involvement where music is concerned and when deprived a pain seeps within unnoticed but the sadness in one’s eyes reveal a certain loss. The elder musicians in the Philippines are left backside no matter how great their talents are as compared to foreign musicians fr...

The very first thing that caught my awe was the warm accommodation granted by the personnel of Weddings and Beyond during the ingress of suppliers a night prior to the bridal exhibit that began past 9 in the evening. They were distinguishable in their rose color uniforms matching the smiles on their faces that made us comfortable despite the heat felt at the PICC forum. Comparably speaking, the last bridal fair I joined with didn't match a certain character even their name bloats in the air.

Spreading the good news to let the soon-to-be couples about wedding planning and ingredients to approximate an ideal wedding is a sincere gesture from wedding coordinators for a rescue. Deliverance can come from friends or relatives but this limits the scope of the bride's intentions. We can say that she has a wedding plan ready for execution but she doesn't have the full position to demand, that to say is a restraint.

Wedding coordination is a second option, a discretion at play if both th...

I received an email from a future bride opting to sing as she walks the aisle. He stumbled upon one of our posted videos in youtube and fascinated to do the same. He asked me to send her a record and she'll be using her voice for the bridal march at St. James The Great Church in Alabang.

Doing this is a special gesture and dramatic because not everybody is aware that the bride will sing as she walks the aisle. But a better word to describe this is – TOUCHING MOMENT. Not all brides are br...

When someone carries a tune, he or she says I am a singer not giving much thought how the interpretation affects listeners. Almost all can sing and really love the art but the real passion doesn't come to play. There are those who are gifted with good voices and what needs is honing but there are more who like to sing just to express.

Singing is simple act but what comes from within is what lacks. Most singers today sing as if shouting to the top of their voices thinking that the louder ...

As I was observing before the ceremony began, it appeared that Koreans behave like Pinoys. They were not pretentious and a bit noisy like us. The Chinese guests seemed more of the reserved type and they look like Koreans. Everybody were dressed tastefully. The female principal witnesses were dressed in maroon gown and others in light royal blue looking like Imperial Queens. Their counterparts – male principal sponsors and almost all male guests were in coat.

Before the ceremony began, we...

Wedding pressures will be nil if preparations are done before hand. And when I address about wedding preparations I mean every considerations are matted out, discussed and acted the very first instance when you feel it's right. Wedding preparations are more of the intuitive side because you know what is really right for both of you and considering to go with it.

• The very first that comes to mind for a husband and wife to be is the budget. From there after discussing how much this and th...

Passion for music is what we can share and dedication is evident in every performance expressed with artistry for that is called and the soul of what we do.

The mere touch of the piano keys with the violinist on bay creates a certain feel together with the soft flute tones complimenting the deep bass sound fashion a breathtaking music and interpreted with a soulful vocal rendition that crafts a heart rending performance.

As we enjoy playing music we go beyond by extending hands to create...

The beauty of performance is called when proper music is opted and that depends what a couple really feels when it comes to music for their wedding. The younger couple getting married choice of music centers more to the romantic older classics familiar to them while the elder couple more often wants the newer songs mostly revival. Revivals are in. The new song mostly aired are revivals. The old standard classics are given certain touch through a performance but church music has to be conside...
