LIGHT JAZZ VERSION OF CLOSE TO YOU POPULARIZED BY THE CARPENTERS AND INTERPRETED BY AUGUSTINE MUSIC AND EVENTS - PIANO, BASS AND VOCAL.
Even just a simple word or sincere text encompasses the feeling of a music provider such as wedding musicians who feel the need of recognizing what are due them. The fun of sharing beautiful music as adding comfort for people who seek for a certain lullaby even to the extent of drowsing is consolation. It signals realization that appreciation is inherent and the need to accept the truth gathers the idea that all artists, especially a musician deserves accolade in any manner possible.
The wedding arena is an easy spot to deliver what is inherent from an artist of involving oneself to the reality of wonder. Why do we keep the music playing but to entertain and just a mere applause timidly done is enough to say, "you are good, man!" That is considered. An artist of any genre is sensitive and the passion still creeps to share something of the beautiful. Maybe, it is more than the price of money. It is a gift from God worth sharing and why are we here for in this vast universe but to contribute. Music is our contribution - beautifully romantized piece that speaks the language of the soul. It really matters that a music of all time is perfectly instilled in one's imagination. It is a sort of educating someone whose ears are far beyond recognizing wonderful melody.
A musician is a story teller. A singer impacts the message. They work hand in hand in crafting the magic of passionate performance not just to expose dullity. Intelligence is needed to make a musician feels to truly understands that not all appreciates. It is easy to say that I enjoy your lyrical interpretation of a song or your mastery of music but how is it meant for? All are artists and pretending being mesmerized is doubtful. Critics always find the bad side of a person's point of rising. I mean, his elevation to greatness because a critic wants to capture such gift. He wants the easy way to destroy. He is a jealous artist. He craves to win to the expense of dealing with the bad side of nature, instead of enjoying the heartfelt share of a truly bloodied musician.
The world turns dull and dreary when beauty is diminished. A music unexplored dims the side of the universe making only the droplets of rain as added sound around. But it doesn't compete with what is considered as melody. The harmony of sound gathered in a manner of speaking is rare but to listen to it is the hard part. It comes from one's soul. It explains why we want to enjoy life. It connects to the craving for what is true and beautiful. And when felt, it is an awakening.
Each has its own way of a dealing. Even just a song intended to be heard when done rightly is a sign of release. What more with those whose passion for something is immersed. It is such delight feeling the obligation of tending the roots of upcoming artistry that surprises. Wedding musicians exemplify the true care of what music is all about. The magic of melody sensitizes the angry heart. It elevates sanity. It creates a space of believing that anybody can create magic in the air. Are we not magicians in our own right?
Truly, there is nothing unpleasant in a song even performed hazardously, to say harsh. Still, the message injects hurt, perhaps. Pain from desolated soul, too. What is considered is trying something else. Maybe a love song plays trust. It might ring in your ears a real romance and awakes the artist in you. We are all sparrows in the field trying to find a niche. Maybe someday I'll hit the right cord to meet the standard of a world class Filipino artist.Or greater.
The field of wedding music is a great ground to be in. It explains your side of profession not just sharing real entertainment. True, when professional rendition is put then you are defined as remarkable but how long can you sustain your class act to the best it can be? Just enjoy your time living the life of musical invasion. That way, it zeroes you to the pedestal of wanted musicians. And for how long decides what your intentions are in coming. Wedding music, wedding songs, classical music interpretation, solemn live music are great parts of a show. Be proud being a wedding musician. And I am.
The fun of being a wedding coordinator is the chance to see places you only read or see on print or heard. Specially, if it is your first chance to see the place. More so when you are involved, then the curiosity rises. It was a privilege doing the work for a couple where we organized details of their wedding plan a week before the big day.
Our head coordinator did the rundown of everything to be done from where they were booked to the reception. Details were listed from small to the big ones where concerns are called for. Even the couple was given some sort of assignment to help out in making their wedding day something to remember by.
Hours before the ceremony, the coordinators were around where the bride and groom to be are to bring important materials to church. Of course, we have the wedding planning checklist not to forget anything.
Two hours before the ceremony, we are around to assist guests who came, especially the bridal entourage where they were to be assembled ready for the walk. We do this to make things unhurried. Rushing gives the nerves, as you know.
There is part where offerings are readied, so 10 minutes before that, it is set. And when the ceremony is done, two coordinators assist for the pictorials where a protocol is called. Two others will collect the paraphernalia used during the ceremony.
Before the couple walked through the church door, they were greeted with loose flower throwing and a burst of party popper creating sound and flying colors. Well, a photo of this is amazing with a video that hovered into a scene.
Reaching the reception venue, guests were attended by the wedding coordinators where they are supposed to sit following the seating arrangements prepared by the couple for us to implement. We see to it that everybody had their seats before commencing the wedding reception program approved by them to run.
As the program went, the wedding emcee or master of ceremonies was assisted by the head coordinator to get the timing for what was next to ready what was needed for the program flow while the rest of the coordinators were having their assigned tasks fulfilled.
We had such an experience at the Secret Garden, Philippines where we as wedding planners had fun at the same time easing a wedding burden as a great concern.
WE DON’T INTEGRATE ALL WEDDING SERVICES IN ONE PACKAGE BUT CONCENTRATE WHAT WE DO BEST AND PREPARING A WEDDING IS A TASK NEEDS INOLVEMENT AND TIME. TOGETHER WITH FRIENDS IN THE FIELD OF MUSIC WE COMBINE THE PACKAGE WITH WEDDING MUSICIANS AROUND TO EASE A LITTLE BURDEN FROM THE COUPLE’S PREPARATIONS. AND MANAGES THE WEDDING RECEPTION PROGRAM FOR WE ARE A GROUP BEING COMFORTABLE WITH EACH OTHER.
WORKING HAND-IN-HAND WITH PEOPLE YOU KNOW MAKES THE REALIZATION THAT THERE WE ARE DOING WHAT WAS TALKED AND DISCUSSED AS SHARED IDEAS GATHERED FOR A FINALITY OF WHAT IS THE BEST THING DONE. STILL, WE KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN AS WE GO ON WITH OUR ASSIGNED TASK.
LATELY, WE HAD A GRAND TIME WITH A COUPLE WHO ARE DOCTORS AND THEY WERE SO NICE TO DEAL WITH. THEY ARE COMFORTABLE TO BE AROUND WITH DESPITE THEIR HECTIC SCHEDULES BEING IN THE MEDICINE FIELD AND WE TRIED TO ADJUST HOW THEY TIMED THEIR NEEDED INFORMATION AND FOR US TO IMPLEMENT AFTER HEARING WHAT WE SUGGESTED. THE HEAD COORDINATOR, CARMELITA LUPATO ACCEPTED THE PLAN FROM BOTH THROUGH THE HELP OF THE THREE OTHER COORDINATORS WHO ARE DEDICATED TO MAKE THINGS EASY FOR EVERYBODY. AND THEY ENJOY WHAT THEY DO, MOST IMPORTANTLY CONSIDERED.
MUSIC FOR US COUNTS AS SPECIAL CONSIDERATION TO MAKE A WEDDING CELEBRATION WORTH THE WHILE. IT IS A SPICE THAT SPELLS MAGIC IN AN UNIMAGINABLE WAY, HARD TO EXPLAIN BUT THERE IT IS MAKING A CELEBRATION SHORT OF A MIRACLE. IT IS AN INGREDIENT TO A WEDDING FOR A FULLER TASTE.
NEVER MISSING TO COMPLETE THE SERVICE IS THE HOSTING OF THE WEDDING RECEPTION PROGRAM FROM A COMPETENT MEMBER MAKING SURE THE PROGRAM RUNS GRACEFULLY, TO BORROW THE WORD FROM SOMEONE. RUNNING IT REQUIRES THE APPROVAL OF THE COUPLE KNOWING WHAT HAPPENS BUT NEVER DIVULGE A PART OF THE PROGRAM WHERE WE ARE TO FIND THE NEXT GROOM AND BRIDE TO BE IN THE FUTURE THROUGH A GAME.
WE ARE NEVER TIRED DOING OUR JOB. IT IS A THERAPY. IT IS A RELAXATION PROCESS. BUT MOST OF ALL, OUR MAIN CONCERN IS PUTTING UP A WEDDING THAT WILL BE REMEMBERED NOT ONLY BY US BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, FROM THE COUPLE’S MEMORIES.
PRAYER BEFORE MEAL "Lord God, Creator of the universe, Father of us all, we have gathered here around this dinner table to celebrate the love and commitment that have united (bride's name) and (groom's name), in a wonderful bond of marriage. Bless, Father, this food that we are about to receive with grateful hearts as a sign of your continuous bounty and providence. May your generous blessing descend also upon these newly married spouses,their families and friends present here at this joyful banquet.We make this prayer in the name of Jesus our Lord and Savior, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, on God for ever and ever. Amen"
The cake cutting is a practice that dates back to the olden times. Of course, they did not have cakes yet but instead used unleavened bread which the groom breaks on the bride’s head and after which they share the bread. The bread or cake symbolizes material possessions and the breaking stood for marital responsibilities and sharing in everything. The sharing also means that they have to provide for each other.
Fortunately, man has learned to use the knife instead of the usual head-banging ritual and the first honor will be shared by the man, the head of the family does the first move at all times – the very share of the sweetness of love for his wife. And the honor will be reciprocated by the wife, also sharing the sweetness of love for her love one. Then, they finish it off by sealing it with a kiss.
The bread crumbs symbolize fertility for both and the sweetness of the cake symbolizes blissful lives as they go on living together as husband and wife.
It has been said that the relation between a husband and wife is that independence is equal, dependence is mutual and obligation reciprocal as the ritual speak of, pretty much.
The toasting ceremony is a formal act of expressing good wishes and lasting happiness to the couple. It is also a symbol of perfect health and long life. During the olden times, a man would drink to the health of one of the ladies and a piece of cake and a glass of wine is passed on to every guest receiving each one’s compliment to symbolize health, long life, love everlasting for both.
Let the toast pass drink to the last. Cheers!
Has anyone of you ever wondered why doves were used during weddings? Well, apparently when a male dove becomes mature, it selects and courts a female dove and they stay together for the rest of their lives. It has been said that even if we separate one another they will surely find their home and each other despite the distance. moreover, the female dove lays only two eggs at the time one male and one female and the parent doves take turns in sitting over the eggs until they are hatched. This act symbolizes undying love and faithfulness for one another.
Doves also symbolize purity of love for each other and fortune whoever catches the dove when released.
Let the doves kiss each other and kiss each other, too and in the count of three release the doves. So, we wish the couple undying love and faithfulness as they now release the doves!
It was awesome to be involved with an affair prepared by the children to put up a remarkable bash celebrating the 50th wedding anniversary of their parents. A golden wedding is a feat to reach and the best has to be offered for the celebrants.
Best weddings involve best wedding music with musicians for a live band or for a more romantic set-up, a string quartet lifts the feel especially during the wedding ceremony complimenting with renditions of a wedding singer.
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 heard once again because their unique melodies are felt from the hearts. It is during a golden wedding where romantic music lingers in the air. You can feel what the song or music is telling you especially if wedding musicians come to play and musicians in the Philippines are passionate when it comes to the old classics. It is also the reason why Filipino music is one of the best in the world. Everybody loves music from the Philippines.
The wedding ceremony where the couple renewed their vows is a chapel near the middle of the vast Veteran Memorial Hospital where it sits. It is a small circular chapel ideal for an intimate number of people for a mass celebration and far from noise from the busy street nearby. It is cozy, too because it is an open kind of chapel where air passes through and lots of light making scenes photographic.
Before ceremony began, the Augustine Music performed touching wedding prelude music that captivated the guests around with the solemn rendition of the light classical music which is familiar to many and after the prelude music provided by the wedding musicians, an old beautiful romantic song was rendered for the bridal march timely done even the center aisle is that short for the couple walked slowly to relish the special moment. There was the church choir to do the rest of the wedding songs and music and proceeded to the wedding reception venue where we will manage our instruments to be used as the guests arrived after the wedding ceremony.
It was nearly twelve noon when the guests arrived with reception music the moment guests arrived in droves and to cope up with the time, program started when almost all were in as suggested and let everybody come in from the photo booth section to start the first part of the wedding reception program.
I hosted the golden wedding program and enjoyed the moment with the children with their husbands and wives who did fantastic tribute by singing very relating wedding songs for a golden wedding. Even the grandchildren spiced the bash with their special dance number with the music from the thriller of Michael Jackson. The wedding program was prepared by the children and followed the program flow as it was with some insertions were needed.
The wedding musicians enjoyed their time playing beautiful wedding songs and music which are easy to listen to and observed that the couple were very intent when one of their favorite songs were performed like “Stardust” and “Smile”. And even the guests kept humming as they heard those old familiar music played by the Augustine Music.
A golden wedding is best to be engaged with when it comes to intimacy with the wedding program and wedding music. These are two areas where hearts are called to effectively relish the importance of a celebration with such wonderful contributions. A wedding program host or emcee either makes or breaks the affair and wedding musicians’ share with that splendid list of wedding songs and music add glitter to the party.
Once again, I am so glad having given the opportunity to host and sing for a remarkable golden wedding and my very share is, at least made the wedding day as expected.
It was a turnaround of schedule and a relative’s wedding was set for an afternoon outdoor Christian Wedding on an open field overlooking the famous Taal Lake in Tagaytay. This was a first experience where ceremony was held in huge tract of land and just few trees sprouting a distance afar looking like a safari but breathtaking nonetheless.
It was easy for me to manage the guests and activities for the wedding ceremony and reception of about 70 guests mostly coming from the north. Around 3:30 pm when everything was set and ready for the line-up of the bridal entourage for the wedding procession. Exactly 4 pm when we started. There were no wedding musicians around but a solo guitar player who is a close relative of the bride making do with a simple sound system of two speakers but he sounded good strumming his classical guitar for the piece Canon in D for the procession and for the bridal march, an original composition was rendered by him. Unfortunately, it crossed my mind to ask for the title.
The music during the wedding ceremony was very tame. It was so romantic just hearing a single instrumentalist doing favorite wedding music list from the couple. Everyone felt awed with solemnity of the affair amidst the soft hush of breeze so cool and invigorating as the couple exchanged their wedding vows with faint guitar sound doing the famous Filipino song, “Ikaw.”
When the ceremony was done, there was a cocktail set for everybody timely to do a little rearrangement of tables and chairs for the reception on the same ground. It was 6 pm when the wedding program started. All center tables were adorned with lighted candles and faint light coming from the distant road adding shiny reflections from the sea stream creating a fantastic environ, to me was the most fascinating reception I’ve attended. To my dismay, I wasn’t able to capture anything. Their wedding photographer was a relative of the bride and I guess she wasn’t charged like me because the groom is my close relative. The bride is from Cavite and the groom is an Ilocano from the north.
I didn’t have much time for myself because I hosted the wedding reception program and I was alone doing everything from the wedding planning till the wrap-up job. It took me a week for the preparations and everything turned just right with some help from the bride’s relatives.
It was an unforgettable Philippine wedding and I will always treasure the moments with Mr. and Mrs. Edward Pinto who conceptualized a simple budgeted wedding but turned into what we can call a dream wedding.
Weddings by Augustine Music and Events remain memories for wedding musicians are here to stay compared to entertainers who are free to express their artistry in manners that fit such expertise. Musicians for weddings have vast music list to back them up when performance is called.
Love songs for weddings are most favored. Even the young engaged couple yearns for the old romantic classics and really finds time researching for a compilation of their wedding song and music list for the big day. Although it comes secondary from their vast list of what to dos, still they are given consideration in the final run.
Ceremony wedding music is first thought of to follow church rules. There are choices deem necessary to adhere according to propriety. Catholics have wedding music list corresponding to the liturgy while Christian wedding is almost the same with Catholic wedding when it comes to said sacredness.
Modern treats nowadays don’t call for standard processional or bridal wedding march music. There is no standard bridal march. There is now a vast music wedding songs to choose from and any live band can perform them with their own styles just maintaining a certain sobriety.
What are the best wedding songs? A list is endless because free music song is shared and can be learned at the same time performed with a difference specifically if it is a wedding ceremony performing it not just like entertainer per se but adding a touch of palpable reverence. Musicians in the Philippines and elsewhere have a knock in doing so.
Weddings are akin to youtube music. Best wedding clips are made into youtube music for more exposure and best wedding songs crowd the second largest search engine. It also elevates the standing of a string quartet or wedding musicians as a whole for most popular songs are performed by such artists.
Wedding reception music is treated with the simplicity of a performance. It is more relaxed and entertainers can cross the boundary for self-interpretation doing popular wedding songs and some of the best 100 songs considered but there is THE WEDDING SONG each couple loves as a special treat. It must be the number one from the list and performed the best possible way from gifted wedding music band.
