25 Wedding Favorites
This is an excellent CD for a formal wedding, so-so for a casual one.

A Good Source of Ideas But ...
The best I can say about this CD is that there are many different styles represented & one can at least get a sense of which pieces merit further investigation. My overall impression is that most of the selections are given a heavy-handed treatment(one might say ultra-formal) or are downright silly--I could swear I've heard 2 of the tracks in Disney's Electrical Parade. I don't blame the composer, of course, but the arranger & compiler. I'm planning my own wedding & found a few ideas of songs I'd like to hear in *other* versions, but nothing on this CD sounded like what I wanted to hear at my wedding, let alone anyone else's. If you have limited exposure to classical music, or don't know where to begin in planning your wedding selections, this might be a good place to begin, simply because of the variety. But I wouldn't recommend it as the source of your wedding music.

A good selection
This CD has a good selection of songs on it.
We will use one of the songs for the ceremony.
We found a couple of other wedding CDs on amazon.com too
One of them is "Classical Wedding Traditions"
The sound on this CD is simply amazing.
I will enjoy this one long after the wedding.
Amazon.com has helped us a lot in planning our wedding music.
