The Italian Wedding

Everybody loves a wedding–especially a wonderful, lively and crazy ITALIAN one! That is why the nationally acclaimed, San Diego-based band, ROMAN HOLIDAY, decided to create the ultimate Italian Wedding CD, filled with lively and passionate Italian wedding favorites guaranteed to fill the reception hall with plenty of “AMORE.” As an added bonus, the CD features a 16-page “How To” booklet that takes the prospective bride and groom, wedding planner, or DJ step-by-step through an Italian American Wedding reception. The booklet describes each part of the reception itinerary and gives a history of the traditional Italian wedding songs played at each segment, which corresponds to a listing on the CD track. Recorded live in a state-of-the-art studio using up to 25 performers, the musical selections include traditional songs to accompany the Grand Entrance/ Bridal Party Processional, the First Dance, the Father-Daughter Dance, the Mother-Son Dance, the Grand March, the Tarantella, the Ca

This CD literally saved our son’s wedding. When he announced he was marrying an American girl, our family let out a communal sigh (yes, just like in the Big Fat Greek Wedding movie!) Tradition had it that we were to organize and pay for the wedding, but how could we mix American tastes (her side) with the traditional Italian wedding songs and dances we grew up with (our side). One of our cousins found The Italian Wedding CD on http://www.amazon.com, and this CD saved our family from all sorts of stress. We handed our future daughter-in-law the booklet, which outlined step-by-step what happens in a traditional Italian American wedding. She handed off the booklet to her wedding coordinator and the CD to her DJ, and, believe it or not, at the wedding the crowd (half American, half Italian) actually danced more to the CD than the other top 40 stuff the DJ was playing. IT SAVED US! I really don’t know this group, but I want to send them a big fat Italian kiss for instant Italian party music that gave so much joy to our wedding.PS I’m teaching my daughter-in-law to make REAL tomatoe sauce!Sara, North End, Boston

I bought this CD at an Italian festival and gave it to my best friend (who is Italian and was also engaged to one!) as a wedding shower present. Well, her wedding was held last week and the whole place went crazy when the DJ put on the music. It was an instant Italian party–we did everything from the chicken dance to the tarantella. Someone said it was like a “Big Fat Italian Wedding” scene. Anyway, I’d recommend this to any bride looking for happy Italian music for her reception.

My grandson wanted a traditional Italian wedding to honor his heritage (my parents are from Molise). We live in a small town in California and there are no Italian bands in the area, so we had to rely on a DJ. I looked in the stores for some Italian wedding music but didn’t find anything we could use.My daughter recently gave me a computer and I am learning to research Italian traditions on the Internet. Well, you can imagine how delighted I was when I typed in “Italian Wedding Music” and found this CD. The booklet was worth as much as the music. It told us, step-by-step, how to recreate the wedding. When they played “That’s Amore” and “Angelina” the crowd went crazy dancing. It was so beautiful, the people danced all night, we celebrated the Italian tradition we love so much. Thank you for this CD!

My husband and I are both Italian Americans. While we usually don’t write reviews on websites, we both felt compelled to tell future couples who want to add authentic Italian music to their weddings to only go for this CD. I think we bought at least three CDs with Italian Wedding in their names, thinking they might work for our wedding. All of them were useless, including an expensive one produced by Pavarotti that definitely was NOT what we had in mind for our wedding reception After an exhaustive on-line search, we found The Italian Wedding CD by Roman Holiday. We used the wedding reception guide to orchestrate our wedding. . ..our wedding coordinator loved us. The DJ used this CD and told us he had never had such a great CD for Italian Weddings.. . .Anyway, hope we don’t bore you with our comments, but since we spent so much time looking for this CD (and finally finding it), we thought we would spread the word to other couples looking to have Italian themed music for their reception or party. BTW, we are celebrating our six month anniversary tomorrow. . . Amore Lovers from Tampa

I ordered this CD from amazon.com and it was the best 20 bucks I ever spent. . .My family is full-blooded Italian, my husband is Portugese. I really needed something to give the DJ to pull our families together. The music was as lively as in any Portugese wedding and all the family from both sides got up and danced like crazy.We really enjoyed this CD because it is authentic Italian with orginal recordings and not some quickly thrown together CD from other artists. We loved the crowd sounds and the beat. We even danced the CHICKEN DANCE,which I think is German but the Italians and Portugese did it anyway.Thanks to the band for this wonderful CD. . .it was great.
