Although there is virtually no limit for you to choose the music, you should consider the issue of etiquette. Traditionally, music is only allowed at the beginning of the ceremony. It has to be a total silence when exchanging the vow. This is not difficult to understand since wedding should be something serious at the end of the day. Of course you may choose to play the music again when the guests leave the venue. The music can also act as a guide for the guests to go to the reception.
