Good to Know! What is Wedding BGM Copyright?

Ideally, couples should start preparing their wedding BGM at least three months in advance, considering both the "selection time" and "application time." Songs that match the atmosphere of each scene, such as flower shower, entrance, toast, and letter reading, will be played. While BGM selection is one of the joys of wedding planning, it significantly impacts guests' impressions and memories, making it not an easy task to choose from a vast number of songs.

Furthermore, various "rights" arise for music played at venues. Even if you use commercially purchased CDs (or sound sources), if played at a wedding attended by many guests, procedures related to "copyright" and "neighboring rights" may be required. Therefore, it is reassuring to proceed with preparations while consulting with venue staff.
