Product Description
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 Cake Cutting and Money Dance. In addition, Italian wedding favorites such as "That's Amore," the "Chicken Dance," and "C'e La Luna Mezza Mare" are included. The CD also includes selections of swing, mambo, and tango music and even gives an outline of how to dance the Tarantella, a definite "must do" at an Italian wedding. "If you ask people what comes into mind when they think of an Italian American wedding, they'll mention the good food and all the fun they had dancing to the music," said Tony DiBona, band leader and producer of the Italian Wedding CD. "All the cherished Italian American traditions come together at a wedding celebration and the music is truly the heart and soul of the Italian wedding experience-after the food, of course!" The CD is a perfect choice for wedding couples of Italian American heritage who want to keep traditional customs alive but need a guide to help them along. "We packaged the CD so that the DJ in Topeka or the wedding coordinator in Baton Rouge can produce an authentic Italian American wedding-- even if the closest Italian community is hundreds of miles away," said DiBona. "If you are an Italian American and are planning a wedding reception around your heritage, this is the guide for you. And if you're neither Italian nor planning a wedding, we bet you'll still be moved to clap your hands and move your feet when you listen to these lively and romantic songs," DiBona added. It is also a wonderful compilation of favorite Italian songs, performed by excellent musicians, to be enjoyed by ANYONE who loves Italian and Italian American music. The ROMAN HOLIDAY show band, now in its tenth year, has performed for festivals and corporate events in cities across the country and has appeared in several Hollywood films. Their lively and colorful show includes a wide repertoire of Italian-style music and dance.

Can't find Italian music better than this July 5, 2008
This CD is more than we expected. It's great for an Italian wedding, as it includes a great booklet to guide you through a traditional Italian wedding, but it is such a lively, fun, authentic CD, you could use it for any Italian themed event, from parties to festivals. It got my Nonna up dancing, so I know it was authentic and earned five stars!!!
Simply Fantastico--my review of The Italian Wedding CD May 7, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've read many a review about this CD on the internet, so I had to add my two cents. There is no better Italian Wedding CD on the market. Every track is performed live and one can hear that is it not canned. The music brings joy to the soul, and to any Italian event not only weddings. We LOVED it for our Nonna's 90th birthday. We will use it for our daughter's wedding next year. 5 stars.
Like Having A Live Performance March 16, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
We had wonderful, fun wedding party dances with The Italian Wedding CD by Roman Holiday. We live in Japan where wedding parties usually consist of long speeches but we wanted to liven up ours with some music from our family traditions. The Italian Wedding music provided such a lively atmosphere with not only the vibrant music and lovely singing but also with all the background cheering. It got everybody up and dancing, which was amazing, considering how shy the locals usually are. A booklet explaining the background on how to do the dances is included, which was very helpful.
This CD sounds like a live performance . We are really pleased with it and can't recommend it highly enough. Also, our plans were last minute and Giovanni and Tony very kindly sent their CD by Express mail and we got it in a couple days, in time for our wedding party. Their Italian Wedding Party album made our party so much fun!
The best Italian Wedding CD ever made. January 7, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
We've listened to numerous Italian tracks for our wedding but this album exceeds all expectations. The whimsy, deep emotion, and energy generated by these marvelous singers are here evident in every song. The sound quality of the disc is superb, recorded in true stereo. The 16 page booklet which comes with the CD on how to organize the Italian wedding was a wonderful bonus. You'll not be disappointed with this CD. If you're undecided about whether to buy this CD or not...BUY IT! This is one of those wonderful, but still too rare CD's, which pulls you in from the first note of the first track and never lets go.
Best italian wedding CD out there by far January 6, 2008

After buying a few really bad Italian CDs for our wedding this year, we came across this gem. Highly recommend! Even my Nonna loved it, and she is hard to please. Booklet on Italian wedding tradition is also cool. Thumbs up on this CD, especially for fun wedding music.
