What type of music will you have at your
ceremony and reception? A very common question, and as many suggestions and answers
as people that you ask. Which is right for your style, type of wedding, and most
importantly...your budget?
The type of wedding that you are having
should help determine the type of music that you will have. A formal wedding more
than likely won't include a reggae band...you see what we mean here.
Whether you decide to use a band, or DJ be sure
and check them out as much as possible. This is the most troublesome place for most
bridal couples, and can be quite stressful.
Which is better??? We won't make that call, but here
are some considerations to think about whichever you choose.
 | Choose a professional.... Often are the regrets for
letting Cousin Vinny DJ the wedding. It may be 'nice' and cheaper, but if the music
and entertainment are bad, people will remember that. |
| Are they experienced in doing weddings? |
| Don't be afraid to ask for referrals. Your
friends, family, and other wedding merchants can be helpful in this area. Wedding
merchants have worked with alot of different people over the years. Let their
experience help you. |
| Can you see them, either through videotape, or can
you see them perform somewhere before committing to this person or band? |
| What do they do to get the 'crowd' going at the
reception? |
| Will they be taking breaks, how long and how
often. What will be played during these breaks? |
| Do they have a "back-up"..... just in
case??? |
| Are they open to your ideas and suggestions,
remember this is YOUR DAY, not theirs. |
| Are requests OK from your guests |
| Be sure to give them a complete list of the bridal
parties, and help them with any 'tough' names to pronounce. |
| Be very sure to confirm the itinerary for your
reception. This way you can set some plans and make sure that everything is done on
time. |
| Verify who will actually be acting as the DJ/ Emcee
at your reception. Sometimes the person you meet with, is not the person that
actually performs at the wedding. |
| Give them a list of the special songs that you will
use for things like the father/daughter dance, the couples first dance, and who the artist
is. It's easy to forget that songs are recorded by different artists, avoid the
possibility for confusion. |
| Verify how long the DJ/Band will be at the
reception. You don't want the music to stop too early. |
Be sure to contact the professionals
listed on this page. They will be helpful in planning the perfect entertainment for
your wedding day.
