Wedding Reception Music Playlists

View:

Before you do anything, you should answer the following questions:

What kind of music do you enjoy the most when you celebrate?

What kind of music would your guest enjoy the most? If there is a conflict between what the bride and groom and their wedding reception guests enjoy, a compromise might be necessary.

Do you prefer live music, or a DJ? Can you afford a live band?

You should book your wedding band or DJ about the same time you reserve your wedding reception venue. Why? Because your reception music will greatly depend on your wedding reception venue. If you want to have live music for your wedding, you need to make sure it is allowed by the reception venue. You need to make sure you understand the venue's rules about music before you select your wedding reception venue.

If you elect to go with a wedding band, be sure to book early. Popular bands are often booked more than one year in advance. Saturdays during the busiest wedding months are especially busy for wedding bands, so you might need to book even more than one year in advance.

Before you book your wedding music provider, you should ask the following questions:

How long have they been in the wedding business? You should go with an experienced band or DJ. Experience will usually yield a better quality performance.

Do they have any references? (You should always check references.) If the band is unable to provide references, you should walk.

Do they play live, continuous music for the entire event?

Can they play the songs you want to hear? The more songs they can play the better. Bands usually have song lists of all the songs they can play.

Do they have a demo CD, so you can sample their music? Is it possible for you to see one of their performances? There is no substitute for seeing a band in action.

Can you communicate with the band, and do you feel comfortable interacting with them? Are they listening to you; are they enthusiastic? Remember, the band is there to make your party fun, not the other way around. You hire them to play the music you like not the music they like.

How many band members do you get and how many are singers?

How long do they normally play, and how often do they break and for how long?

Are they insured? You should demand at least liability insurance from the wedding band or DJ.

Put everything important you agree on in writing. The answers to the above questions should all be part of the written contract, which is an absolute must. You should also include the exact time the band starts and ends playing.

If you have to work with a smaller budget, you might want to book a DJ instead of a wedding band since they are less expensive than wedding bands. An experienced DJ can create a great atmosphere for your wedding reception; so don't be disappointed if you can't afford a wedding band.

Remember to have fun; after all you are planning the most important and joyous day of your life!

Wedding Reception Music Playlists

Music is one of the most entertaining features of every wedding feast. Just like eating and drinking, there is no way in which music can be left out of a wedding party. Remember that it is not an obligation for music to be played at every wedding feast. But a wedding feast without music will never be appealing to your guest and even to you.

What you should know about music at every wedding feast is that the idea of including music in it is not necessarily for dancing. Music is simply to get the feast moving. A lot of features about music exist and this might make the best of your wedding party.

If you think about including music into your wedding plan, why not think of the game of musical chairs? Although this may sometimes be considered as an amusement meant for kids, it can be entertaining even to adults. You can use chairs for this game. In fact, everything that can take the place of chairs should be used. In some cases, the men may kneel down with one leg upward to serve as chairs for the women. The music is started and the women begin dancing around. When the music stops, all the women look for knees to sit on. If either or both of them fall to the ground, they are removed. The process goes on until just the final couple remaining carries the day.

You can use music to make this arrangement for anything. Remember that there is always a centerpiece waiting to be distributed. You can decide that the winner of this game gets the centerpiece. But make sure that you announce this ahead of getting your guests into the competition. But to make a fair representation of every person, you can call for every table to tender a representative.

There is one more inspiring game and this is known as “name the jingle”. But remember that this game will be enjoyed when the number of guest is small and when most of the guests are acquainted with both the bride and the groom. Before the music is played, you can come up with a list of tunes which are most cherished by the couple. Play just a small portion of the music and ask the guests to name the jingle. For the game to be easier and simpler, you should break up the guests into small groups. Remember that it will be easier and interesting to work in groups than as individuals.

Once the portion of the music is played, each group will have to name the tune. Usually, time limit should be given for the guess. If a group fails to name or guess the name of the music, the chance is given to the next group. Always create this in a way that will keep all your guests amused. Remember that this may not be feasible when dealing with a large guest.

One last feature about music is to let the guests move to the dance floor and perform what they know best. They can use what they know to call the bride and the groom and even other shy guests to the dancing floor.
