Wedding entertainment is the most important part of wedding ceremony. Music plays vital role in wedding entertainment. Music is essential to add dignity and create the right mood and atmosphere for the most special occasion. If done right, it will inspire the guests to get down on the dance floor, heighten romance and hence, make your celebration special.

As Shakespeare says, "If music be the food of love, play on....”, it deserves the same careful planning as you do with other elements of your wedding. Here are some wedding music tips which can make your wedding day more enjoyable and will be remembered by all.

Know Your Audience

It is the first step while choosing a good music. You know your family and friends better than any DJ or bandleader. So, try to know if there is a song that will keep the guests from dancing or get them dancing.

Hear the Music First

Before booking, see and hear your musicians. Try to ask for a videotape, sample or demo CD of recording and make sure who exactly is on the recording. It will help you to choose best one.

Variety Is Key in Wedding Music

Try to bring variety in wedding music as everyone will not like the same music. You can tell your musician to play different type of music for wedding because what appeals to your school friends may or may not appeal your business colleagues.

Take Care Of Old Guests

Don’t ignore you Grandma and Grandpa because your old guests are as important as your friends. They will tend to leave first, so change your music selections accordingly. Towards the beginning of ceremony, you can play old music with current selection and in last hour you can go with current music.

Asking Guests about Their Favorite Music

It will be a great idea to ask the guests about their favorite music on reply card. It will help you to play the same music and get the guests excited for dancing. It will also ensure that the wedding music appeals to the wide variety of people.

Think About Overtime

Typically, DJs and Bands are hired for four hours, but if the wedding ceremony might last longer, you can book them for five hours. Traditionally, dancing starts after the cake is served. In modern time, it has become common to start it early. Hence, it is necessary to think about overtime.
