Whatever the crowd may be, you as the bride and groom have the final say on what to play and what NOT to play.
As the night progresses the dj should know the proper protocol to either slow the crow down with a slow song or wake the guests up with some popular main stream music that’s heard today.
You can never go wrong with popular artists like Micheal Jackson, Beyonce Frank Sinatra and Lady Gaga. This seems like the whole entire specter and well, it is. Mixing certain music at certain times gives chances for guests that may not be so inclined to dance the night away to showcase some of their moves with the songs of their choice.

Lets be honest, if you didnt have music at your wedding, well the reception could be a bit “dry”. Not to say, limited music is not bad, it’s just music is such a staple at a wedding that you want it to be powerful and offering choices to your guests.
Step 1: Try to think of songs that you know you absolutly want played at your wedding.
Step 2: Branch off of that one song and think of alternatives that are familiar to sound.
Say you love Frank Sinatra but only want a few songs of his, try to consider some basic jazz songs for your cocktail hour that may sound like Frank but has the ora of his songs.

You want to dance the night away to a few Lady Gaga songs, but don't want it to become a GAGA concert, think of music that could possibly be comparable to hers.
Its all in the way the dj transitions these songs and in what time. Remember next time you meet with your dj, talk about possible alternatives to the songs you love and you'd be surprised of what they would have in their dj database!
Happy music planning!

ReplyDeleteJazz guitar players often incorporate their phrasing with the idea of natural breathing and legato phrasing. This creates a natural time feel which in turn Top 5 Jazz Songs of the 20th Century helps you get a little swing and groove in to the music.
