Experienced musicians have ideas about what is and is not appropriate for different parts of your wedding. They are aware of the proper times for musical fanfares and of the preferred kinds of music and songs for the ceremony. Be sure to discuss your own musical preferences.
Beware of bandleaders or DJs
who won't listen to your ideas.
They can be all too ready
to take over your event.
Beware the bandleader or deejay who won't listen to your ideas, or who doesn't return calls. Make sure you're on the same wavelength when it comes to entertainment -- including lighting, pacing, etc.
Don't forget these factors, which will also influence your musical choice:
The feeling you want to create
The time of day, emotional tone and your own style will contribute to this decision.
Your musical preferences
Classical or contemporary. Jazz or blues. Alternative rock or Motown. Do you want big-band swing or something funkier and more danceable?
Your budget
Can you afford romantic, old-fashioned strings or a resounding brass ensemble for the ceremony? For the reception, do you want background music or all-out dance tunes?
