Because there is such musical variety available to brides and grooms, selecting your reception music might be difficult.
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 venues 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...
