Make the People Dance With Great Wedding Reception Music

Ok, there are a couple types of wedding reception music that you can select from when looking at entertainment for your reception. You can have a live band that will play its own songs and a variety of others, or a DJ who can play pretty much anything. Both options work for everybody and it just depends on your manner and flavor of music. Just don’t forget about the wedding reception music and leave it to the last minute. You don’t want to end up with an experienced disc jockey or band.

A live band is what is most often desired for wedding reception music. Besides the fact that is a little bit more traditional, older guest at your wedding will love it as it will remind them of their weddings. Even more so, if you get a live jazz band or a band that can play a classic selection of songs. This isn’t also how it works though, and it might not be what you are looking for in a live band.

It is fantastic if you can find a band that can play anything. If you can get a group of musicians that can play both classics and newbie’s than you have got a sure-fire hit for your wedding reception music. Most importantly, you want to locate a band that will be excited to play at your wedding and bring enthusiasm to you reception. It is really going to depend on how entertaining the band leader is in order for the band to get your guests dancing away.

Disc jockeys, have become the modern and hip substitute for wedding reception music these days though. Once again, a lot depends on the type of person the DJ is and what type of music they are interested in playing. It is of the greatest importance to listen and get a list of songs they have played at recent receptions, so you can get an idea of the music you will be listening too. Sometimes, DJ’s end up being disappointing and have a hard time getting your guests excited.

A benefit of hiring a disc jockey to play your wedding reception music, is that they aren’t going to need a break in between songs. This will avoid any huge awkward breaks that will probably occur with a live band. DJ’s are also less expensive than bands most of the time, so this can help couples with a budget. You might have to look around though for a decent DJ that isn’t costly.

Choosing between a live band and a DJ for your wedding reception music is all based on your personal taste. Look around and get a few sample CD’s from each band or disc jockey so you have a better idea of you choices.
