Making Your Wedding Music Decisions

You’ve been busy. From the minute you set the date it’s been about your gown, the wedding location, flowers, bridesmaids, ushers, honeymoon, registering, shopping and on and on.

But thank goodness…you’ve hired a great band or a fabulous DJ. At least your music is taken care of.

Or is it?

Don’t count on it. Sadly, hundreds of thousands of couples do their entire wedding planning so carefully, only to let the ball drop where the most emotional and critical part of their wedding is concerned…the music.

Until now, not enough information and guidance has been available to brides & grooms hiring bands and DJs, or for the final meeting with them just before the wedding. (That’s when you actually plan and ‘choreograph’ your wedding program). Because you’ll be asked so many questions and have to make so many on-the-spot decisions, you’ll want to have enough time beforehand to think and imagine how these choices will affect your wedding. When you don’t have a good idea of what you want, the band or DJ’s choices rule. That’s not to say that they won’t have good ideas, but remember…it’s not their wedding. It’s yours. The ideal situation is when you come to the planning sessions with an open mind and a clear vision.

If you’re wondering how to avoid last minute problems, and if you’d like to make your wedding a fabulous success…and we measure success by how good a time you and your guests have…we’re here to help with some suggestions for what to do first.
