A Guide To Choosing Your Wedding Music

You won�t be able to cater to the music tastes of every single guest at your wedding, so the easiest option is to choose a style of music that suits you and your partner. Wedding songs come in many different forms, from jazz bands to heavy metal. Here is a quick list:

Professional wedding bands

Cover bands

Solo DJ�s
DJ/MC packages that include lighting, sound system and microphone

String ensembles
- acoustic solo performers, duos and trios

Obviously, you will be able to narrow down your selection according to the type of venue you have, you music budget and the overall ambience of your wedding. For example, you won�t want a backyard hardcore trance DJ at a classic and elegant wedding reception.

You might also want one type of music for the ceremony and one for the reception. A solo violinist playing as you walk down the aisle and a three-piece jazz band for the reception can give your wedding a completely different vibe than if similar music was played for both.

If a strict budget is your main consideration, try asking your musically inclined friends and family to help out. It is also a good idea to see any performers you like in action before the day or ask for their CD to listen to.
