Music for your Reception
From the traditional wedding march to the
last dance of the evening, your music will
set the mood and tone of your wedding day.
W ith so many ways to create the musical mood
you desire and an atmosphere your guests will
remember, you must first know your budget. Know
what kind of music you want. Keep in mind the
number and age range of your wedding
guests, whether you have a formal or
informal wedding, and any special
requirements throughout the day.
If you've been to a wedding
where you've enjoyed the
music, that band or DJ
may be your best choice.
Gather recommendations
from friends and family,
call the band and DJ
specialists in this section,
attend bridal shows,
interview potential
entertainers, watch
videos, listen to demos
and, most importantly,
hear them perform before
you make your decision.
Start interviewing for musical
entertainment after you know

Once you choose a band or DJ, let them
know the specifics of your wedding. Ask if they
have any special requirements. Also remember to

receives a check when the evening is over.
