What's a wedding without great music?
Something old, something new, something borrowed...something blues? Classical? Choral? The right musical style can make any wedding or reception truly unforgettable. To help you find the perfect wedding entertainment, we've compiled a step-by-step wedding planning checklist for your big day.
Step One - Choose Your Songs
Start by deciding which songs you'd like to hear during your ceremony and reception. Naturally, the performers will need your song list — to make sure they can play or sing the titles you're requesting.
Step Two - Choose Your Performers
Below we've listed the four most popular wedding music options. Remember, it's best to have a general idea about the order of your service — soloist or ensemble for the ceremony? DJ or live band for the reception? This will be very helpful when selecting performers. And keep in mind: many performers charge by the song, so choose your selections carefully.
Wedding DJs - a Wedding DJ will offer you a lot of flexibility. By providing a combination of live entertainment and all your favorite songs (in practically any music style), you can have a wonderfully fun and very entertaining reception!
Wedding Bands - hire professional wedding bands for your big day. Whether you need a live wedding band for your ceremony, cocktail hour, or wedding reception, you'll easily find the perfect wedding music band for your special day.
Wedding Orchestras - with high energy and large ensembles, wedding orchestras contribute to a unique atmosphere at your reception. The variety of vocalist talent and instruments from strings to brass give the performers great flexibility in entertaining your guests.
Wedding Singers - hire professional Wedding Singers in your area. Whether you need a wedding singer for your ceremony, cocktail hour, or wedding reception, you'll easily find the perfect wedding music singer for your special day.
Step Three - Find performers, check availability, confirm rates.
You can hear audio clips, view video samples, read reviews, bios and testimonials that are usually provided on their website or search the internet.
Step Four - Book the Music Entertainment
Once you find the band, singer or soloist, DJ or ensemble you want, book them quickly. Hesitating could mean forfeiting the performer you truly want. The sooner you book, the sooner you'll guarantee a fabulous ceremony and reception.
