Music For Your Reception
You need to put a lot of thinking and preparation into what music you want for your reception. Always chose songs that both you and your better half will love. The first thing you want to remember though is that the music you choose must create a comfortable and romantic atmosphere. It will be cheaper on your budget if you hire a DJ then if you were to hire a band or musicians.
If you want your musician to act as the master of ceremonies during the reception make sure he has a complete timeline for your reception and he knows when to announce the events such as first dance, toast, cutting of cake, tossing the bouquet and garter. If you want a large variety of music consider hiring a professional DJ. He can play any type of music and even offer a light show. Give him the list of the songs you want to played and the time for playing each song.
You can choose songs that are up-beat or even soft. It is always best to make sure that the next song ends smoothly and easily slows into the next song in line. That way people will hear the music and let it become apart of the background. It will set the mood for the whole reception.
