Ways to Choose your Music
Choosing the right music between you, your fiancé, and your wedding guest can be an overwhelming task. Here are some ways to narrow down your music...
1. Make a list and check it twice. Start by making these lists bellow to begin with.
2. What is the age range of your wedding party? Will there be lots of children? Do you want 80 year old grandma to care about the music selection?
3. What style of wedding are you having? You are sending a message to your guest as to what to expect by the style of wedding you select. For example, people probably won't do a keg stand if the wedding is an extremely formal event.
4. What songs do you absolutely love that make you want to dance? Ask any experienced DJ and they will tell you that the crowd will follow the bride. If the bride dances, so will her guests. This is why its important for the bride to be involved in the music selection to insure that songs will be played that fit her personality and love of music. Make a list of the top 10 songs that the bride absolutely loves to dance to.
