How to Pick Music for Your 2011 Wedding Reception 03/19/2011
1 Comment
 
There are 3 catagories of music to consider when choosing music for your wedding.

The first is the background music. This is music that will be played as your guests arrive for your ceremony and cocktail hour, or during dinner. You can choose to have your DJ select what he will or you can be as involved in selection as you want to be. Ask your DJ for a list of artists that he would play for background music. Feel free to also select all of the songs for your background music. A great Wedding DJ will make sure he has all of the songs you request and he will incorporate them at the appropriate times during the night.

The second catagory of music is the dedicated songs, or special moments music. These are specific songs for your ceremony and the special activities at your reception. These songs should be chosen by your and your fiance and should reflect your personality and style. Don't hesitate to ask your DJ for some lists and suggestions. The songs you select for these activities will be attached to memories that you will carry with you for a long time.

The final category is the music for dancing. You should definitely go over the types and styles of music that you would like for dancing at your reception with your DJ. This will included favorite artists, types of music, and specific songs. You should also discuss with your DJ what songs not to play! A great DJ will play what music you want first, what your guests want second, and will play what will fit the best for the others. Your DJ should work with you and your guests even before the wedding day to know what will and will not be played. A great Boise Wedding DJ will not just push play, but select each song, one at a time, according to the evening. Good luck with selecting all of your wedding day music, and have lots of fun with it!

Great tips here, picking music for you wedding is sometimes overlooked, until the DJ plays that one song the bride really hates at the reception...

    "Adam was fun, professional and just a perfect pick for my daughter's
    wedding. My wife and daughter came home from the wedding fair and were certain they had found the right company in Sound Wave Music, after meeting Adam and Kristin, they were right! The entire evening went smoothly, we loved the music and the timely announcements kept everything on schedule. Adam kept the dance floor full and we literally had guests from 2 to 95 on the floor at different times, all enjoying themselves.
    Sound Wave really is a "one call" solution for professional music and
    a fun evening."    - Mark

    "Sound Wave Music is the BEST.‎ Kristin, Adam, and the team at Sound Wave did our wedding in March and we highly recommend you book them for your next event. They really cared about giving us and our guests an amazing time and even let our guests request songs weeks before they came to the wedding. They were perfect with keeping us on time and making sure that everything went smoothly and that we all had a great time!"
