Typically choose two musicians for cocktails, five for dinner and about ten musicians for dancing depending on the size of the room, number of guests, styles of songs and your budget. Contact the entertainers early and agree with the charges. It is however a good idea to compare the prices with at least another three performers. This will ensure you are fairly charged.
Choose songs that will describe the ambiance around and is relevant to the venue and the event. During the process out of the church or ceremony room, you can pick on a loud, eventful piece of recessional tune that declares you are now officially married. It will excite the crowd.
Where the ceremony is in a church and you do not often go to church, select hymns. You may choose two famous hymns that your friends and family might remember singing in school assemblies. Remember, if your event is in a church with a long aisle, you will need a longer piece of processional songs. This will last for the whole length of the procession.
It is important to hire a professional band or a DJ. Ask friends and newly married couples to recommend a good DJ. You may decide to hire a DJ to play amplified recorded tunes or hire a sound system for the harpist to apply a microphone to her performance. This is where the ceremony is in a big hall with tens of revelers. A good DJ will let you choose your own songs and will work with you to get the right mix.
When selecting your first dance, consider the special events that occur during the night. If you want melodies to accompany them like the entrance of the bridal party, cake cutting, religious or traditions songs with special meaning to your group. It is usually impossible to please everybody, but music is one area where you can try. Select songs that will suit guests of all age groups.
Delegate someone your best man, maid of honor, a family member to be in charge of the entertainers. The person will communicate with the bandleader throughout the night. They can let the band know if they are too loud, if you want faster music. Sometimes, DJ and bands cannot tell with certainty if the composition is getting too loud. Remember, you are paying a lot for music and have the right to be happy.
Stereo compositions is perfect for both indoors and outdoor weddings. This is especially if you do not want the hassle of booking live bands or purchasing the equipment. You should be clear as to what you want the musicians to do. Remember, to dance to your best the last dance song at the close of the ceremony. Make sure you select a tune that closes the day perfectly.
