Wedding Reception Music: What You Need To Know.

TWO things your guests will remember is food and the experience at the reception. This reception experience is how good or bad the music was. Of this two, music comes first.

It will be good, therefore, to know what makes a memorable reception when it comes to music.

In this post, we have explained the factors to consider if you are keen on wowing your guest’s with music at the reception.

Let’s start,

1. Diversity.

Make sure the dj or band understands this. They should have a variety of songs in their playlist. The reason is simple. Your guests are of different ages with different tastes and what may appeal to your age mates will not go well with the older or the younger group of guests.

To accommodate everyone on the dance floor there should be a mix of all songs so that you keep everyone on the dance floor.

2. Understand your guests.

This will go a long way in choosing your playlist. You have interacted with most of the guests including your family and friends and roughly have an idea of the music they like. Make sure to comprise a list of “never to be played” music so that your band or dj know exactly what to play.

This list is equally important as the “must play”. It ’s your day and you should not hesitate from making everything understood by your wedding reception music planner or dj.

To help you understand your guests better, you may creatively ask them the kind of music they like on the reply card.

3. Start before the reception.

This will be meant to give your guests what will be at the reception. Keeping them eagerly waiting for the reception.

Energetic music may be played during the cake cutting. Or a little dance with the bridal party after the vows are exchanged. Ideally, you are enticing the guests for the reception.

Finally, with the above points followed faithfully, wedding reception music should not be a nightmare whether you are a wedding DJ, wedding organizer, or it's your own wedding.
