«Music makes the people come together» - Madonna
Music plays such an essential role in every event and weddings especially! The choice of it is so important for every stage of your celebration as it helps to create the exact emotional state for every part of it. Light music for the cocktail, emotional and meaningful music for the ceremony, lively dance music for the dinner and disco for the afterparty, for example!
My recommendation would be not to have live music for the ceremony, because:
• What if musicians don’t come (late, accident, sick)?
• They can start later than needed and finish later than you demanded, especially when you plan for ceremony scenario, because they are humans and cannot deem the music like you do with record.
• If they play acoustically and weather conditions are tricky - they may demand additional sun protection like umbrellas, or to move them somewhere, their music sheets can fly away. If lots of people are outside during the ceremony, not everyone will hear the sound equally.
Don’t forget to always have HIT LIST and STOP LIST for your djs event after defining the styles you like. Choose 20-30 songs you absolutely want to hear and list of those that under no conditions (even if your favorite grandma demands) will be played during the night.
Also, it is really important to have it technically provided and supported by professional teams (and not your relatives, best man, etc.) - what if something goes wrong? Can they fix it? Is it safe electricity wise? What to do if they cannot fix it? Can they bring an extra/spare set or cable? During important moments like the ceremony or first dance, you shouldn’t be worrying about this; it’s best left to the professionals.
It is especially important if you have any celebrities coming to sing at your event - but here we definitely recommend you to have an organizing team who will have one separate person taking care of their technical, logistical and common demands for you! It can be super tricky!
