There’s nothing like music to create the desired<br />
atmosphere at any occasion, but a wedding<br />
reception has several phases and needs the right<br />
music at the right time.<br />
As guests arrive at the reception venue, soft background<br />
music allows greetings, introductions and conversation to<br />
flourish. Ideal “mood” makers are a string quartet, a small jazz<br />
band or “café” music on a playlist.<br />
During the meal, background music lets guests enjoy both<br />
the company and the cuisine. Choose instrumental “cocktail”<br />
music that is themed to suit the style of your wedding or lyrics<br />
that are easy on the ears.<br />
The First Dance indicates formalities are almost over and<br />
it is time for the party to begin. You may stay traditional with<br />
a Bridal Waltz or surprise your guests with something fun and<br />
funky instead.<br />
The music that gets your guests onto the dance floor<br />
needs to have a definite beat, be well known with a variety<br />
from all decades to accommodate all ages. A live band creates<br />
excitement and theatre, but may limit the style of music to<br />
their specialism be it jazz, blues, soul, pop, reggae, country,<br />
cultural or rock n roll. Discuss a performance list of what they<br />
will play, how long they will play and ensure the venue can<br />
accommodate their electronic and acoustic requirements.<br />
Alternatively a DJ can cover a lot of musical bases with<br />
a varied choice throughout the evening. Tailor the music to<br />
provide changes of mood and pace from smooth croon to<br />
pumping beats as the party peaks.<br />
You may want to involve other entertainment like karaoke<br />
for your guests, dance demos, jugglers, comedians, soloists and<br />
other musicians or pyrotechnics to music and a laser light show<br />
– so if the music mood takes you, have the time of your life!<br />
