CREATING THE ATMOSPHERE
There are quite a few options when it comes to the music you’ll be playing at your wedding. When
touring venues, it’s a good idea to talk with the venue manager about what type of music typically
works best for the space. Things like electricity for a DJ or space for a band or musicians will be
important when it comes time for the event. Choose one or more music options based on what
will fit your budget, wedding style, and desired wedding vibe.

Strings: This is a popular option for
ceremonies, and can also be used for
music at the cocktail hour or dinner.
Soloists: A soloist at your wedding
ceremony will make it feel intimate and
memorable. Hire a singer, or ask a
talented friend or family member to sing
a song that’s special to you.
DJ: If your reception venue has limited
space, you should use a DJ. They don’t
use up as much space as a band and
usually cost less, making them a good
way to save money while still providing a
great wedding experience.
Band: Bands provide a unique
experience, and the energy of a live
performance is hard to beat. If you’re
willing to spend a little more money and
have the extra space, a band is the way
to go.
Playlist: If a band or DJ is outside of your
budget, and you want to truly personalize
your wedding, make your own playlist.
You can rent a sound system and ask a
friend to supervise. Just make sure the
music appeals to everyone!
