Styles Playing a variety of music styles is a big part of programming that will make the dancing segment of your wedding reception a huge success. Ethnic tunes, oldies, and today's hits should be combined in a cohesive presentation to allow your guests the opportunity to participate in your celebration, and enjoy themselves on the dance floor. DJs have an advantage over bands in this case because they have a broader selection of musical styles at their disposal. You may have specific songs which you would like to have played during your reception, and you may prefer to eliminate certain songs or kinds of music. Your special selections and musical wishes should be conveyed to your entertainer well in advance of your wedding day.
Professional entertainers know when it is acceptable to honor requests.
Music Taboos Some music types and songs are unsuitable to play at wedding receptions. Playing heavy metal or gangsta rap, for example, might upset or displease some of your guests. Also, songs containing objectionable language should not be played. Announcements Whether you book a DJ or a band, you will have someone on hand to MC the festivities. Announcements shouldn't pose a problem for any performer.
