Hi Ladies! I've just finished with two planning meetings, back to back. Both couples had no clue which music to use for their specialty songs or how to choose their dance music for their wedding. So, here are my tips for choosing the best music for your wedding.
1. For your specialty songs, make sure both bride and groom agree. Your dj should have suggestion lists for each segment. If not, you do a google search for wedding music. There are tons of lists on the internet and most of them are very good.
2. Try to limit the "Do Not Play" list to just a few key songs. With AMT Entertainment, we will only play songs and genres that can be danced to, so you won't have to worry about the hard core rap or rock, or other music that is inappropriate. If you are not using us, definately communicate your wishes to your dj. But remember, even though you may not love the Electric Slide and other wedding standards, most of your guests will be expecting them. And they do help to get everyone involved.
3. Keep your "must play" list short and sweet. 8-10 songs max. Your dj's job is to take your music tastes and make a great dancing night out of it. If you restrict your dj to playing only what is on a list you've created, you will not get the optimum performance. You're paying good money for him, let him do his job (he should love it)!
4. Most of all, if there have been previous marriages in either person's life, make sure you include those weddings songs on the "Do Not Play" list.
I hope this information helps you in your search for the perfect music. If you have any questions, feel free to call me directly!
Sincerely,
Ann Marie
