Any wedding occasion will not be complete without the wedding reception. If the wedding ceremony is the solemn celebration, the wedding reception is the time for congratulations all round. Therefore, the wedding reception music should be lively and should create a happy atmosphere inside the venue.

As the newlywed couple walk in as well as the guests, musicians should strike up a song to set a cheerful mood from the outside. Any music style that puts a spring in the step can be appropriate. If you want a glamorous up-market ambience to the occasion, you can choose light classic or swing. But if you want a friendlier family feel, you can consider traditional and well-known tunes that people will recognize.

Wedding Reception Music Options

At the reception, you can choose from live band music, music from duo or trio performers, or perhaps you can just settle on recorded music to be played by a disc jockey. Hiring a live band is a good option. However, before ordering one for the wedding reception, you should ask them if you could listen to their music first. You should also talk to them about their emcee duties.

Another option for entertainment is to get duo or trio performers. A duo can provide sufficient atmosphere for up to 70 people. A trio, on the other hand, is recommended for 100 guests. And for a larger group, sometimes you should start considering a quartert. Whether you hire a duo, trio, or quartert, your specific choice of music should be discussed to them well before the event and they should also provide you with ideas to make the reception even more entertaining.

And lastly, you can hire a disc jockey to play recorded music. A good disc jockey with experience on weddings can entertain in between breaks. If you consider this option, you have to plan your wedding reception music early because good talents usually get booked fast. You do not want to end up having to select a brand new disc jockey with very little experience at weddings.

These are some of the options that you can look into when you plan for your wedding reception music. Whatever you choose, just make sure that the wedding music played will be appropriate for the occasion and that it will keep on going at all times to avoid the dreaded silence. Remember, your wedding should be a happy and lively event.
