Music can be extremely powerful when it comes to creating the right ambiance – which is precisely why it is considered to be one of the most important elements at a wedding. How do you choose the perfect music provider, though? What are some of the most important things to consider before signing on the dotted line?
We have gathered some essential wedding music selection tips for you – so read on to find out more.
- First and foremost, set your budget – and be religiously strict about it. Yes, music is important and it is crucial that you don’t skimp on this huge element of the Big Day. At the same time though, going out to “hunt” for music professionals without knowing your budget can be a risky business and it can generate financial trouble later on.
- Once you have decided on the budget (and, consequently, on whether a DJ or a band is best for you), start asking around. Couples who have recently gotten married and wedding vendors can offer you some great suggestions for quality DJs and musicians in your area – so it’s more than worth listening to what they have to say.
- If you have already chosen a music provider, make sure to interview them and to ask the right questions. How much they will stay at your wedding and what is their overtime policy, how they plan to deal with breaks and unexpected events – these are things you have the right to know before you sign a contract.
- Last, but definitely not least, watch your chosen musician or DJ perform live. If you cannot see him/her/them at an actual wedding, ask to see a recording, as this will offer you a much clearer idea of how professional they are and if their style suits your wedding too.
