We’re contemplating music options for our wedding and are wondering what other people have done.  Our venue is a yard/tent and ceremony and everything will happen in the same space.  I’m wanting live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour.  Is music usually played during dinner?  I have no idea!  We’re then thinking of either keeping the same band for the dancing after dinner or switching to a dj.  How has everyone handled all of this?  Thanks so much.

We only had music during our cocktail hour and dinner, before the band started playing for our dance. There was no music during our ceremony.

You could easily do live music for the ceremony and and cocktail hour, and then maybe have a DJ play love songs during dinner so that it’s not super quiet – and then the same DJ could start up your dance.

I made up a playlist of my favorite songs about love and had that play from my iPod – which worked great and was easy to do.
