Choosing the Perfect Wedding Music
When it comes to picking your wedding songs, initially most couples assume that this will be one of the less time-consuming wedding tasks. It's simple, right? You have your favorite music, the songs that you've always imagined dancing at your wedding to. But so does yoru partner, and so does all of yoru friends and family. And then there's the DJ's selection of available wedding songs. After considering all of the possibilities, you might begin to think about how much time this will truly take.
Meeting With The DJ
The first thing you'll want to do is select a local DJ by visiting the Val Vista Lakes Events Preferred Vendor Page. Here you will find a host of disk jockey's' that have hosted events at Val Vista Lakes and have won our seal of approval. OF course, they will host at any venue in the valley, so visit each of their websites to select a few to chat with. Each of the DJ's websites will have music selection, videos of actual weddings, pictures, and bio's. From here you should be able to gauge how each DJ website makes you feel, what they're performance style is like from the wedding videos, and who's bio suits you best.
Another wonderful way to select the perfect DJ is to simply get a referral. Who did your friends use? Do you remember attending a wedding where you thought the DJ was perfect? If you already have a DJ in mind, then you're one step ahead of the game.
Set a time and place to meet with the DJ. Many times, meeting with the DJ at the chosen Arizona wedding venue will help them to get an idea of what kind of wedding you're looking for. In most situations, the DJ will probably have been to every Arizona wedding venue and knows what to expect, but this is your wedding and you need to make sure the DJ knows exactly what you're looking for.
Selecting the Play Lists
With today's technology, many couples planning their weddings already have a slew of songs in their collection that they can choose from. With iPods, MP3's, Free downloads, and mobile phones that hold hundreds of songs, the money-savvy-DIY bride and groom can choose to provide their own MP3's for the wedding. Consult with your DJ to make sure he has the technology and equipment to support whichever music downloads you bring.
If you don't want to bother with selecting your favorite playlist, take some time to let your DJ know what your style is. What kind of mood do you want to set during dinner? During the cake cutting? During appetizers? Each portion of your wedding can have its own playlist, and should have its own playlist to help set the mood. When you're making that infamous first cut into the cake, do you want romance to be the theme or flimsy and fun to be the mood? When you're taking pictures and your guests are enjoying drinks and appetizers, do you want the setting to be relaxed and vacation-like, or upbeat and ready to party?
Make absolute sure that your DJ has a specific set of mood songs, theme songs, or at least an idea of what kind of setting that you want to set for each portion of your Arizona wedding.
Selecting the No-Play Lists
Every wedding has those time-honored reception songs. The Conga Line, the Chicken Dance, Shout and the Macarena are those songs that you either love to dance to at a wedding or you can't stand the sound of. Decide whether you want those stereotypical songs at your reception or not, and come up with a No-Playlist for your DJ. I can't tell you how many Arizona weddings I've been to wear the bride and groom have mentioned certain songs that they don't want to be played, and then a guest requests one of those songs and the DJ plays it anyways. It can create quite a firestorm at the reception, so be sure to make it clear if there are songs you don't want to hear at your reception. It's your day, so be clear with your No-Playlist.
