Musical mistakes to watch for
MS –Wedding guests are usually
anxious to head to the reception,
where they can let loose and party.
Music is an essential component of a
lively and fun wedding reception,
and there are some musical miscues
couples should look to avoid to
ensure the music is not memorable
for all the wrong reasons.
• Blocks of silence: Nothing makes
time seem interminable more than
silence. Always have a constant flow
of music to avoid awkward silences.
This includes the time guests are
waiting prior to the ceremony as well
as when they’re entering the cocktail
hour. Music will help everyone feel
comfortable, and it creates a pleasing
atmosphere, so make sure music
plays throughout the festivities.
• Second-guessing a professional:
In an effort to curb costs, some
couples provide their own playlists
via an smartphone or a streaming
service for the music. This is often a
mistake. Hiring a professional
means you will not have to worry
about managing music on top of
your many other wedding day
responsibilities. A band or deejay
usually also serves as the emcee for
the event, announcing key moments
of the reception as well as getting
guests up on the dance floor.
• Playing only one type of music:
Playing too many songs from one
genre of music will alienate some of
the guests who simply are not
interested in that type of music.
Professional deejays or performers
know how to offer a great mix that
will appeal to the masses, and they
are often well worth the cost. Try to
span different decades and genres to
keep as many of your guests on the
dance floor as possible.
• Failure to make a song list: Some
songs you may feel are essential to
the wedding and others may be on a
do-not-play list and are associated
with negative memories. Band
leaders and deejays are not mind
readers. Give your band leader or
deejay ample time to review your
requests so that he or she has time to
find a song that may not be in his or
her collection.
• Dancing to long songs: Pay
attention to a song’s length, and
choose spotlight dance songs wisely.
Remember that guests will be
watching you dance with parents or
each other, and a five-minute song
can seem never-ending while others
are waiting around.
Avoid very long songs, as the mix
of music should be upbeat. The
wedding isn’t the time to play
“American Pie” by Don McClean,
Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” or
Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird”.
• Inappropriate lyrics and volume:
Keep the music at an acceptable
volume and avoid songs with
suggestive language or curse words
that are inappropriate in a family
setting.
Music is a key element of any
good party, including a wedding
reception, and it’s essential that
couples take steps to avoid any
musical miscues.
Making it work
Avoid long songs to make sure your guests and bridal party can keep dancing as long as they
like and make sure that the volume and lyrics are appropriate to the venue so all the guests
at the reception can remember a good time. (MS Photo)
