Being too hands-on about your music selection for your band or DJ can work against you more often than not.
You might have a ‘must play list’ or even a ‘do not play list’ to hand over to your wedding singer, but doing this without consulting with your wedding musicians first is not advised.
Your band will have played tonnes of weddings and events to hundreds of friends, cousins, siblings, aunties, uncles, grandmas… it goes on. Putting together a wedding playlist that keeps such a mixed bunch of people is truly an art form and one you really should trust the experts on.
One of the things about having a killer wedding reception is getting everyone involved. Your band will take this into account when choosing the songs to fill your dance floor, meaning they wont stick to one genre, won’t just play Lady Gaga and will have an awesome playlist of popular songs for all ages!
Yes, you can absolutely choose the odd song or two, or let your band know about your wedding music preferences, but leave the intricacies of the set list down to them. You won’t regret it.
