There is no other form of having fun for a wedding than a hot dance floor. So it\u2019s very important to assure yourself first of all that you have good music at the wedding and in the same time you have to think seriously if you want to apply for a live band or a DJ. We\u2019ve prepared some pieces of advice to share with you and we\u2019re certain that they\u2019re going to seem really interesting\u2026.<\/p>\n

The money aspect\u2026.
\n
\nHiring a band or a DJ<\/strong>? The budget is going to be the decisive part. The price of a DJ can get cheaper than a band, but if the idea of a DJ doesn\u2019t tempt you can start negotiating with the musicians or choosing a smaller band.

\nSearching for talents\u2026.<\/p>\n

In order to find out the price of a big band or a DJ, you can start with asking the piece of advice of the owner of the salon and the manager of the location, the friends or relatives. You can consult the manager of your favorite club and bar also, this is also another solution as well.<\/p>\n

In order to make a general search, verify the list and the local magazines, or try to apply for an online agency.<\/p>\n

The next step is to meet with the potential DJs and bands and you have to ask some questions, like how many breaks they take and how long these are, what kind of music they place at your disposal during the breaks and so on\u2026.<\/p>\n

\"Hiring

Some other questions that you can ask are related to the supplementary hours and how much they cost you, what kind of backup plan they have for you and the equipment and the instruments that you can apply in addition are also important to be known.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t sign anything without following a live act or on video or in person. Pay attention to the quality of the sound, the style, performance and aspect.<\/p>\n

\"Hiring

Choose the songs\u2026.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve chosen the band and the DJ, choose the songs and the key moments: from entering in the first dance to the last one. Give the band or the DJ a list from which they can observe clearly what songs you want. Or, if you\u2019re not that fancy, create only a list of the songs you wouldn\u2019t want to hear.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how we would like to share also some of the most popular songs used in weddings, like\u2026.<\/p>\n

Songs used commonly for the first dance: Shania Twain\u2019s From this moment on, Frank Sinatra\u2019s The way you look tonight, Etta James\u2019 At last.<\/p>\n

Popular songs for the father \u2013 daughter song: The Temptation\u2019s My Girl, Louis Armstrong\u2019s What a wonderful world, Stevie Wonder\u2019s Isn\u2019t she lovely, Beyonce\u2019s Dady and Madonna\u2019s I\u2019ll remember.<\/p>\n

\"Hiring

Famous songs for the mother – son dance: Kenny Rogers\u2019 Through the years, Billy Withers\u2019 Lean on me, Sam Cooke\u2019s When a boy falls in love, John Lennon\u2019s Beautiful boy.<\/p>\n

And here are some famous songs for the last dance: Donna Summer\u2019s Last dance, Billy Joel\u2019s Piano Man, The Beatles\u2019s With a little help from my friends, Guns n\u2019 Roses with Paradise city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
