Wedding Entertainment

I think Carly mentioned at one time (and I would agree) that the main thing people remember at a wedding is the food, the alcohol and the music. I've started to think about what kind of music I'd want at our wedding. Carly and I have already started debating on what the first dance song should be but we have a long time to decide on that. Apparently Freak Me by Silk isn't an option...just kidding :-P

After attending a number of weddings, I've seen the mix between live band and DJ. I'd say I'm somewhat of a music snob in terms of songs and play lists. If anyone's been to a Quoctail or Birthday Extravaganza, they know I take seriously what types of songs are played and in what order. I think that a live band is a way to go to really get the party started but there are certain songs that you need to hear the original for which is where it makes sense to have a DJ. The last thing I want is to have our first dance song covered by a live band and it sound like a Friday night karaoke version. I'm starting to think that doing both is the way to go. I technically don't even need a DJ...I'll just queue up the old laptop to fill in.

I have no idea what live band to pick (anyone have recommendations?) but I've joked all along that by the time Carly and I are married, it should be reasonable in price to have Boyz II Men sing at our wedding and just do Motown covers all night. Now that would be sweet!
