The choice of wedding music and entertainment for the evening celebrations depends on the tastes of the bride and groom, and the size of the reception.
Many couples want to end their wedding day in a social way with music that they can dance to.
If the bride and groom expect the guests to dance, then the music chosen should be lively and something that anyone of any age can dance to by offering a variety of tunes.
The music should not be too loud so that the guests can talk in a normal tone of voice if they choose to sit down during the dance.
If you are hiring musicians for the ceremony and the reception be aware that you may have to book them well in advance (in some cases it could be one year in advance).
