All the stages of your wedding day will contain some sort of music that will help to enhance the perfect atmosphere. In order to find the type of instrumentals that you want contact your local musician's guild or get the help of a music consultant.  Many churches will offer their own musicians as options for your ceremony. These usually include an organist/pianist and perhaps a vocalist. You should explore other options before booking these musicians. Remember that there is a lot of variety available for weddings. Church musician fees are not usually included in the booking fee. Outdoor and home weddings sometimes have special requirements for music. It is important for the musicians to know how much open space will need to be filled. Also if the yard contains any trees or buildings that could possibly act as a barrier. Check with the superintendent for amplification facilities.  Many DJ's will come in and set up early so that they will be able to provide you with classical music during your dinner. If you wish to include this in your package specify before signing a contract. Live instrumentations such as a pianist, accordion or perhaps a trio will help add to your overall dinner. A band or a DJ will help to get the theme of celebration in the air. They will provide the kind of music that you will want to hear at your dance or social. Make sure you list specific pieces you want to hear starting with your first song. You should also consider what others might like to hear such as jazz, 60's music, or perhaps your parent's first song that they danced to. Your DJ will need to know in advance the type of crowd that they will be dealing with so they will be able to prepare the appropriate music. Your guests and you will listen to the music of your choice for the duration of the wedding. In the end it is worth paying a few extra dollars for a DJ or band that is experienced and contains quality equipment and professional musicians.
