We're planning on hiring a DJ for the wedding that can handle dinner music as well as party music afterwards. We're still on the hunt for this - but hoping we can find someone for under $1,000. Originally we were budgeting about $600 but it looks like we'll have to bring someone into my hometown and will likely have to pay one nights accommodation for them.
We still need to figure out if we'll have any music during the ceremony and then our first dance song. What did you guys do for your music during the ceremony?
There are two options for ceremonhy location at our venue. One is at the old barn where there is little or no access to electricity (unless we used extension cords) - and the other option is on the North facing side of the venue where they have a nice stone feature wall. My preference is the barn - but this may impact our music options.
The other thing is our first song....here's a song that Jordan found that he really loved! I think it's pretty great too - but I thought I would put it out there and ask you for suggestions too.
It's by Ray Robinson and is called "Be The One": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4UYpbmBQ0c
I can't find lyrics written out to this exact version of the song and it looks like from googling the lyrics there is more than one....I like the one specifically in this You Tube video - but so far haven't been able to hear each and every word - so I'm open to hearing your thoughts.
Wedding Music!

ReplyDeleteWe are getting married in a garden, so we don't really have access to electricity. We are having a guitarist play for our ceremony. We like the "oldies but goodies"...in our ceremony we're using The Beatles, Elvis, and Ben E. King :)
