COLLABORATE WITH YOUR DJ OR BAND: Your DJ or band is an expert in wedding music and can provide suggestions based on your preferences.
THE TIMING: Play slower songs during the beginning of the dinner to allow for conversation, then transition to more upbeat songs as the night progresses.
MEMORABLE SONGS: Consider themes that have a special meaning to you and your partners, such as the song you danced to on your first date or the song you heard together.
