Most Common Myths About Wedding Music

Forget all the myths you've heard about hiring and handling wedding pianists or DJs—we're here to debunk them once and for all. Yes, you can totally hire both a pianist and a DJ if you want to. No, you would not have total control over every song played (but you can communicate your preferences early and clearly). Here are the top wedding music misconception…and why they couldn't be further from the truth.

Myth 1: Slow songs must come first, followed by faster tunes after the cake cutting.

Some couples request Wedding Ceremony Musicians New Jersey entertainers to play '50s rock or big-band-style songs early on to please their older guests and then switch over to more lively beats so that the younger/new generation crowd can dominate the floor until the last call. But it can be more fun for you and your guests if you have your wedding pianist or keyboardist or DJ mix it up throughout the night. The idea of switching between music will keep wedding guests of all ages more engaged and encourage them to broaden the range of music they'll jam out to, with truly memorable results.

Myth 2: You have to hire a DJ or band—you can't have both.

If it fits in your budget, you can have the best of both forms of entertainment. Either hire the Best Pianists in New Jersey to be your emcee and perform while the band is on break or divide the evening into two portions.

Another option is to hire a band for your reception and a DJ to spin at the after-party. Or, in case you can't spring for a whole band, see about combining a few live musicians (like a duo or a trio) combined with a DJ. Some companies like Arnie Abrams Entertainment create packages where, for example, the musicians will play live piano music or a duo (keyboard & violin for example) for the ceremony and during cocktail hour, and then complement the DJ during the dancing by adding percussion or vocals (this is the most common approach to having the best of both worlds).
