Like any wedding-related topic, wedding music is subject to many myths and much well-intentioned advice from family and friends. If you’re feeling confused about what’s fact and what’s fiction, read on as we uncover some of the most common myths (and truths) about wedding music.

Myth: The DJ Will Play Tasteless Tunes No Matter What You Say.

    This myth couldn’t be further from the truth! Today’s professional DJs are a far cry from the stereotypes of the past. A great DJ will work closely with you to understand your music preferences and create a playlist that aligns with your vision for the day. To make sure everything runs smoothly, communicate your tastes and any “do not play” songs upfront.

 

Truth: Choosing Your First Dance Song Feels Like a Huge Decision.

    Picking the perfect first dance song can feel monumental, and rightfully so—it’s a song that will forever be associated with your wedding and the start of your life together. Don’t rush the decision. Take the time to find a song that feels meaningful for both of you, one that captures your relationship and makes you both happy.

 

Myth: The DJ Will Talk Too Much.

    Worrying about a chatty DJ is a common concern for brides, but open communication can alleviate this worry. If you prefer a low-key presence, make it clear with your DJ. Most will be happy to keep announcements to a minimum and let the music take center stage.

 

Truth: You’ll Want to Control Everything.

    It’s interesting how many brides who are relaxed about other wedding details still want to have a say over every song that plays. It’s completely natural! Music is personal, and it’s one of the elements that can deeply shape the mood of the evening. Trust your DJ, but don’t hesitate to voice your preferences or any specific song choices that are important to you.

 

Myth: You Have to Choose Between a Band and a DJ.

    Why not have both? If your budget allows, many couples find that the combination of live music and a DJ offers the best of both worlds. A live band can make the evening feel intimate and energetic, while a DJ can keep things going smoothly with a wide selection of tunes during breaks. Mixing it up can provide variety and excitement throughout your celebration.

Planning your wedding music doesn’t have to be stressful. By debunking these common myths and staying true to your own tastes, you’ll set the perfect tone for your wedding day!
