Whether you’re expecting 30 people or more than 300 to celebrate your joyous day, the following songs can maximize the excitement of the day and help your event go off without a hitch.
The flow of your event depends heavily on the Master of Ceremony (MC). Even if your budget can’t allow for a MC or DJ to direct the Reception, an MC of some sort (maybe a cousin or friend who works great with audiences) is a must. Keep your music within the theme of your wedding and play from multiple genres and time periods. This is also a great time to play a few songs that accentuate each family’s heritage and remember, it’s all about having fun!
