Music
Set the stage for your vintage wedding with these hit songs from your favourite decade.
Can We Mix Up Our Music?
Having different styles of music at your reception won’t seem strange at all. Think about it — the thousands of couples who have DJs probably don’t ask them to stick to a single genre of music right? And among those who choose to have live music, it’s not uncommon to have different musicians play during…

Getting The Right Song Mix?
For a 4-5 hour reception, select 50-60 each of fast and slow songs. While this will probably be more than you need, it’s better to have more options than too few. Your DJ will pay attention to what people are responding to. What they dance to will determine how many of each type of songs…

Must We Dance At Our Reception?
Dancing is absolutely not required at a wedding. Background music is perfectly appropriate, even if it’s just for dinner. That said, bear in mind that many of your guests will be expecting to dance and, more importantly, they’ll be expecting to ooh and ahh while you take a spin for your first dance together as…

Could We Do A Mother-Daughter Dance?
Not at all — in fact, it’ll probably feel great for you to have that moment of calm and closeness with your mother on what will undoubtedly be a whirlwind day. Tell your mum your idea first, to make sure that she feels comfortable with it, then by all means go ahead. Remember, you’ll be…

Must We Play “YMCA”?
Absolutely! Why would you sacrifice the mood of this important day just so your friends and relatives can do ‘The Chicken Dance?’ Line dances can be fun for a child’s Communion or bar mitzvah, but if you want your wedding to really reflect your tastes, you can skip the tribute to The Village People. When…

Finding Ceremony Musicians?
I would like a violinist to perform at my outdoor ceremony, but I haven’t the slightest idea how to go about finding one. Any ideas?

Ceremony Tunes On A Budget?
Do either of you own a nice portable stereo (and hopefully a speaker or two)? All you need is the right CD and someone to cue the songs. There are several good wedding music CDs on the market, or you could select a sampling from classical music CDs. Set everything up (and test it) well…

First Dance At A Double Wedding?
Well, dancing queen, that depends. If there’s no easy way to compromise, you need to pick a more arbitrary solution, so flip a coin. Heads, she goes first, tails, you do. When it comes time for other important dances (father-daughter for instance), switch the order.

Is A Father-Daughter Dance Required?
These days, few people adhere to all the wedding traditions. It’s perfectly acceptable to add or omit any event that you choose. If you don’t have a grandfather, uncle or other male relative you feel close enough to share this dance with, then just skip it. Another idea is to dance with your mum, maybe…
