DJ vs. IPod playlist?

Hi everyone I just wanted to get  your opinions on this.
 My FI and I are thinking on just having a pretty laid back reception and low key. For lack of money i think that this is the best solution for us. That and neither or our families are the big formal ceremony types. So I was thinking of just having our reception at a park or something like that. And I don't think we will need a DJ my sister had a DJ at her wedding and no one really danced or anything. Neither families are big drinkers so we won't have alcohol and i think that is what gives people the courage to dance. Anyway what do you all think about instead of having a DJ just making a IPod or whatever playlist for music at the reception. That way the traditional dances can still happen but if no one else wants to dance its not a waste of money. I was just wondering on how you all feel. Thanks

Based on what you just described, i think an Ipod playlist will work great!!

If I were you then I would go with doing the IPod!

We are doing an IPod playlist as well at our garden wedding next summer.  We figure it's a great way to save money and "our" music will be played.  For us this day is very special and our personalities will be reflected in the music.  Anyways, GREAT IDEA!

We did an iPod reception....it was perfect. We too were on a low budget, and didn't serve booze.  It was very laid back, but very nice to have music playing in the background
