I know this sounds crazy, but here it is...

I am looking for either a band or a DJ to play at our wedding. I am Russian/Jewish and my FI is Dominican. There will be more of my family there than his, and our friends are a pretty mixed crowd. I would like them to be able to play some Russian songs (older/traditional as well as new dance type stuff), the traditional Jewish songs, some Spanish songs for his family to enjoy, and of course American stuff (current and older songs). I know its a huge range of pretty much everything, so I am open to either bands or DJs. Any recs would be super duper helpful!!! I feel like I dont really know where to start :-/

    My fiance is also Russian/Jewish!!  I think that you will have a hard time finding a band who can play "regular" music and also Russian music since they would have to sing in Russian.  All of the bands we looked at play the traditional Jewish songs.  We plan to have them play the Jewish songs they know and then we will have a playlist on the iPod with some Russian songs for the band's break times.  We are using Rare Form for our band.

    We had Night Rhythm play at our wedding.  THey did a wonderful job with the traditional Jewish songs, and also have a bunch of Spanish music on their playlist (I want to say there are about a dozen Spanish language songs).  I don't know about Russian songs though.  Their website is:
    www.nightrhythm.com

    ...regardless of whether you go with a band or DJ, if you have a traditional song froma different music tradition, you can always provide the MP3 and they can play it.  We did this to accommodate a traditional South Asian tune.

    you might also really like the string trio we used for the ceremony and cocktail hour.  They definitely play Jewish traditional, klezmer, Russian, Spanish, and Latin music, so I think they would cover your bases beautifully.  plus they are amazing.

    MY DJ is Ari Rosenfield, he kind of specializes in eclectic music, so he might be worth a shot!
