We've always known that we wanted live music for our wedding. And seeing as we live in a town that is saturated with musicians and bands of all genres, I've been pretty confident that we will find exactly what we want.
So far, I have 3 bids from 3 different jazz combos (trio/quartet, septet) And we're trying to figure out which we like best. Different instrument combos are available and different vocalists... We are really into jazz, blues and rock and roll so we are really excited to have a this music played live for us at our wedding.
Right now, we're considering hiring one trio to play the ceremony (acoustic; guitar, bass & keys) and cocktail hour (electric; guitar/male vocals, bass, drums) and then have a different group play the reception (full jazz quartet w/ female vocalist).
To me this sounds ideal! To have live music all night is a dream come true for us. However, sometimes I worry that people may think it's not enough and be disappointed that there isn't a DJ. My FI says that I'm second guessing myself for no reason. With our crowd, I would assume that live music will be appreciated but I just wanted to see what you ladies thought about it....
Would you be disappointed if there wasn't a DJ?
Honestly, and I don't mean put anyone off by saying this (so please do not take this personally) but... I don't like DJ's. Which is why I don't want to hire one. I love live music. I feel it's more of a treat. We have found some amazing musicians who are professional and affordable so I'm pretty much set on having live music only.
Does this sound like a wedding you'd enjoy?
Thanks for the input ladies
