Hey knotties!
I'm starting to think about music/a DJ for my wedding next March and I'd love recommendations. I love music and I think this is an area in which I will be rather picky.
I don't listen to a lot of top 40 stuff, and I also don't want any overly cheesy wedding stuff. I'm not going to be the type to do a typical first dance or father-daughter dance to something like Rod Stewart or Jason Mraz or Kenny Rogers or "Butterfly Kisses" etc. I definitely need a DJ who has a somewhat eclectic collection and is really willing to work with me. But I'm also aware that I'm not a professional DJ so I'd rely on them to feel out the vibe and choose songs to get the crowd going. Some of my favorite stuff includes indie dance/80s/britpop, but I am also open to more catchy/oldies stuff as well. If someone is willing to put up with me and is able to play the Cure, Edward Sharpe & Magnetic Zeros, New Order, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, in addition to like: "Shout," Michael Jackson and the Temptations, that is like pretty sweet.
Any thoughts?
