My fiance and I are getting married on October 5, 2012. We are hiring my uncle to play music for us, since we are on a budget.
The problem is that my fiance and I are both into very heavy metal. We don't listen to popular music, or dance/party music. I would like to play things that the majority of the guestlist will enjoy, since most of them save our close friends will not like our personal musical preferences.
Most of our guestlist is older (Aunts and Uncles - we are both ~25 so theyre all 50+). But we also have cousins, ranging from 12 years old to mid 30s.
I want to play music that people will have a good time with, but I would also like some sort of inclusion of some music that we also like (I dont plan on having any head banging or anything - haha)
My idea was this , we have a ceremony and reception at the same place, inside is where the DJ will be, but outside is where people can go to mingle. Would it be unpleasant to have some rock and roll (not metal, that would be too hard I think) playing outdoors while the other music is going on indoors? Or how should I do this?
I'm totally lost as what to play for people at a party - especially since I don't really go to parties! I don't want this to be a flop. Any help is appreciated.
