Don't Even Think About an iPod
Just going to plug in your iPod for the wedding reception? Don't even think about. Entertainers do more than simply play music.

Formula For a Party!
There are four key categories of music that work together to make a reception hit list, says John Christian Colaneri, owner of John Christian Entertainment. While every deejay might operate differently, here’s how Colaneri puts together a party:

The Wow Factor
Britney Spears’s team was onto something when it created her latest Circus tour. Everyone loves a big show with lots of wow factor.

Where Has All the Live Music Gone?
Music is one part of your reception people will remember, so you want to get it right, starting with your choice of live band or deejay. And while it seems like Garden State couples are now opting for deejays, a trend driven by tight budgets, there’s nothing quite like live music.

Great music can complement your theme, set the tone of your special day, and enhance everyone’s experience.

Wedding Music
If you’re trying to decide between a deejay and a band when choosing music for your reception, stop the debating.

Should I Hire a Band, Deejay, or Both?
Music plays a huge part in setting the mood for any event, especially a wedding.

What To Know When Hiring Musicians
As you might expect, the timing of your wedding will have some financial impact; a weekend wedding that takes place during the busiest seasons may cost more than off-season or weekday bookings.

Music Your Way
What can make a perfectly planned reception go down hill faster than the caterer’s van breaking down 40 minutes away from the party? Bad music. The entertainment for your wedding establishes the atmosphere, and choosing the right tunes can be more crucial than choosing your cake topper.

Songs To Dance To With Your Father
The perfect father/daugher songlist.

Setting The Tone For Your Ceremony
Every betrothed couple has a unique love story, so why should every bride sashay down the aisle to the same old song? Whether you’re keeping it traditional with Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus” or intend to march toward your future husband to Led Zepellin’s “Stairway to Heaven,” your music selection can make your ceremony extra meaningful.

Waltzing With My Daughter
It wasn’t the wedding’s expense. Nor the anxiety every father feels that this young man, whom I liked very much, really deserved his little girl. What scared me most about my daughter getting married was the father/bride dance. But, I had no one to blame but myself.

May I Have This Dance?
As if you haven’t been center stage enough during the wedding ceremony itself, traditional receptions feature a ceremonial spin on the dance floor, when the bride and groom take their first steps together in the presence of their friends and family.

Top Party Dances
One recent bride was adamant with her bandleader: He was prohibited from playing what she considered to be the typical group party dances. Her wedding was to be an upscale affair, after all, and she didn’t want the overdone, overplayed group dances heard at everyone else’s wedding.

Star In Your Own Music Video
Tiffany Moore didn’t want a traditional first dance with her husband, Howie, on their wedding day—she wanted the experience to be something no one would forget. So after choosing Rascal Flatts’ “God Bless the Broken Road” as their song, Tiffany secretly started taking voice lessons and recorded the tune.
