REAL MUSIC FOR REAL PEOPLE
A lot of brides and grooms in our Facebook group have approached us and asked for tips on making a playlist for dancing at their wedding reception. Our Chicago cover band is here to help. If you’re in a DIY kind of mood, read on!
Think about the friends and family who will be at your wedding. Think of the age range of your guests. Then, think of how you can get them all up to dance, together.
No, I’m not talking about the Chicken Dance.
(Unless you really want the Chicken Dance and it’s some kind of secret book club tradition and your best friend will come out in a chicken suit and bop around the dance floor like there’s no tomorrow. And then your other best friend will come out in an equally spectacular squirrel costume and taunt that chicken. But I digress…)
Anyway. It’s not so easy.
You have to know your guests. You have to predict what will make them tick.
What will get grandma’s feet tapping? What will get your co-worker to loosen up that tie and take his girlfriend for a spin on the dance floor?
What will get your parents out there dancing? And, what will entertain your 15 year old twin cousins?
If you need a glass of wine just thinking about all of this, I don’t blame you one bit! It’s a lot to consider.
Generally speaking, a wide variety of music genres and styles is a good way to go.
You can please some of the people all of the time. You can please all of the people some of the time. You can’t please all of the people, all of the time.
But, you can do your very best!
So, here’s a video with a great variety of song choices, and wide audience appeal. These songs from the Chris Sarlas Orchestra are sure to get people up and dancing.
Take some notes, and start making your list.
See you out there on the dance floor, my friend!
Peaceful, Perfect Wedding Day? YES!!!
So, is it possible for peaceful, perfect and wedding to coexist in one sentence as truth?
Your favorite Chicago wedding band is here with the news that you want to hear: Yes, you CAN have a peaceful, perfect wedding day. Just take some advice from our friend Kara.
She worked hard on her wedding plans. Top to bottom. She planned every single minute of her timeline, and had an exact image of her day with vision boards to prove it. After she spent a year organizing her ideas, she then went and searched for vendors to bring her vision to life.
Thing is, by the time she went to search for vendors, her wedding was two months away. And, she was on a tight budget.
Who isn’t on a budget? Am I right?
She had very specific ideas, and she wanted them done well, quickly, and cheap.
What she found was that she could only find two of those qualities with any given vendor.
Done well and quick was not cheap.
Done quick and cheap would not be done well.
Done cheap and well would not be done quick.
And, learning this lesson made Kara anything but peaceful. Her advice is this: if you’re working with a limited budget, plan ahead and give yourself WAY more time than you think you’ll need, so that you have the best shot at finding vendors who fit your vision.
Then, you’ll be peaceful.
And when you’re peaceful, you’re right there ready for that perfect wedding day.
If peaceful vibes are your thing and you like classic rock (and most importantly, The Eagles), check this one out:
Wishing you a peaceful easy transition into April and springtime 💐
