We are getting married the Saturday before Christmas in the afternoon. I don't have the timeline planned just yet, but I imagine we will do the (quick) ceremony around 11:30-12 and the reception will immediately follow (all at same location) and last until about 3pm (that's the time we have the space until). This is a second wedding for my fiance and I, so we only plan to have about 40-50 people. The majority will be family with some friends (early 30s).
We're having open bar, but I am torn on what to do about a DJ. My first thought was that it seems weird to have a DJ during the day. We were thinking about having my brother with sound equipment just setting up speakers and then creating a playlist of music. But I know from experience that a DJ does more than just play music. And I don't want the reception to end up feeling boring!
Help!! Any suggestions??
