Cocktail Hour vs. Dinner - Music Options

We did a playlist of low-key instrumental jazzy background music for cocktail hour and then the DJ started playing when guests entered the room for dinner. The DJ played a mix of all different styles and time periods.

We are not having any music during cocktail hour. Everyone will be so busy talking about excited that it's not worth it in our eyes. So we are saving the music that you mentioned above for dinner!

The classic/jazzy feel is definitely more of what I'm leaning towards. I'm just not sure if I should roll it over into dinner as well, or if that would be too much!

FH wants to have soft acoustic type music for the cocktail hour. I'm not sure what I'll have playing for dinner yet.

I'm thinking Jazz for cocktail hour and more instrumental for dinner, probably along the lines of the piano guys and Lindsay Sterling.

I plan on having the Frank/etc. for dinner with some modern slower songs we like too.

We're having a cello/flute duo for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and I'm hoping they'll play some upbeat pop songs mixed with some classical ones too for the cocktail hour. I haven't consulted with the musicians yet about it.
