Cocktail hour/dinner music

At the suggestion of our officiant we had 30s-40's swing music. A little different and got quite a few compliments from older and younger guests

I hired a string quartet who plays modern music

My FH and I are considering having an acoustic playlist, covers of popular chart songs in an acoustic tone. Some great playlists are on Spotify, my favorite that we are considering is "Afternoon Acoustic"

@Colleen was the 30s/40s swing for dinner or cocktail hour, or both? It sound so fun!

Cocktail hour. But honestly don't even remember what music was played during dinner!

Jazz and Sinatra are in my DNP list. I'm hoping to get in my love of Ben Howard and Fleet Foxes during cocktail hour.

We did all acoustic stuff...a mix of old and new songs though to please everyone.

We are having a harpist and she will be playing upbeat, well know, more recent songs.

We are doing Billy Joel and stuff similar to that

I'm planning to have someone playing a steel pan during cocktail hour

We're doing Turkish folk music. Basically, if we have a theme, it's "Istanbul" (our favorite city, and where we had our first date), so the decor and music reflects that.

We hired a saxophone player. He's gonna play jazz music.

Old school Motown/R&B (60's and 70's)

For cocktail hour, we had a guitarist. And I can't even tell you what music the DJ was playing while dinner was being served lol

I hired a steel drum and ukulele duo as a surprise for my FH. They'll be playing when he arrives at the venue (so I hope the videographer and photographer catch his reaction!) And they'll play for the cocktail hour. The sad part is , we'll miss most of it but at least he'll be surprised and happy for the 30 min leading up to the ceremony!

I'm planning to have a live brass band who I "discovered" playing in the subway! But they are actually a real band who perform at concert venues and such.
