Ok, we're having a "band" at our wedding reception. Band - as in a singer, a bass, and a piano (Jazz Trio according to the website). The girl can sing old favorites from Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and she can even sing contemporary songs from Adele, John Legend, etc.
My question is, would it be too much for her to sing some ambiance music during dinner. Something light and low key that still allows for ample conversation. The girl said they could: "We could provide light dinner music, some swing and light latin to create the dinner ambience, and then warm people up to dancing if you would like."
My mom thinks its weird to have someone singing during a meal and that she's never been to wedding with live music (she hasn't been to a wedding in over 15 years). She's afraid conversation wont happen. Is it weird? Our reception is formal, but small with 40ish guests. We have a private room, but our reception is only 3 hours long.
Thoughts or suggestions.
