Most couples in Toronto may not even think of considering and selecting music genres to match your wedding theme. Planning and communicating with your Wedding DJ company to achieve your vision will certainly make your wedding a success of failure. DJ music is the main or the only source of entertainment for 70-80% of Toronto Weddings.
One of the important steps you can take towards ensuring your event is a success is to match your Wedding Music with your theme.
Some of the important considerations to plan your Music Genres to Match Your Toronto Wedding Theme are;
1. Overall Theme of Your Toronto Wedding
2. Guest Profile
3. Your Toronto Wedding Venue
4. Event Timeline
1. Your Toronto Wedding Theme
You may spend month planning and organizing your wedding to match a certain theme. It could be from a rustic theme, retro, 90’s, a certain color combination or even a cultural theme. You can discuss and brainstorm music ideas with your DJ to match these theme. You can work and plan out your Wedding Ceremony Music, Cocktail Music, Dinner Music and Dance music according to your event theme. Especially the Cocktail Music and Dinner music will provide an opportunity to play theme music as it may sometime be tough to play dance music according to theme as it may not go well with the guests and their age group
2. Guest Profile
Understanding the guest profile and their music taste will make the difference between an en empty dance floor and a packed fun filled night! Keeping the overall theme in mind, you can discuss and educate your DJ about the age mix, ethnic background etc., of guests you have invited to your wedding.
Think about some of the recent family events you attended and what music worked during that event. Think about your friends and what music would get them going! Of course if your DJ is experienced like the folks at Kooltempo Toronto DJ Services, he or she will ask you this info and promo to you think. The DJ will also read the crowd on the day of the event and adjust the music according to the guests. Checking if the DJ accepts requests and letting your guests know would also be an important consideration!
3. Your Toronto Wedding Venue
Selecting an appropriate Toronto Wedding Venue to suite your wedding theme is one of the most important considerations. Checking what facilities available and also looking at extra costs etc., for the DJ to bring in their equipment will save you from last minute headaches and extra costs. You can read more about selecting a venue in our recent blog post.
Once your select the venue then you can plan the music with your DJ to suite your overall theme taking venue dynamics in to consideration. If you select a Toronto Wedding Venue like The Eglinton Grand, perhaps you can maximize the impact by selecting a 1940-50’s theme!
4. Wedding Day Timeline
Wedding day timeline also is another important consideration when planning your wedding music to suite your theme. You can maximize the effect my selecting appropriate music during the ceremony prelude, cocktails and dinner music section. For instance if you have selected a ballroom Theme, you can play some Vintage Cafe or Post Modern Juke Box music during Cocktail and or Dinner. If you have selected a Big Band Theme then perhaps some Big Band Music can be played for dinner.
Keep in mind that mixing the theme music for the dance porting may be somewhat challenging. Discuss the requirements with your Toronto Wedding DJ and brainstorm how well you can embed your theme in to this porting of the evening
5. Other Entertainment Options
Considering some other entertainment options and a Toronto Photo Booth may be a great way to showcase your wedding theme.
Perhaps consider a live performer (may be an Elvis Impersonator if you theme is 60’s Rock & Roll) to your timeline. The Photo booth may also be a great way to show off your theme. You can use the photo booth screen, the prints and also props to showcase the theme!
