There is always Harry Connick or Wynton Marsalis for Jazz stuff. I know Wynton just did an album with Willie Nelson thay is coming out in a few months. And the obvious Jimmy Buffet for beachy music.

We are doing the same sort of feel for cocktail and dinner hour. Lets see...
I downloaded a lot of Michael Buble's stuff and Van Morrison.
For beachy feel tons of Kenny Chesney, some Bob Marley, a little Jimmy Buffet.

I thought about doing some jazzy type music, but I figured my Cocktail Hour & Reception are on the beach itself so I decided on some fun pop and reggae inspired music for the C-Hour:

311 (Love Song, Amber)
UB40 (Every Breath You Take, The Way You Do The Things You Do)
Bob Marley (Baby I Love Your Way, Is This Love)
Queen (You're My Best Friend, Crazy Little Thing Called Love)
Lauryn Hill (Youre Just To Good To Be True)
Sade (Color Of Love)
Cranberries (Love Fool)
Wayne Wonder (Hold Me Now)
Ziggy Marley (Drive)

something like that :)

Are you doing recorded music, or live?

It will be all downloaded onto our Ipod. WE are going to create different play lists for each part of the wedding day. That way anyone with ipod experience can go over and find what needs to be played.
