Music is such a big project!! We decided to have a guitar player for the ceremony. Im going to ask gabriella if I can request songs or if he just plays. either way, I think that the simplicity of only a guitar player is going to be beautiful. I love somewhere over the rainbow and I really really love train!! As far asw Bruno Mars, I think its cute and very individual! pick songs that make you happy! I dont think anything can be too upbeat, just amke sure you can dance to it. I think thats a great song. Gabriella told me that a dj and renting the equipment is the same price (80 USD/ hr). I guess maybe 600 would be the total for your whole day, but she never told me that. So I think we are going to use our ihome speakers for the dinner and cake cutting and all that and let my sister manage it, and then have the dj for the last two hours of our reception. ( the dancing fun part). I know that sounds wierd but i dont want to pay 80 dollars an hour for quiet background music. Im also using my ihome speakers for the welcome cocktail party. Im maybe half way done with designing my playlist so as soon as im done i can post it for you!
