This week I have been working on the music for the wedding (among other things). After talking with the reception site, Justin and I decided to have music put on cds to play during the reception. We are going with a mostly jazz soundtrack with the occasional pop song (or rock song) for the kids and adults that would enjoy that.
Here I have a list of singers/musicians that I have been thinking about using. Feel free to suggest other artists, songs, or your thoughts on music during receptions. Since I am not a DJ, any information provided to me will be helpful and considered during the music selection "phase" of the "getting married process". :)
Jazz
Benny Goodman
Billie Holiday
Bobby Darin
Charlie Parker
Cole Porter
Dave Bruebeck
Dooley Wilson (sang the original "As Time Goes By")
