Play music from your ipod at your wedding? how did it go?

Question

DJ's are so expensive. I'm really considering playing music from my ipod like a lot of people suggest. BUT, has anyone actually done it? Have you been to a wedding thats done it? Does everything go smoothly? Is it there an awkward part when the songs are finishing cuz like the music slows down a lot (since thats usually where the DJ cuts to the next song)?

Answer 1

well if you are going to play songs from your IPod, choose the songs wisely. If I were you, transfer the songs that you want to play at the wedding fro your IPod to a blank CD

Answer 2

We're having a friend with a CD player and a backup iPod (just in case) doing the music. He's going to rent speakers from Long and McQuade and take care of burning all the songs for us.

I believe that an AVLA license lets you play any music you want, even if you don't own it, even in the States. http://www.avla2007.ca/public/docs/music...

bad idea... went to a wedding that did that, you cannot keep the people on the dance floor, you cannot change up the songs instantly, when there is a break in the music people go sit down. DJ's keep the party moving... announce the evenings events etc... if you get a good one. Unless you have HUGE speakers know one will hear the music. Shop around, you can get good dj's for about $250+ go to www.partypop.com
