No wedding is complete without music! It sets the right mood for your guests at every moment of this special day and provides the perfect soundtrack for the entire celebration, from morning till night. It has to do it all: During the wedding ceremony, it needs to be emotional; at the reception, it needs to create a cheerful atmosphere; during dinner, it needs to provide subtle background music; and at the party, it needs to get young and old alike up on the dance floor.

In Austria, there is a huge selection of musicians who specialize in weddings. It’s not uncommon here to have different musicians perform for the various parts of the wedding. A singer or an acoustic band is a good choice for the wedding ceremony, while a louder performance is popular starting with the reception. In the evening, depending on the budget and the available space at the venue, a wedding band or a wedding DJ is typically hired.



What are the pros and cons of hiring a wedding band versus a DJ? What other options are there? And which songs are definitely not suitable for a wedding? We answer these and other questions in our Austria Wedding blog.
