Everyone has their favorite artist or type of music, but there are some songs you can dance to and some that you can't.
When choosing music for your reception, select a band that can play everything from the standards to Motown to disco to today's Top 40 hits. And if you're hiring a DJ find out how far their music library goes back so you can get a good mix of the past six decades.
Remember that just because you love a local Van Halen cover band (and they come in under budget) doesn't mean your guests will love four hours of them.
