How to Choose the Music for Your Wedding in Sydney

Choosing the right music for your wedding in Sydney is essential for setting the tone and ensuring your guests have a memorable experience. From the ceremony to the dance floor, the right tunes make all the difference.

What Music Should I Choose for My Wedding?

Define Your Wedding Atmosphere

Select songs that match your vibe—romantic, elegant, or energetic. Ceremony music should feel meaningful, while reception music should reflect your personality.

Combine Personal and Guest Preferences

Choose songs that are meaningful to you and your partner, while mixing in classics and crowd-pleasers that appeal to guests of all ages.

Hire a Professional Band or DJ

Professional musicians like Red Soda Band offer experience, sound equipment, and curated playlists tailored to your event. Their expertise helps you avoid awkward silences or mismatched songs.

Can I Just Use Spotify at My Wedding?

Spotify is cost-effective but lacks the adaptability and polish of a live DJ or band. A professional can:

• Read the crowd and adjust music live


• Handle song transitions smoothly


• Take requests and build energy


• Troubleshoot audio issues on the spot

Red Soda Band blends live performance with DJ flexibility, offering the best of both worlds for your Sydney wedding.

How Do I Coordinate Wedding Music Timings?

To ensure a seamless soundtrack throughout your day:

• Map a Timeline: Plan when music starts and stops during cocktails, dinner, formalities, and dancing.


• Coordinate Key Moments: Choose unique songs for the first dance, cake cutting, and bridal party entrance.


• Align with Formalities: Fit music sets around speeches and other key moments.


• Ask your musicians for a run sheet template to help with logistics.

What Kind of Music Should I Play at My Wedding?

Wedding Segment	Recommended Music Style
Ceremony	Classical, acoustic, or instrumental covers
Cocktail Hour	Jazz, swing, bossa nova
Dinner	Easy listening, soft pop, classical
First Dance	Ballads, love songs, acoustic covers
Dance Floor	Upbeat pop, soul, funk, throwback hits

Bonus Tip: Combine male and female vocals for a broader range of songs.

How to Make Your Playlist Stand Out

Include:

• 10 must-play songs for a personal touch


• A “do not play” list for music you want to avoid


• Prepare a Spotify playlist to fill gaps during breaks


• Let the band improvise—Red Soda Band tailors every set to crowd energy
