How to Save on Wedding Music

Music budgets vary widely. Use an iPod or Spotify playlist. This is the cheapest option. Create a playlist and have a friend MC and press play. Hire one musician. A solo guitarist or pianist for the ceremony is a romantic touch and cheaper than a band. Hire a DJ. DJs are half the price of a live band and can also MC the reception. Book a newer DJ who is building their reputation and charges less. Ask about a weekday discount. Choose a ceremony-only musician for the ceremony and use an iPod for the reception. The best way to save is to skip dancing. If you want a dance party, you cannot skip a DJ. If you want background music, a playlist is fine.
