We're using cd's and our DJ will play... Richard Cheese does real rock songs but in lounge versions...he's wonderful!!!

We didn't. FTR, our wedding was a Crest Hollow Country Club and had our cocktail hour outside. There are fountains in the CH area and we were told that they drown out any live musicians. Amplified music was not allowed. A strolling violinist or something would have been an option, but we decided not to go for it. Check with your hall regarding policies and logistics if you haven't already.

Dj is playing a mix that we are giving him of Irish music/instrumental rock and basically anything not too insane that we like.

Re: Music for CH

just the dj. everyone will be to busy eating to listen to music. then we wanted to come in around the middle of our ch so even more people won't be paying attention to the music.
