(Wedding Questionnaire)

Will you require seperate music acts for the ceremony and reception?

Yes, we need separate music acts for the ceremony and reception. (*This is typical if the client has something specific in mind for the ceremony — ie, violin & cello; harpist; pianist; etc — but want something different for the reception, like a band.)

No, we'd like the same music act for the ceremony and reception. (*This is typical for weddings with no official ceremony or reception; and/or for smaller weddings where everything takes place in one area.)

Undecided/Other (Please write in below.)

Will the music act remain in the same area or play in two separate areas?

The music act will be set up in only ONE area for the entire event (or for both the ceremony and reception).

We will need the music act to set up and play in TWO separate areas during the event (or in one area for the ceremony and in another area for the reception).

I'm not sure yet.

NOTE: For "typical" wedding RECEPTIONS our music acts play a wide variety of popular, well-known songs that span genres and eras that cater to diverse crowds, young and old. They are very experienced playing weddings and know exactly the kinds of songs that work best for weddings. With that in mind, please answer the questions below. (Or leave blank if you trust the music act's judgment based off of their experience.)

Will there be a bride and groom's "FIRST DANCE"/WEDDING SONG?

No, there won't be a first dance/wedding song.

Yes, there will be a wedding song but we don't know what it is yet.

Yes, we would like the music act to perform our wedding song. (Please type in the song name below.)

How would you best describe the environment you think you'll have?

Our guests and environment will be more reserved -- like a cocktail party with people mostly talking and mingling. There might be a little dancing, but probably not much, if any.

We definitely plan on being up and dancing -- we're a party crowd!

Hmm. I'm not sure. Maybe a little bit of both?
