Like I’ve said for many other wedding services, who’s the best? One of my most recent endeavors was to find music for the ceremony and reception. First, the Disc Jockey. Really, they all cost the same so we just went with one that some of our friends had used for their wedding. Two of my bridesmaids, Alyssa and Kristin, used Complete Music so this is who we went with. They did say that they aren’t just DJs but they’re MCs. Correct me if I’m wrong, but MC stands for Master of Ceremonies. I did think this was a little funny when I was talking to the gentleman on the phone but I do believe him. We were at Alyssa’s wedding and arrived on Ollie the Trolley. As we approached the building we saw an ambulance. Of course, we were a little freaked out but a man in a tux approached us. He said that someone who was diabetic had an episode and everything was fine but we needed to circle the parking lot one last time and then we could get out. I thought this was someone that worked at the banquet facility but it was the MC. He had everything under control and was directing guests. I was really impressed. In the end, we just got recommendations and went with that company. Really, they all play music and that’s what we want, all we want is good music. At a traditional wedding an organist would play music at the ceremony. Since we aren’t in a church we had many choices for our music accompaniment. I worked a few summers ago for the Omaha Symphony. Working with all of these musicians, I always wanted to have a string quartet at my wedding. Then, we went to a wedding a while back that had a string quartet. The music was beautiful. While looking for groups I stumbled across a website, Omaha Music Association. The site lists different local groups, from jazz to string. I started making some calls and found a wonderful group, Midlands String Quartet, made up of Omaha Symphony members. I’m really excited to have them at our wedding. Another item crossed off the wedding list. All of these things really help the wedding come to life and get us excited for the actual day.

If you need music, you need to have a full orchestra play the Star Wars theme when Brian, Dillers, I, and the rest of the focus group walk in. Just a suggestion.
