  Musicians and DJs for Your Jewish Celebration

Jewish Wedding, Jewish Music?
Wedding music is mood music.  The commitment symbolized by the Jewish wedding ceremony is a bonding of two souls.  Meaningful music choices can reflect the spiritual heights of the day.  

You are not limited to any style, genre or tempo.  To some it's not a Jewish Wedding if "Hava Nagila" wasn't played and the Hora wasn't danced, but truthfully, what makes a Jewish wedding Jewish are the Jewish Bride and the Jewish Groom.

So you may opt to hire a DJ juggling rock and roll or modern Israeli music; you may go for the string quartet; the one-man-band; the full orchestra; or a Klezmer group.

What ever makes you dance!

Practical Advice - Questions to Ask When Choosing your Music Provider
Regardless of who you hire, whether a band that performed at all your friends' weddings, or a new group on the horizon.... be cautious, and get everything agreed upon before making initial payment.

• Search the Jewish Celebrations DIRECTORY for fine Musicians and DJs that will make your party an affair to remember.

Here's a list of issues that should be included in your contract:
• In detail, the exact date of event, expected arrival time, and the location including the address and any specifics i.e. west entrance.
• List of the equipment expected to be supplied as well as a list of the equipment to be provided; e.g., chairs, music stands, amplifiers. 
• Musicians attire guidelines; You have the right to require your musicians to comply with the dress style of your affair, be it formal, semi-formal or even casual.
• A list of songs, and instructions as when they should be played.  It is good to discuss B-list songs to play should they need to fill time.
• Duration of of time musicians are expected to perform; fees for overtime; commitment to perform overtime, if necessary.
• Contract should list the names of the specific musicians who will play at your ceremony, as well as names of acceptable substitutes should there be an emergency.
• Discuss cost in detail, and verify if there any hidden or extra charges, such as travel expenses.
REVIEW CANCELLATION POLICY.
• Have everything documented in WRITING.
