Thinking About An iPod Wedding?

Your wedding budget is tight and you are looking for ways to save some money? Many couples nowadays choose to save the money for wedding music by having an iPod wedding. This seems to be the latest trend in the wedding music industry. IPod weddings are made of pre-programmed music played on rented sound systems. As you know, music is very important to set the right mood of your celebration.




But before planning the iPod wedding, you should take a pencil and a piece of paper and put in balance the goods and the bads of such an idea. One advantage of an iPod wedding is that you can choose every favorite song at your wedding. The costs for an IPod wedding include only buying the songs if you don’t have a huge music collection and renting a sound system. This is cheaper than hiring a professional DJ or a live band.

Still, there are also some disadvantages in case of an iPod wedding. There is no professional coordinator to lead the wedding moments. It is hard for many couples to choose their first wedding dance songs, but what happens when you have to choose all the music? Just think about it.

As for the sound system you need a professional one. It’s not enough to plug your iPod to a simple amplification box and expect to have quality wedding music coming out of it. It may be helpful if you test the sound system several days before your wedding to solve the potential problems and avoid the unpleasant surprises.

There is no quick transition from song to song when it comes about an iPod. This might be bothering at an important and big event such as a wedding reception. During the delay, your guests may leave the floor and ruin the mood of the party. Many couples complained about this aspect.

When you hire a professional DJ, he is able to feel your guests and play the music that they might want. The iPod cannot do that. You can’t change the music to liven up the mood of the party. A DJ can mix the music and the transitions between songs are not even observed.

Plus, you need someone to take care of the iPod. You can’t do it yourself as you know that the bride and groom are in the center of attention and they must enjoy every moment of their big day. Changing music on your wedding is the last thing to think about. You can ask a close and reliable friend to be in charge of your wedding music.

The iPod can’t play the role of a Master of Ceremonies. You need someone to take care of the schedule of your reception and to make sure that things are running as planned. A reliable friend can be your solution, but he cannot be compared to a professional.

So, knowing all these, do you still want to save money with an iPod wedding and jeopardize the mood of the most special event of your life?
