Reception music - help needed!

Hi all,

over the months of planning we have been making a long list of lovely songs to be played in the background during our wedding breakfast. It turns out that our venue (a hotel) cannot play our choice of music through their sound system (due to copyright laws) and can only play soft jazz and classical music which I don't want. They suggested we play our music on an ipod dock but I think that one end of the room will hear the music and the other end won't.

Please does anybody have any brilliant suggestions? Soft jazz and classical music is just not US!

Thanks in advance......

5 weeks to go............

I hate classical music, but one thing I do like is acoustic guitar, you can get cds on amazon of love songs, played on an acoustic guitar (no singing).

It sounds like your venue might not have a PRS licence, but you don't need one for a wedding reception - see this link, section 10:

I'd ask them to explain what they mean about 'due to copyright laws', and then give the PRS a call to check. If you're happy to play your music on an ipod, you could hire a PA system to make sure all guests can hear it.
