Question 1

How do I plan the music timeline for my wedding?

Accepted Answer

Typical flow: background music during cocktails, grand entrance with high energy, hora/traditional dances, dinner music (moderate), cake cutting, party set with crescendo, and a memorable last song. Share your preferences early.

Question 2

What red flags should I watch for with entertainment vendors?

Accepted Answer

No live performance videos, unwillingness to meet before the event, vague contracts, no backup equipment plan, requesting full payment upfront, and bad reviews about unresponsiveness on the event day.

Question 3

How loud can the music be at my venue?

Accepted Answer

Israeli regulations limit event noise to 85 dB in enclosed venues. Outdoor venues may have stricter local ordinances, especially near residential areas. Your DJ should have a decibel meter and comply with regulations.

Question 4

Should I have live music during the chuppah ceremony?

Accepted Answer

Live music (violin, harp, acoustic guitar, or a small ensemble) during the chuppah adds emotional depth. It’s one of the most impactful moments for live performance. Pre-record a backup track as insurance.
