Jazz Wedding Music on CD
Jazz Wedding on a Budget
-
Play custom CDs
Compile and download your list of favorite jazz songs from iTunes, categorize your songs by wedding category (cocktails at reception, first dances, dinner, etctera) and burn each set to disc. Ask your wedding planner, best man or maid of honor, or other bridal/groom party attendant to play the corresponding CD to the appropriate time. Make sure you have great speakers, and review this with your "DJ". This person can also be your emcee for the evening. Shop at the iTunes Music Store. -
Singing to Jazz karaoke
iTunes has great karaoke compilations, recorded in professional studios to sound like the real thing. Search and download your favorite jazz songs (type in a keyword(s) with "karaoke" or "instrumental". Ask a friend or several friends to perform different sets or songs. This is fun! Ask them to audition! You'll find at least one friend or family member who missed their calling. Shop at the iTunes Music Store. -
Hire a VJ
A VJ creates video art for large displays or screens for events such as concerts, music festivals or private events often at events such as concerts, nightclubs and music festivals One performer, duet or a small group performs to the video presentation. I've seen this done with 1 male lead, 2 female backup singers, performing at club events and private parties. Very entertaining and inexpensive! -
Solo musician
A solo musician may be all you need for a beautiful jazz wedding. Someone who performs on keyboard and sings, performs in lounges or clubs usually is a very entertaining emcee, as well. Such performers are very talented with the keyboard, often utilizing other musical instruments at once, creating a full, live sound.
How about Jazz on CD at your wedding?
Live Jazz at a wedding is ideal. But would Jazz from CD be okay, too?

Yes

Wonderful ideas. Thanks.
WarbleEntertainmentAgency says:
You can't beat live music but money talks most of the time and CD is a cool option
sisbrown34 says:
I dont know that much about Jazz music but I do enjoy it
Lily says:
Absolutely! It depends what kind of feel you want for your wedding but jazz music can be ideal during dinner or even for dancing, I don't think it matters if it's a cd, especially these days.
No

Live jazz the only way to go!
says:
Now where do I find the lead sheets for all these marvelous tunes...which leads to my answer: live is better...support your local Jazzers! (only if they play well).
StaciJansma says:
Nope! R&B and Rock and Roll
