Wedding reception music

[Deleted]

Have you heard of companies that would play vinyl records for the reception? We'd really like to do something a little different and I think having turntables would be fun.

Any other non-traditional suggestions? We are not having a formal dance and I hate DJs.

We had a 50s and 60s rock band, and they were so very awesome. Everyone danced all night, and they stayed for 2 hours after they were free to go.

We're also only having 60-70 guests.

Somewhat off subject, but your post reminded of the wedding I attended last week. One of the prerecorded songs played as the guests were arriving was "Touch Myself" by the Divinyls. I like the song, but really? During the wedding warmup?

Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't someone using vinyls be a DJ?

We had a DJ and he used turntables... We went with a guy who doesn't only do weddings and were quite happy with him. What kind of music are you looking for?

A DJ that doesn't talk I guess? And indie/folk sort of music.

Our DJ used a computer, but she didn't talk.  There were two companies in our area that specialized in being non-talking DJs.  That was a huge deal to us because DJs in the NY area can tend to be straight out of Jersey Shore, and we wanted to avoid that.
