 20 Great, Non-traditional Wedding Processional/Recessional Songs! We wrote this article, last Spring, and decided to do an update, since some of the songs have changed and we like to keep the content and ideas up to date! Some of the popular songs from last year, have fallen off, and made way for new songs, as always. Every month, all year long, we have the honor of providing our Austin wedding DJ & Austin photo booth rentals for lots of happy couples from Austin, central Texas, and all over the United States. We are very grateful to be a part of so many special memories! We have played numerous, great bride/groom processional and couple recessional songs for many happy couples! More and more, we're seeing less of the traditional wedding march songs and couple recessional songs. We always tell our clients, "it's your special day, make it your own! There's no need to do what everyone else does. Choose the music and the songs that fit you!" One trend we're also seeing for late 2018 and 2019 weddings is live music for the ceremony, and key moment dances. I know you're thinking, I can't afford to add live musicians! Well, what we're seeing is family and friends of the couples, performing for their newlywed friends, so I'm sure it's cheap, or perhaps free, and better yet, they'll want to do an amazing job for your special day! :) If you don't know any musicians, you can certainly still have the DJ play your special songs, too. Here are some of the popular non-traditional wedding processional and recessional songs we've played over the last year, as well as songs that people are requesting for their 2019 weddings. If you want to see our country wedding songs, check out our Top 15 Texas Country Wedding Songs article, as well as our 20 Great, Texas Country Wedding Songs, article, too! If you're looking for more reception song ideas, check out our Top 200 Must Play Wedding, Party, & Event Songs article. If you want to hear any of the songs, just click on the video to play the song! 1. "Perfect" Ed Sheeran - There are a lot of different versions of this song, so be sure to listen to all of them. The acoustic version is a favorite, as well as the version with Andrea Bocelli! 2. "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri 3. "Sea of Love" by Cat Power 4. "If I Ain't Got You" Alicia Keys 5. "All You Need is Love" The Beatles (This is not the original version, since the original version is unavailable on YouTube). 6. "I Choose You" Sara Bareilles 7. "Come Away With Me" Norah Jones 8. "Best Day of my Life" by American Authors 9. "This Must Be the Place" Iron & Wine 10. "All My Life" KC & JoJo 11. "God Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts 12. "First Day of my Life" by Bright Eyes 13. "From the Ground Up" Dan + Shay 14. "God Gave Me You" - Blake Shelton 15. "Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop" - Landon Pigg 16. "This Will Be an Everlasting Love" Natalie Cole 17. "You & Me" - Dave Matthews Band 18. "Make You Feel My Love" Adele 19."In Case You Didn't Know" - Brett Young 20. "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" - Haley Reinhart These are 20 of the more popular songs that we've seen for many of the weddings we do in our area. We didn't want to make the list too long, so we kept it at 20. However, as overachievers, we're going to include a few more popular songs, just in case you didn't like the ones above. :) Here are a few other great songs to consider for your wedding ceremony procession or recession. "La Vie En Rose" by Cristin Milioti, "You're the One That I Want" by Angus & Julia Stone (from Grease), "Forever" by Ben Harper, and "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds. Many couples choose the songs, listed above, and many other couples chose the more traditional songs, such as Pachelbel's "Canon in D." We estimate about 70% of couples choose the non-traditional songs. There is no "best song" for the processional or recessional song. Again, we encourage you to pick the song that fits you! - Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booths  Thank you to our amazing clients! We won another "Best of Weddings" awards from The Knot! Being a wedding DJ is not as easy as most people think it is. It's all about organization, time management, professionalism, customer service, and then, about being awesome, talented DJs!
We also won the 2019 Couple's Choice awards, again. We've won awards every year since we joined the Knot and Wedding Wire. We've also won "Best of Gigmasters," "Best of Decidio," and others. Thank you so much to our amazing Austin and central Texas clients. :) - Jason & Diana & The Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booths Team!  Top 2019 Wedding Songs If you're planning a wedding, Quinceanera, party, or event, in 2019, in the Austin, Texas area, or anywhere, chances are you've hired a DJ, added a photo booth, and maybe even some awesome uplighting, games, etc. If you haven't done all that, yet, what are you waiting for? :) Regardless of which entertainment options you choose, one thing is for sure, the music is definitely one of the most important factors in keeping your event or party fun and entertaining! By the way, we know some great DJs, if you're looking for a DJ! :) Regardless of which DJ/DJ company you hire, be sure that they know the hit songs to play, to keep you and your guests dancing, all night! Here's a great list that you can use, which includes fun songs from a variety of genres! These are the most common hit songs we play for the Austin and central Texas region. Every region may have slightly different lists, but most lists should include many of the songs, below. These are the top 200 songs of all time! It's really hard to keep it to just 200 songs, but we'll try our best. Keep in mind, this is based on what we play and the majority of the events we do, are weddings. For parties, you can still use the list, but perhaps not play some of the slower songs. For a breakdown of different genres, visit our online music library. You'll find a better breakdown of genres, as well as key moment songs, in our "popular list" section. Also, since we're in Texas, we have to include a great list of Texas Country and Country songs for your event! Check out our 20 Great Texas Country Wedding Songs article, for great song ideas!

We first wrote this article, in December of 2017. We've updated it, now, since it's almost 2019, already! Wow, 2018 flew by! :) Some songs have moved way up, others have moved down, and even some have dropped off the list, entirely! Either way, this is a great list of songs and you can still tell your DJ to play these songs and feel free to tell them Austin's Best DJs helped you create this great list! :) Top 200 Songs for 2018/2019 Weddings Parties & Events1.

Let Me Clear My Throat DJ Kool 1997 Hip Hop If you'd like to hear this song, or play the entire playlist, here is our playlist link: Top 200 Wedding, Party, Event Songs  DJ For Hire: How Much Do Wedding DJs Cost? Updated for 2018/2019 If you're looking to hire a wedding DJ, in Austin, Central Texas, or anywhere, you definitely want to know the average cost to hire a DJ for your wedding, quinceanera, party of event. Let's be honest, price does matter! The surprising thing is, hardly any DJ and photo booth companies are still not upfront about their prices. We wrote this very popular article, 2.5 years ago, and it still remains true. (This article has received over 15,000 views). Don't believe me? Stop reading, here, and do a quick search in Google, Bing, or whichever search engine you prefer, and search: "Wedding DJs Austin, DJ for weddings, photo booth, or photography booth, DJ near me," or whatever search terms you prefer, and look for pricing. You will be looking for a while, so come back when you're ready, we'll be here. :) Why Don't Wedding DJ & Photo Booth Companies List Prices? So let's discuss this a little further. First of all, why are DJ and photo booth companies so afraid to be upfront about their pricing? Why can't they be upfront with their customers? It's not like they can avoid telling you the price. You're most certainly going to ask, and they're eventually going to have to tell you. Well, to be honest, there's a lot of literature out there that tells DJ and photo booth companies that they must "sell their customers on their value, first, so that the price doesn't scare them away." Here's a shocker: Price may scare customers away, anyway, even after hearing the long sales pitch. The bottom line is, price does matter to nearly every customer, except for the wealthy customers and the top 1% of course. So let's answer this price question. For us, we at least list our starting prices and cannot list prices for everything, since it really varies, depending on the customer's needs, location of the event, size of the venue, number of people attending, how many sound systems we need to bring, lighting needs, etc. We cannot speak for all companies, but I can certainly give you a range of pricing, based on our most current research. Average Price for Wedding DJs in Austin, TX Price Ranges For Wedding/Event DJs - Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booths First, you can start at the lower end. You can go on Craigslist or Thumbtack, and find hundreds (literally) of DJs advertising their services on there. You'll find a lot of brand new DJs, offering low prices, simply because they want to gain experience. Well, I don't know about you, but I did not want a new DJ to learn on the job, at my wedding and I'm sure you don't want the same, at your wedding! Learning means, possibly making mistakes, so no thanks. Ironically, one of our competitors got a recent review about this very thing happening to them! The bride complained about every mistake their DJ made, and then said that the DJ said "sorry, this is my first wedding." Though everyone has to start somewhere, they should not start at your wedding, at your expense. Even though the DJ company gave their bride a refund, it doesn't change the fact that that couple will NEVER get to have their perfect wedding that they spent countless hours planning for. As a DJ company, we know we only get one shot to make your day perfect and therefore, we do NOT hire new DJs or inexperienced DJs. It's not worth it. Many companies do, simply to pay their DJs less, and make more of a profit. We care more about our client's experiences, and NOT the profit we make. We know that doing an exceptional job is a must, and as long as we do, the profits will come. Sorry for the digression, but I can't emphasize the importance of professional, experienced DJs, enough! Back to the topic! :) There are numerous DJs on Craigslist, Thumbtack, and even on Google Ads, using various marketing techniques, such as "Voted #1 in Austin, or Texas," or "super cheap DJ services" but you have to ask, based on which poll were they voted #1? "Super cheap" ummm... I don't know about you, but I always question the value of anything cheap. Sure, saving money is great, but if something is really cheap, you have to wonder why. The truth is, you have to do your own research on the companies or individuals you want to hire. Next, you can simply take the time to draft an email, and email each company, individually, by filling out their contact forms, but, beware, you'll be bombarded with emails, calls, and text messages, all wanting your business. So be prepared for that. We've gotten feedback from many of our clients about this. It's surprising how high-pressure many of these sales staff can be. I presume they either get a commission, or will be the actual DJ at your event, so they really want your business. So when you send your emails, remember, it's like going to a car dealership, so be prepared. (Almost nobody likes to go to a car dealership). Our suggestion is to create a brand new email for your wedding, such as "JohnJaneDoeWedding@gmail.com" this way all those emails will go directly to that email, and not to your usual one. Just be sure to check it, often. :) Lastly, you can also go on wedding professionals sites, such as The Knot, Wedding Wire, or Wedding.com, and you'll be able to email several DJ companies at once. This also gives you a chance to see pricing info, or at least a range, though still, many companies refuse to list their price on these sites, too, surprisingly. (Why are they hiding?) The good thing about these sites is that they allow customers to leave reviews, so this will help you learn more about the DJ or photo booth company you're researching. This is probably your best bet. Companies that advertise on these sites, are companies that are the busiest, which means they usually have lots of experience. These sites are not cheap to advertise on (yes, we advertise on them, so we know how much it costs), so chances are, these companies will do their best to do a great job, since their reputation matters. It's a very competitive business, everywhere! There are hundreds, if not thousands of DJs in the Austin area, and more throughout the central Texas area. So here's the bottom line: The prices can really vary in the Austin and Central Texas area. They can be as cheap as $200 for your entire wedding, quinceanera, or event, and higher, up to $4000 or more, for your event! The key is to find out what's included with your service. The picture, above, is from the most recent research for wedding costs in downtown Austin, Texas. It lists the average price that most couples pay as between $568 - $946. It also lists the price you'll pay for well experienced professionals, as $1514 or more. We actually are well experienced professionals and charge a less than this, for our average wedding! Wow, what a great deal! :) However, this does not give details about how many hours, or what's included with the service. If you are not having a wedding in the Austin area, you can easily find out how much the average cost is in your area, by simply visiting the cost of wedding website. Just put in your zip code and you'll see all the information for your area! Wedding DJ Cost - Based on Number of Guests The second picture, is a little more accurate, as it takes into account the number of guests at your wedding; however, again, it does not state the number of hours or what is included for this price. Not all DJ companies will charge based on the number of guests you have, but it does make a difference. DJ companies need to know the number of people and the size of the venue, in order to know what equipment is right for the best sound at your venue. There's a big difference between a wedding for 50 people, versus 300 people, in terms of what DJs will need to bring. Again, keep in mind, the above numbers are the "average" and you'll find some companies that charge more, and others that charge less. Questions to Ask Your Wedding/Event DJ Questions to Ask Your Wedding/Event DJ - Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booths
Lastly, remember, you're interviewing them, so feel free to ask "Why should we hire you, versus the others?" Hint: Their answer should not be based on all their great equipment. Most people don't know the difference between DJ equipment brands, so this is irrelevant. Questions to Ask Your Photo Booth Company
Overall, remember, you are in control of how much you spend for your event, not the DJ or photo booth company. Find out what the value is, for your money. What does the $4000 company do differently, than the $200 company, or the $1000 company? Do your research and pick the company that best suits your needs! Good luck, and as always, email us for questions. We're always happy to help everyone, whether they're a customer or not! :) Be sure to check out our previous article on how much wedding DJs cost 2017/2018. -Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booths  5 often overlooked wedding planning details!
