How do these go for you?
I had one on Saturday. I was worried that each set was going to sit when "their " music wasn't playing but that was not the case. Even had a mixed crowd while playing J Geils Centerfold...this came in after Monifa's Touch It so maybe that helped.
Party went very well. Sloppy drunk dad and I were the last in the room and he confided in me that his racism had been cured. Not sure about that but he has time to work on it. He did participate in the 3 song set soul line dance.
 
I've worked mixed-race weddings before and haven't had any problems. Maybe I've been lucky! Of course, as usual the overwhelmingly popular musical taste was urban...
 
why is this even a question?????
what is "white music"? and what is "black "music"?
just using your words.
isnt party music just party music?
wouldn't people just sit down if they just didn`t like a song?
I'm pretty sure that "a whole set" wouldnt just sit down.
heck if its that segregated then why is there a reception anyway?
sorry but this thread is just amusing to me cause it doesnt even make sense.
 
As far as this goes, people are mono, the only thing having an effect is age groups......
 
ok, now on the serious side...

I have the same problem here...

locals v transplants

When I do a "local" wedding sometimes they are "mixed" and the locals want island music, reggae, roots and will sit down when I play Brickhouse, and the such.... so I understand,,, what can we do about it? Not much, just mix it up and try to keep everyone happy...
 
what is "white music"? and what is "black " [sic] music"?
just using your words.
And whose words would that be? You're the only person who mentioned "white music" and "black music"...

Just keeping you honest...
 
Never did one, but did attend one.... it was just like any other I have been to, except maybe a little more old school rap, which I actually enjoy.
 
We have done several and you play music of different kinds and people dance (hopefully!)...

At one of my favorite receptions, a young black groom said...(speaking to the guests during the toasts), "I want you all to talk to someone you don't know, and dance to a song that you would normally not dance to, and have some fun!"

I think the young man summed it up pretty nicely right there....

Exactly.....musical tastes are personal..... and do not depend on race.
 
What's going on, Kreation? Are you just waiting for the chance to be offended? Back off.

Why don't you answer my previous question, eh?
 
If you need to ask, I'm not sure any answer will suffice. You just seem to be looking for a fight on this matter.

Again, why don't you answer my original question, eh?
 
oh Brian give it a rest,
no ones looking for a fight, if you read my origional response, I said I found this thread ammusing, seems like you're the only one here thats gotton worked up or offended, chill out.
by the way, I did answer you're origional question, I quoted the origional post, on a previous response.
