Planning Your Day

We know how important music is to your big day.  And we know that you'll be making hundreds of decisions over the weeks and months leading up to your wedding.  That's why we've simplified the planning process into three easy steps.  We'll work closely with you to ensure your wedding day music is exactly how you envision it — personalized, seamless, and unforgettable.

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We'll start with a free phone call or in-person meeting to get to know you and your vision for your wedding day.  We'll discuss your preferred music styles, the venue, and any special moments (like your first dance or family traditions) that require the perfect soundtrack.  This is your chance to share your ideas, and we're here to answer any questions.

Step 2: Personalized Planning Form

After our consultation, if you choose to use our services, we'll send you a detailed planning form.  This form allows you to map out the timeline of your day and specify your music preferences.  From ceremony songs and reception playlists to special moments, it's your opportunity to create a personalized musical blueprint.  Don't worry if you're not sure about everything yet — we're here to guide you!

Step 3: Final Review Before the Wedding

In the week leading up to your wedding, we'll connect with you to go over your completed planning form.  This is when we confirm all the details, double-check your music selections, check the phonetic spellings of people's names, and make sure there are no last-minute changes.  By the time your wedding day arrives, everything will be perfectly in place.


On Your Wedding Day

The months of planning are finally done, and the big day is finally here.  All there is left to do is for you to marry the love of your life.  Here is a breakdown of what we will do on the day of to ensure your special day is perfect.

  1. Early Arrival and Setup

    We'll arrive at your venue well in advance to set up all the equipment.  Our state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems will be tested to ensure everything runs smoothly, creating the perfect ambiance for your ceremony and reception.

  2. Ceremony Music

    At your ceremony (if you need us), we'll provide about 15 minutes of quiet pre-ceremony background music as the guests take their seats.  We'll play processional and recessional music of your choosing, plus any special ceremony music (sand ceremony, wine ceremony, unity candle, etc).  We will also provide a microphone on a stand and a small podium/stand for speeches.

  3. Cocktail Hour

    While you're taking photos or mingling, we'll set the mood with a curated playlist that complements the atmosphere.  Light, enjoyable music will keep your guests entertained and engaged.

  4. Grand Entrance and Dinner

    When it's time to introduce the newlyweds, we'll energize the room with your chosen entrance songs for you and your bridal party.  During dinner, we'll play softer, background music that allows your guests to enjoy their meals and conversations.

  5. Toasts and Special Dances

    We'll coordinate with you or your wedding planner to make sure toasts and speeches go smoothly and are on schedule.  When it's time for your first dance, parent dances, or any other special moments, we'll cue up the perfect songs and provide seamless transitions.

  6. Reception and Dance Party

    This is where the fun kicks into high gear!  We'll read the crowd and play a mix of your must-hear songs and other dance-floor favorites to keep everyone moving.

  7. Special Requests and Announcements

    Throughout the evening, we'll take requests (if allowed by you) and make any important announcements, like bouquet tosses, cake cutting, or send-off moments.

  8. End of the Night

    We'll help wrap up your celebration with a memorable final song that leaves everyone with a smile.  If you plan a special "goodbye" picture or special send-off at the end of the evening, we'll assemble your guests for it.  Afterward, we'll pack up our equipment quietly and efficiently so you can enjoy the rest of your evening stress-free.


Let Us Make Your Day Extraordinary

Music is the heart of any wedding celebration, and we're here to make sure yours is unforgettable.  With expert DJ services, an option for live music, and a focus on personalization and professionalism, we'll create an experience that you and your guests will cherish forever.

We met George and Rod at my sister's backyard gig. We LOVE live music and loved their duo. We learned they have done weddings in the past. George and Rod were the perfect mix for our big day! Sound during our ceremony, live music during cocktail, and MC/DJ during our ceremony. We cannot begin to explain how amazing they are to work with!!! We received SO many compliments from our guests, even weeks after the wedding! We can't wait to continue supporting GNR Duo in the future!
