Alternative Sounds

All your friends in one band: If many of your friends are musicians, you can create a custom wedding band. At their wedding, Gina and Eric had their band play everything from Stevie Wonder to Parliament. At the wedding of band mates Jill and Owen, all their friends played short sets in honor of the bride and groom.

Dueling DJs: Two DJs with different styles alternating beats.

Eighties new-wave dance party: OK, we know we’re dating ourselves, but if you were in high school or college during the eighties, you know that Duran Duran and A Flock of Seagulls are going to make your friends shake it. Just make sure you grab your grandma and drag her out on the dance floor when the Go-Go’s start singing, “We’ve Got the Beat.”

Lounge: Sounds ranging from sparkly French 1960s Euro-pop to neo-cheese.

Mariachi and salsa: Any community with a strong Latin population should have an abundance of salsa and mariachi bands. Scour Spanish language newspapers, restaurants, clubs, and churches for spots where they might play.

Middle Eastern music with belly dancers: You’ll find the bands by asking for referrals at your local belly-dancing studio. You’ll find the dancers at the studio. Or go to a Middle Eastern restaurant and ask the owner to recommend some groups.

Nostalgic torch sounds: Check out jazz clubs and hotel lounges to find local torch singers.

Polka: You’d be surprised how much fun a bunch of guys with accordions can be. Some friends found their polka band at the neighborhood Polish church.

Rockabilly: Twangy western guitar, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline—what could be better?

Seventies soul: DJs who spin 1970s soul get parties hopping faster than you can say “Funkadelic.”

Surf bands: These bands play music that’s fun, frolicsome, and fierce. The obvious choice for a California beach wedding.
