Lately I’ve been asked to provide a sound system to hook up an IPod which is one of the services I offer
On a destination wedding where your family and friends are spending thousands of dollars on flight tickets, hotel, meals, etc. and you’re spending maybe tens of thousands of dollars in dinner, drinks, clothing, a cake, flowers, etc. and then you leave music that is the most crucial ingredient of your wedding on an IPod playlist.
If you are already spending in the sound system I think it really worth spending a little bit more in the services of a professional wedding DJ. I guarantee you that the difference will be less than the 3% of your total budget and they say that entertainment takes the 80% of the success of your party (that is a fact you can check it out)
An iPod dock is no substitute for a professional entertainer crafting a show especially designed for you and your guests. The entertainment you choose for your special event will have a greater effect than any other factor, even food or location.
