When guests first arrive there is often nothing for them to do until the ceremony actually starts. This can be an awkward time for the ones who attend alone. A good idea would be to extend the cocktail hour to let everyone get acquainted while you and the groom sit for your wedding portraits. Invite guests to have a drink and mingle (strolling bar idea).
The right music can make (or break) your reception. Whether you hire a band or a DJ, music sets the mood, so choose carefully. The first decision is band vs. DJ, and that will largely be determined by your budget.
