Wedding FAQ

Q: When will the music begin?

A: The music will begin as guests are arriving. Once cocktail hour has begun, if you have
selected specific entertainment (Piano, duo, singer, etc.) it will begin at that time.
We have many options for cocktail hour for you.

Q: Introductions and Emcee

A: Vince will serve as the Emcee for the event. Unless otherwise instructed, at the
conclusion of the cocktail hour, Vince will gather the bridal party to prepare them for
introductions. (Please use our Bridal Party Info Sheet)

Q: When is the first dance?

A: Unless otherwise desired, the bridal dance will be immediately after introductions. After
the song, everyone returns to their seats, if there is a Blessing or Toast, Vince will
introduce the speakers and have them come up to the microphone. However, this could
also be a time for other dances or special events you may have planned.

Q: What does the band do during dinner?

A: The band will continue to play during the beginning of dinner. Once the main course is
served, the band will usually break for dinner and appropriate dinner music will be
played. Once dinner has ended, the first dance set will begin.

Q: Do we need to feed the band?

A: It is always appreciated. However, if you feel that is not possible, we will understand. It
is also up to the discretion of the bride and groom if alcohol is permitted for the band.
However, it is customary that water and soda be provided to the band.

Q: What happens during a break?

A: We want to provide as much dance music for your wedding as we can. We are there to
play and not sit. We will generally take 2 breaks during a wedding reception. During the
breaks, we will DJ and continue to keep the party going. You won’t have to worry about
“elevator music” playing during the breaks.

Q: Will the bride and groom meet with Vince prior to the wedding?

A: Yes, Vince will call to schedule a meeting well in advance of the wedding. He will also
contact you the week of to review the day. However, you can call anytime you have
questions. Our phone is always on.

Q: Will we need to sign a contract?

A: Yes, a contract agreement between the bride, groom and VPO Entertainment will be
signed indicating the terms of the event. A deposit will be needed with the return of the
signed contract. If the wedding is canceled with less than 30 days to the event, the
deposit cannot be returned.

Q: When do we pay?

A: A deposit will be due with the signed contract. The remaining balance should be paid by
check, cash or money order to Vince Pettinelli prior to the start of the cocktail hour or
sent in advance. The check should be payable to Vince Pettinelli.

Q: Can you play longer if needed?

A: The band can play overtime if you would like. There would be an additional fee for the
service. You could also choose to have the DJ continue the night.

Q: How should I choose music options for my wedding?

A: Wedding music is multifunctional and should elicit just the right feelings for you and your guests during both the ceremony and reception. Read more about choosing wedding music options that fit your budget, theme, and preferences.

Q: What are today’s top wedding event songs?

A: Finding the right music for your wedding is no easy task, but we have compiled the best trending songs for your big day. Read our lists for the top father-daughter songs and best mother-son songs that will perfectly emphasize these poignant and beautiful moments at your wedding.
