Wedding Reception "Music"?

Lowered volume or dinner music is always appropriate when food is being served and quality music doesn’t have to be totally deafening to get people up and dancing.

I still attend plenty of weddings with live bands - some of them can be way too loud, as well. The band leader or DJ won’t listen to anyone other than the host, though if arranged for and agreed to ahead of time, some may tell the host if there have been any complaints. I do think a host’s responsibility is to be considerate of a diverse guest list.

At our affairs 8-10 was the number of people I would seat at a (round) table. You need a few extra servers that way, but it makes it much easier to talk to people.
