Who Says You Can't Be The Wedding Singer?
Karaoke has traditionally been reserved for late-night bars and intoxicated audiences. But why not use the concept to break the ice at your wedding and have something different that your guests will always remember?
When arriving at the reception venue and enjoying a glass of champagne, a karaoke machine would serve enhance the developing buzzing atmosphere, and provide a good laugh for some, a sweet song for others.
Using the services of a karaoke hire company, you can rent a machine that is not only one of a kind, but also easy to use. A karaoke machine offers many exclusive features, and can hold over 6,000 of the very best in sing-along songs (you should be able to download the track list from the karaoke company's website). Hits from the groovy '60s, disco '70s, rocking '80s and contemporary '90s are included, as well as music from this past decade, in English and Afrikaans.
Some of the features of karaoke machines include a wide selection of music that is suitable for all ages, normal background or dancing music of over 14,500 songs. They will usually also include a microphone and sound system for up to 100 guests, and some even have an easy-to-use touch screen interface with song search function. Karaoke equipment is usually hired out on a daily basis, which means that there is essentially no cut-off time - so you can party until the rooster crows! It'll be a reception that your guests will never forget.
When choosing a karaoke machine, there are five things one should look for: workable functions and features, ease of use, clear sound, good music and a cost-effective price range. An experienced karaoke provider should provide all five of these. Additionally, it would be ideal to find a disc-less system that just makes life easier. Karaoke machines are usually also upgradeable, so you can add an extra microphone, lighting or whatever tickles your fancy!
Some simple karaoke sing-along songs, include Dancing Queen by Abba, I love Rock and Roll by Britney Spears (of Joan Jett), 500 Miles by the Proclaimers, Billie Jean by Michael Jackson (or any Michael Jackson song for that matter, since his post-humous success has completely sky-rocketed), and Celine Dion's All By Myself.
Of course, there are also classic like Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive, Hotel California by the Eagles, Walk Like and Egyptian by the Bangles (or Manic Monday), YMCA by the Village People (always good for a laugh), Bohemian Rhapsody by the legendary Queen and anything Madonna ever sang. Some more recent artists who are popular to mimic include Usher, Avril Lavigne and Evanesence.
Hiring a karaoke machine for your wedding reception is sure to not only break the ice, but ensure an evening of hysterical fun!
