Copyright law for wedding music (own choice)

[jackie boyce]

Hi can anyone please help, Im getting married and would like my own choice of modern songs like songbird by Eva Cassidy, Signed, sealed, delivered by Stevie Wonder and maybe another will I be able to play them or not

As a Wedding DJ, most venues like hotels, pubs, clubs ( anyway where background/ jukebox/ bands & dj perform) will have a music licence, if it's not, it is down to the DJ / Band to have a Music licence- Not you.

We pay a small amount a year to cover the copyright and therefore we can play whatever we like. Having said that in the years that I have been a DJ and Musician, never once has anyone inspected or requested our licence.

I personally wouldnt worry about it. Good choice of Music
