   tacky imho. weddings are formal events for adults, not a night out in a club with some twentysomethings. the DJ music is for background and for dancing after dinner, but it is not the main event. anything that steals focus from the bride is a no no.

   it may be fun for some weddings. lots of people opt for less formal affairs for their weddings and many young couples are looking for fun less conventional ways to entertain their guests. weddings are becoming more and more a time of personal expression and so it might be fun for some to incorporate karaoke into their wedding experience.

   You know what? I think it’s fine, with the right group of guests. I know that my family wouldn’t have anything to do with singing in front of others, but others would love it!

   When I first got married 25+ years ago, DJs were "tacky" – only a live band would do. Now, DJs are the norm, and some couples just do Ipod playlists all night – so who’s to say?

   sounds fun to me…especially if a little alcohol is served to loosen people up.

   I’m having DJ/KJ at our wedding reception.
   The DJ knows not to let any one sing till after a certain point. But Yes I plan on having karaoke. I know a few of my aunts/uncles & friends sing karaoke at the bars. So it will be very funny to watch everyone else do it.
   Tacky or not I think its going to be fun. If people are looking for a reason to call my wedding tacky then don’t come! Its our day to have as much fun as possible. Weddings are about memories that is something everyone will remember for the rest of our lives!

   Seriously tacky. Karaoke should have been done at the stag and hen if thats what people like thats the time to be shameless but not on the actual day.

    The best and most fun wedding I have ever been to was one that was an outside wedding that had a dj and karaoke. The worst was a formal wedding with a sit down dinner can you say Boring!

    I think it is very individual to the couple and how formal the wedding/reception is. My husband and I had kareoke because our first date was to go sing kareoke and many of our friends / guests had gone with us before or knew that it was something we really enjoyed. It wasn’t tacky in the least. Now had we had a huge formal very expensive reception I don’t know that I would do it BUT I also know I would never have something like that. We are both laid back and wanted our guests to have a good time while being budget conscious so that we had more saved for our honeymoon.

    As in all things….. to each their own.

    During the lull that occurs after the wedding cake is served….it could be fun if the crowd is the right kind…..tacky? Not if it’s done after the cake is served. However, offer the service only.

    Tacky and fun all at the same time. Whether it will work for a wedding really depends on the crowd.

    I’d say about 10% of the population loves karaoke and the other 90% hates it. I personally hate it. I don’t like singing in front of people, and the people who do sing are universally awful. I would rather just be able to dance and mingle and enjoy myself than listen to drunk Uncle Joe try to sing Journey.
