The DJ at Hall's sister's wedding four years ago played "the typical dance party kind of songs," she said, which she doesn't want.
"You can only do the YMCA so many times," said Hall, 24.
Some couples who hold their receptions at the Four Seasons share that attitude, said hotel spokeswoman Marsha Middleton.
For more than a year, the hotel staff has seen brides ask DJs to play songs directly from their playlist-ready iPods so that only the tunes they want are used, Middleton said.
Yee, a health scientist, and Hawthorne, an electrical engineer, had the same desire for personalization for their September 2004 wedding.
Using an MP3 player -- which the couple still has -- during the Chinese banquet was the perfect balance between wanting music and keeping the spotlight on the meal and conversation.
"The focus was so much on food and eating, a DJ would have been strange, " Yee said.
