Music for the entire wedding day
Considered from the first arrival to the final dance.
The ceremony, drinks reception, dinner, first dance and party each call for a different musical role. DJ Cardillo plans with the couple which phases he will accompany and where live vocals may fit by arrangement.

Weddings
A clear musical role for every phase
Music can provide direction during the ceremony, carry the drinks reception lightly, accompany dinner and later open the dance floor. To prevent these roles from competing, planning begins with the wedding-day timeline.
The couple agrees with Antonio when DJ music is required and which transitions need particular care. Parallel setups for ceremony, drinks reception and party are planned to suit the venue.
Requests provide direction; no-go choices offer reassurance
A strong musical framework does not come from an endless genre list. What matters is who is in the room, the memories that count, cultural references and the way the couple wants the evening to unfold.
Favourite songs, essential moments and clear no-go choices are therefore gathered in advance. At the same time, enough freedom remains to respond to the guests’ ages, mood and reactions on the night.
Position live moments with purpose
Live vocals are included in the DJ packages. A live rendition of a tarantella can bring an Italian-inflected moment to a wedding. Song choices and the number of live performances are agreed personally.
German, Italian and French support multilingual families; English is fully available by prior arrangement. Announcements and hosting are agreed in advance.

Frequently asked
What matters before you enquire.
01Can the music cover several parts of a wedding day?+
The ceremony, drinks reception, dinner, first dance and party can be planned together. The parts DJ Cardillo will actually accompany, and the equipment needed in each location, are determined from the day’s schedule and the venue.
02Is live singing available at a wedding?+
Yes. Antonio combines his DJ set with live vocals; a live rendition of a tarantella can also form part of a wedding. The repertoire, position in the schedule and technical arrangements are agreed separately for every celebration.
03How is the music planned for an event?+
The initial conversation covers each phase of the event, the audience, musical preferences and clear no-go choices. Oldies, pop and club hits, hip-hop and R&B, Latin, electronic music, rock, Swiss-German music and Schlager can all serve as a starting point. Antonio agrees the right blend for the occasion with you personally.
04Which languages are available for planning?+
German, Italian and French are the core languages. English is fully available by prior arrangement. Multilingual announcements and programme elements are agreed in advance.
05Does DJ Cardillo provide his own sound system?+
Yes. Cardillo's own sound and lighting system is designed for events of up to 300 people and included in the DJ packages. Suitability for indoor, outdoor or parallel areas is checked in advance.
06Is lighting included?+
Yes. The required in-house sound and lighting equipment is included and planned for the venue. External specialist equipment is quoted as a separate line item when needed.
07Is the online estimate binding?+
No. It is an initial budget guide based on the information provided and is neither a booking confirmation nor a date reservation. Availability, definitive scope, price and contract are established with Antonio Riccio after a personal review.
