Engaged couples seeking offbeat live wedding music might find just what they're looking or at a nine-band showcase being staged as part of this Sunday’s “Wedding Crashers” fair in Brooklyn. We talk with Aaron Thurston of The Engagements, a band that will participate in the event. Plus: wedding planner Karen Bussen talks about her clients who've marched down the aisle to the beat of their own (carefully chosen) drum.

With wedding season underway, we look at a crucial task facing brides and grooms: the playlist. We talk with wedding planner Karen Bussen and Colleen Crumbcake, owner of Pop Shop DJs (which bills itself as a “cheese-free” mobile DJ service) about the dos and don’ts of wedding music.
