In this episode of Now That I'm Engaged, How Do I Get Married?, Kevin Dennis and August Yocher put wedding planning advice to the test in Part 2 of their "Wedding Pros vs. AI" series. This time, they compare their real-world experience against AI-generated responses to answer two common wedding planning questions: how to choose your ceremony and reception music, and whether wedding lighting is truly worth the investment.

Kevin shares his perspective as a DJ with more than 35 years in the wedding industry, offering practical advice on creating a ceremony soundtrack that reflects your personality, building a reception playlist that keeps guests engaged, and balancing your own music preferences with those of your guests. August also shares simple planning tips to help couples choose meaningful songs without feeling overwhelmed.

The conversation then shifts to wedding lighting, where Kevin and August discuss how lighting impacts the overall atmosphere, guest experience, and photography. They compare their recommendations with AI's responses and explore where technology provides helpful guidance and where the experience of seasoned wedding professionals still makes all the difference.
