well this is my first wedding gig that i'm doing. and i have some questions to ask...

• what type of music should i play?
  
• what type of lights should i bring?
  and
  
• how much should i charge?
  
  any help would be greatly appreciated. i have done many mixers and b-days but i have never done any weddings b4.
  

My reccomendation is to bring all the stuff ya got. This way the crowd will love all the different light FX and loud sound. I'm not very good at making up prices though.

at least 500/600 dollars.

All the music.
A fun light show, but lighting isn't as important as music.

hmm, make sure that you RUN the wedding, that's your job, not to play music, not to put on lights, to run the whole thing for the bride and groom so their one most important night goes like they for ever hoped it would.

There's a lot of responsability, have you ever even been in a wedding with another different company, so you know how it works?

Just bring everything and talk to them and gain as much knowledge on them and what tey want to make their day very rememberable. This also helps for repeat gigs or new ones from the crowd. Every gig is a stepping stone to the next one if you give it your all.

*Bring a little bit of everything, but make sure you have the "gimmicks" YMCA, Shout, Celebration, Chicken Dance (location dependant), The Twist, Macarena, Electric Slide, Unchained Melody, Can't Help Falling In Love, Wonderful Tonight, What A Wonderful World, Old Time Rock & Roll. Look at Mobile Beat they publish a yearly top 200 for weddings, and you should have everything if not most of whats on there.

* Bring all of your lights.

* Realistically price depends on location. $75-$100/hr is respectable for a first wedding.
