While many people are conservative with the actual wedding ceremony, the wedding reception gives the bride and groom an opportunity to show off their style and do things a little differently. The question is, will you hire a DJ or wedding band?
The first option couples generally consider is a DJ. There are numerous benefits of working with a wedding DJ, including:
DJ’s aren’t perfect, however. They tend to be less engaging than the alternative, which can make it difficult to get the party going. Most DJ’s also lack the “wow” factor, which can put a damper on an otherwise stellar reception.
After discussing a DJ, most couples also throw around the idea of a live band. As you would expect, there are a number of compelling reasons to go with a band:
Live bands are fantastic, but they don’t come without some cons. For starters, they’re considerably more expensive than DJ’s. In fact, you’ll often pay a band more than five-times the fee a DJ commands. And the more people there are in the band, the more expensive it gets. Bands also have to take breaks, which can lead to awkward lulls in the reception.
At the end of the day, there isn’t a “right” choice, per se. It all depends on your budget, desires, and expectations. Availability is also key. Many leading entertainers – DJ’s and bands alike – book well in advance, which may force you to go a different route than you had previously anticipated (if on an abbreviated timeline).
As you and your fiancé debate over which route to choose, think about the pros and cons and make a decision that satisfies your needs and goals – not the expectations of others. In doing so, you’ll have an enjoyable evening – and plenty of memories to look back on with joy.
