DJ
- More affordable (less people and equipment=less money out of your pocket)
- Wide selection of songs for request
- Can find or play your unique and sometimes obscure song preferences
- Takes up less room in the reception space
- Will play continuously throughout reception
- Since almost anyone can claim he/she is a DJ, the talent can be hit or miss – be careful when interviewing you DJ to make sure his personality will fit the feel and age group of your wedding and that he/she is experienced
- More expensive than DJ (several people who want to get paid!)
- While good cover bands know a wide selection of songs, sometimes requests can be limited
- Takes up more space in the reception space
- Can bring a more formal flavor to your event
- Might have restricted playing time broken up by breaks
- A good band will learn your special songs if they don’t already know them – some can be huffy about it though – steer clear of these bands
After selecting DJ or band, you must be smart in shopping for which vendor to use. In a following post, I will discuss some things to consider when selecting either option.
Happy Planning!
