SHOULD​ ​YOU​ ​HIRE​ ​A​ ​BAND​ ​OR​ ​A​ ​DJ​ ​FOR​ ​YOUR​ ​WEDDING?

Music is a crucial part of your wedding reception. It is actually the heart and soul of your reception.Whether the music is played by a DJ or a band, the decision needs to be made between you and your fiancée. The following things can help you can make the choice:

What​ ​Points​ ​Need​ ​Consideration?

​​

1. Vibe: You will need to decide on the genre of music, to reflect the theme and

ambience of the reception. After deciding on the music genre, you need to decide

who will play and which option will sound best for your reception.

2. Budget: If you take a look at the aspect of cost-effectiveness, then DJ's do cost

much less. Depending on the equipment the DJ uses and their experience, the

prices may vary, but the cost of a DJ will always be less than a band.

3. Space: At a reception party you will need space for three main things: the

seating arrangement, dance floor and music equipment. So, if you go for a band, then

you need to see if you will be able to give space for both the band players as well as

their equipment.

What​ ​are​ ​the​ ​Pros​ ​and​ ​Cons?

1.​ ​​​Pros​ ​of​ ​a​ ​Band:

• ​​The music will be played as a live performance.

• ​Guests who do not like to dance can enjoy the performance.

2.​​​​​Cons​ ​of​ ​a​ ​Band:

​​

• The hiring rate is much higher and can burn a hole in your budget, before

you even start costing up the rest of the big day.

• Many things can go wrong between and booking and the wedding day.

Bands are notorious for breaking up, then the whole band can change it's

genre and music line up.

• A band has a smaller repertoire of songs compared to that of a DJ and every song played can sound the same.

​​​​

​​​​3. Pros​ ​of​ ​a​ ​DJ:

• DJ is much more affordable in comparison to a band.

• The DJ will play the songs that you want.

• DJ can fit in their equipment into a smaller space, so they will require less room, leaving more space for the dance floor and seating arrangement.

• DJ can go on playing music throughout the whole reception without having to take a break.

• A DJ can act as the Master of Ceremonies (MC) as well, reducing the cost of your wedding as you do not need to hire a separate MC.

• A DJ has a huge repertoire of songs and will take most requests.

4. Cons​ of ​ ​a​ ​DJ:

WHO​ ​IS​ ​BETTER​ ​FOR​ ​YOUR​ ​WEDDING:​ ​DJ​ ​OR​ ​BAND?

So, let’s take a look at the three aspects that need consideration for taking the decision:

• Vibe: You can get a good vibe from both a band and DJ, depending on the

music you choose. If your guests want some extra songs, then a band might fail

as they are usually not prepared for extra songs, whereas, a DJ has​ ​a​ ​huge​ ​

collection​ ​of​songs ​ ​ ​ready​ ​to​ play. ​

• Budget: Hiring a DJ costs much less in comparison to a band. You also can

save money on hiring a separate MC.

• Space: A DJ and all his/her equipment take up much less space​, leaving you

with more space for seating arrangement and dance.

Hiring a DJ costs much less and also their huge repertoire is a perk that only DJs can offer. These points along with all the pros of hiring a DJ make them better than hiring a band. If you hire the DJ from an experienced & reputable company, then you can be sure that you will get a skilled DJ, eliminating the only con of hiring a DJ, as mentioned above.
