Which Type of Music Is Best for Your Wedding?

• One of the first things on your mind is likely
  the price. A DJ is usually cheaper than hiring a
  live band, and it will be easier for you to play
  a variety of music at your reception. This could
  be better for your budget, and you can make
  requests prior to the wedding to make sure that
  the music you want is included in your special
  day. The DJ can also play the music that youd
  prefer at your ceremony, but youll need to
  consider the space that you have for the occasion
  to ensure that the DJ will have the space they
  need to set up their equipment. Depending on the
  decorative theme for your wedding, you may want
  to adorn the DJ table with lace or flowers to
  make sure that it fits with the rest of the
  décor. Just remember that if you want a famous DJ
  or a DJ who is well known in your area to provide
  the music for your wedding, this could end up
  costing just as much as having live musicians.
  Thats why its important to compare local DJs in
  terms of skill and price to make sure that youre
  making the best choice.

Which Type of Music Is Best for Your Wedding?

• If youre determined to have a live band at your
  wedding ceremony and reception, just remember
  that the more musicians you hire, the more money
  youll have to come up with. If you want an
  eight-piece band for the occasion, youll need to
  have the budget to pay each person in the band.
  If you still want live music but want to make
  sure your ceremony is affordable, it may be best
  to hire a string quartet to provide an elegant
  touch to your nuptials. The quartet can also play
  at the reception if this part of the day will be
  especially refined. Or, you can choose to have
  live music at your wedding and a DJ at the
  reception. This is a great way to change the vibe
  of the two parts of the wedding celebration, and
  the mixture of slow and fast songs could
  encourage everyone at your wedding to get up and
  dance depending on their musical preferences.

The Benefits to Having a Wedding Band

• When you have a live band at your wedding and
  reception, theres a good chance that youll have
  some unexpected moments that will make the music
  more memorable. For instance, if one of the
  musicians in the band does a riff or solo that
  makes the crowd go wild, your friends and family
  are more likely to remember this. You can also
  request that the band play songs that are of
  special significance to you and your spouse, such
  as songs that are culturally important, or the
  first song that the two of you danced to.
• If youre going with a live band, consider hiring
  a singer with the band as well. Or, ask if some
  of the musicians also sing. This can add another
  element of entertainment to the musical aspect of
  your nuptials and breaks up the monotony of
  having a band play instrumental selections. You
  can hire the soloist to sing a special song as
  you enter the wedding venue or to sing the words
  to the song youve chosen for your first dance.
  Or, you can hire the singer to have a concert at
  the reception that your friends and loved ones
  will enjoy.

The Benefits to Having a Wedding Band

• Once youve chosen the location for the wedding,
  it may be easier for you to decide what youre
  going to do about the music. If youve got
  limited space, it may be better to hire a DJ,
  since this is only one person and you wont have
  to accommodate an entire band. A DJ may not
  charge as much as a live band, and it wont take
  as much effort for the DJ to switch between slow
  and fast songs at the reception. You can also
  hire a singer to perform the songs that the DJ
  spins, so youll still have live entertainment at
  a fraction of the cost.
