Can’t Decide Whether To Book A Live Band Or A DJ For Your Wedding?

Your Wedding . . .

One of the most important events of your life, if not the most important. This being the case it’s vital that you don’t leave a single element to chance.

Choice of music is something most couples spend hours talking through. And perhaps even arguing over. As well as the actual song choices themselves, the other main consideration is: do we plump for a DJ or go for a live group instead?

Well why not have both? No need for compromise. Nothing beats the excitement of having a live wedding band playing throughout your big day. And if the band includes a DJ option as well, then you will get the best of both worlds.



To get the band you really want, make sure you book them 8-12 months in advance if possible. Bear in mind that your chosen group will only be able to play one venue on any given day, so make sure it’s yours.

The advantage of having a band that also includes a DJ, is that you get non-stop music when the band is taking a breather. Plus if you or your guests fancy an impromptu request all they have to do is pop to the stage and whisper in the DJ’s ear.

With your very own DJ in tow, you also get the benefit of an extensive playlist that satisfies every member of the family from the oldest to the youngest. And as you know, Auntie Maud won’t get through the evening without a burst of Elvis!

A live wedding band will add an exhilarating dimension to the proceedings, particularly if, like many couples, you opt to have a video recording at the reception. If you have been to a function where there was live music, you’ll know what a massive difference having a live band makes to the fun factor. A live band can get people up and dancing quicker than simply throwing on a CD can.

And if you would prefer your chosen band to play your first dance live for you, rather than opting for the recorded version, no problem. Just make sure you give them 4-6 weeks’ notice if it’s a song they do not have on their set list already and are not readily familiar with.

Choosing a live wedding band and accompanying DJ will add a real sparkle to the proceedings and ensure that your big day gets talked about for years to come.
