DJ vs. Live Band

When planning out your wedding the music chosen is often the essential piece to creating the mood and atmosphere of your day.

Australia, Australia (prHWY.com) December 8, 2012 - When planning out your wedding the music chosen is often the essential piece to creating the mood and atmosphere of your day. Now I know traditionally you usually have a live band however today a lot more people are hiring DJ's as well. The hard question here is which one to hire for your wedding; a live band or a DJ?

There are many pros and cons to both of these choices so let us begin with a live band. Live bands have the ability to create an energized crowd and get people 'movin and goovin'. They can change the tempo depending on your guests and the sound quality is generally better than a DJ. Having a live band is excellent to set a theme for your wedding e.g. if you are having a 1920's to the 1940's themed wedding, a Jazz band would be the perfect cherry on the top of your wedding. As amazing as this all seems, hiring a live band is can be very expensive (usually a couple of thousand dollars and up) and a live band has its limitations (you may have a favourite song you want played but the live band isn't guaranteed to play it well or at all).

I personally love the voice of Florence Welch (from Florence and the Machine) but I am sure only a select few live bands singers could hit the notes she does. This is where hiring a DJ has its advantages. A DJ (or just using your iPod) can play any song you request and it will always sound the way it did when you fell in love with it. The music will be a constant stream and never have a break and can also be changed to background music quickly or to a fast dance number in a matter of seconds. A massive downfall of a DJ is that they could make horrible jokes, say the wrong names of the wedding guests or just be on auto pilot and not always be as energetic as you hoped and "just sit there".

The best thing to do when sorting between a DJ or Live Band is to try and meet the DJ or see the Live Band play before your wedding to see you if coincide. This will be the easiest way to decide as there is nothing worse than having the wrong styled live band or a bored/inappropriate DJ at your wedding.
