Hiring the Right Wedding Band or DJ
Choosing One or Both for Your Reception
The difference between having live wedding bands or a DJ at your wedding is hefty. This decision will influence the variety of music as well as the overall experience guests have at your wedding reception. Some couples choose to have both a wedding band and a DJ, ensuring that their wedding reception is full of non-stop entertainment and the perfect mixture of songs that range from background music to base-bumping dance jams.
Sophisticated
If you’re a conservative traditionalist and you plan on having an elegant wedding without much dancing, then you should consider hiring a sophisticated string quartet. String quartets are ideal for the ceremony as well and can provide classic wedding music for that portion of your wedding.
Pleasing to Everyone
Some wedding bands are capable of playing classics and modern day pop hits. If you want to please your guests, young and old, then find a band that will play Beatles and Sinatra classics as well as recent pop songs. You’ll be surprised to find that countless wedding reception bands offer a wide variety of songs from a handful of decades.
Specific Needs
If you are religious and would like a specific religious song played at your reception, you’ll have to ensure the band or DJ you choose can provide that for you. For example, if you’re Jewish chances are you’ll want the Hora song played at your reception after you and your hubby-to-be make your grand entrance.
