Is it better to have a live band or disc jockey play at the wedding ceremony and reception?
While some believe a live band is the best music option for a wedding reception, others will argue that a talented disc jockey can be just as enjoyable, if not more so. Most do agree however, that unless your ceremony is themed and requires a disc jockey, live music should be played during the ceremony.
Will a disc jockey be as talented and professional as a band?
A good disc jockey will choreograph your entire wedding reception, and is often a talented host and narrator for your reception events. If you have specific songs or themes you would like to hear, inquire about their availability before booking your disc jockey service.
Will a disc jockey make announcements?
It is important to communicate prior to the performance what you expect of the disc-jockey service. If you expect them to announce names or perform other special services, be sure to provide them with the proper pronunciation of names for the bride, groom, mother, father, best man, etc. A poorly read announcement is often worse than none at all. Plan ahead to avoid embarrassment.
Does a disc jockey have all the songs we will want?
Be sure the DJ has the songs you request in their inventory. Ask to see a music list and determine their willingness to purchase additional discs if necessary. And remember to have your entire agreement in writing signed by the DJ or their manager.
How much will a good Disc Jockey cost?
A talented disc jockey can usually be hired for $300 or more. The more experienced the disc jockey, the more the services will cost you - but they are generally well worth the extra expense. State your budget and be specific about your requirements, insisting all agreements be in writing. Remember, a poor disc jockey can ruin the party - A talented disc jockey can make the party memorable and fun!
