What To Consider When Choosing an Entertainment Option for Your Wedding

If you have started researching entertainment options for your event, suffice to say you’ve already seen the pros and cons of hiring either a DJ or a band. It is important to have solid entertainment for any occasion to ensure that your guests are in high spirits throughout the day.

Of course, you’ll need the perfect wedding venue to accommodate this. But you must get the right kind of entertainment, regardless of the location of your wedding venue.

So, if you are stuck between going with a wedding band or a DJ, we have outlined some ideas to help you decide on the best entertainment option for you and your wedding!

·       What Is the Size of Your Budget?

As it is with every wedding planning detail, the budget remains a deciding factor. The portion of your budget allocated to entertainment will immediately tell you which of the two you can afford.

Although a wedding band costs significantly more than a DJ, it is excellent at engaging a crowd and getting people on their feet for a unique and memorable time.

·       What Kind of Music Do do You Want For Your Wedding?

Deciding between a DJ or a live band is also dependent on the kind of music you would like at your wedding reception. While a wedding band may play covers of any music genre, they may not be very familiar with your music choice. As a result, their rendition will have a unique sound that may be different from the original. On the other hand, a DJ can play virtually any music from any genre of your request non-stop.

·       Is Your Reception Hall Big Enough?

The size of your reception hall is another determinant of whether you will use a DJ or a live band for your wedding.

A live band typically requires space to set up, so this automatically means that you will need a big reception hall if you want live band entertainment. On the other hand, a DJ only needs room to set up their sound system.
