The party is all set. The venue has been secured for your special occasion. The food is bought and all of the decorations are ready to be put up. It seems as if everything is in order. All the guests have responded and even family members are excited to see each other, after many years apart. These scenarios are applicable to pretty much any function that requires planning. After all of these things have been done the only remaining party day question is whether to use a DJ or to book a band.
Many folks have opted to use a DJ, simply because it is easier. They show up with their equipment, have several hundred songs to play, usually in a variety of genres and unless they are brand new, they are usually fine for most occasions. The biggest challenge with this choice is that your DJ is limited to only the music he/she brings with them. Many times, with a diverse aged group of people, they will not have songs that your guests may wish to hear.
Booking a live band offers other options that can make your party the function of the year!! A live band brings more flavor and more opportunities than just having songs played. When you hire a band, especially if they are familiar with the type of function you are planning, they will likely be more prepared and have more of the songs in their repertoire than a Disc Jockey.
When you book live music, your options are broader and in most cases, you can customize the music better. First off, they will bring their own sound system. If the group is accustomed to playing these types of venues, they are better suited to supply quality sound, so after a couple of sound checks, they are ready to rock and roll. By selecting live performers, it is also easier to include them into your theme, whether it be sound or appearance, you have more choices.
In many situations, a DJ is a frustrated entertainer. They actually wish they were in a band! Your party may offer them the option of performing, but seldom will you find the next American Idol portraying themselves as a record spinner!! Having live music with a professional lead singer and quality back ups, will present a true compliment to your party.
Choosing live performers can be a little frustrating, but the end results are just better. You get to head out to listen to them perform and see how they interact with their guests. Find a type of music you want and check all of the live music in your area and you can always find some who will be a perfect fit for your special day.
If budget is a major hurdle, you may be limited with your choices and perhaps a DJ will be less expensive, but the overall performance and appreciation from your guests will justify the additional expense. Consider if there are times when songs are being done as part of the party. In other words, perhaps a first dance or introductions. A live band will be able to handle all of those circumstances easier than constantly interrupting a recording.
Your choices are wide open and depending on the size of your venue, when you book a band, you have more control and more options. Maybe there will be one family member or friend who has aspirations to be a superstar and you really do not wish to have your party turn into a karaoke contest, but singing with a band will offer them a great chance to test out their pipes and give you a resounding performance. And, by the way, have a great time at the party. - 42265
