When planning a wedding, one of the most important decisions to make is what kind of entertainment to choose. While the traditional choice of a live band is a classic, there are many advantages and disadvantages to consider. On the one hand, a band offers a unique energy and atmosphere that can create a memorable experience for you and your guests. On the other hand, a DJ is likely more affordable and is able to play a wider variety of music.
To help you make the best decision for your wedding, here are some of the pros and cons of booking a band versus a DJ:
Pros of booking a band:
• Live music can create a special atmosphere and energy that can really bring your wedding to life.
• A band can create a unique and personal experience for you and your guests.
• A live band can play a variety of genres and styles of music, so you can ensure that everyone’s musical taste is catered for.
• A live band can mix and match their instruments for the various parts of the wedding. Ex. piano, bass, and drums for cocktail hour; Guitar only for dinner; a full band for dancing.
Cons of booking a band:
• Bands can be expensive, and you may need to pay for additional musicians or equipment.
• It can be difficult to find a band that plays the kind of music you want.
• It can be harder to control the volume of the music when you have a live band.
• Bands usually take up a lot more space in your venue.
• Bands may require certain accommodations such as power specifications or an allotment for break time.
Pros of booking a DJ:
• DJs are usually more affordable than bands, and you don’t need to pay extra for additional equipment (this is specific to DJ Kibar).
• DJs have access to a much wider variety of music than a band, so you can be sure everyone’s musical tastes will be catered for.
• DJs can accommodate requests from guests much easier.
• DJs can control the volume of the music more easily, allowing you to create the perfect atmosphere for your wedding.
Cons of booking a DJ:
• DJs may not create the same level of atmosphere as a live band.
• More in-demand DJs will need to be booked further in advance.
