Decisions, decisions, decisions ... so many to make! And all of them are important, considering that they all have to do with one of the most important days of your life!

  • 72% of all brides say they would have spent more time choosing their reception entertainment.
  • Almost 100% say they would have spent more of their budget on the entertainment.
  • During wedding planning, Brides say their highest priority is their attire, followed by the reception site and caterer - reception entertainment is among the least of their priorities.

  • When asked, 81% of guests say the thing they remember most about a wedding is the entertainment.

Trying to decide between a band or DJ? Let's take a look...
BAND

Non studio quality music


Main focus is to perform music



Average band only plays 100-150 songs

Plays songs in sets, usually 45 minutes, then a 30 minute break

Pause between each song (uneven flow)

Prices around $950.00 and up
DISC JOCKEY

Studio quality music
(like you hear on the radio)

Music is pre-recorded
main focus is to entertain your guests and get them involved

Average DJ has thousands of songs to choose from

Plays nonstop, NO BREAKS!


Continuous play (very even flow)


Professional DJ's start around $600.00-$700.00

Simply put, DJ's play better quality of music, which is already produced by the original artist and not by a band trying to imitate it. A DJ's focus is on entertaining your guests so they'll have a better time. The music library of a DJ is much larger, providing you with a better selection of music. The biggest difference is price - A DJ will cost hundreds less than a band!
