My fiance and I just decided that, despite initially cutting one out of the budget, we really want a band or DJ for our May 2011 wedding in Bodega Bay, CA. We both live in Az currently, so it has been difficult to contact or meet any bands in the area. Has anyone seen a wedding band or DJ in the area recently that they would recommend? I would really appreciate personal suggestions! We can't afford anyone world famous,  and are mainly wanting fun music to dance to. Ideally, I would love a band or DJ who likes to interact with the guests and has a good sense of transitioning from light dinner music to a fun mix of old/ new dance music. I'm open to suggestions from anyone with some experience in this department! Thank you so much for your help!

    A band is going to be expensive. My friend got an 80s metal (mostly) cover band for 4k. They really just played 80s music. You are going to pay more for a band that has range.
    I am using Denon and Doyle as my DJ. They have been highly recommended to me and they start at 1100 for 4 hours. My friend used Fog City and they were great as well.
    Hope that helps.

    Denon and Doyle has different personality types of DJs depending on how much involvement you want them to have with your guests. I would go to their website and email them. They are very responsive.

    I don't know what the price is, but at a wedding that I catered there was a band called Mac the Knife that were pretty awesome. They did all kinds of genres and sounded great.

    I don't know if they are willing to go to Bodega Bay, but I've been pleased with the interaction I've had with Sound in Motion (I work with their Campbell office but they have four locations total). They have a wide range of prices and DJ personalities. Check them out!
