I'm just starting to put the budget together, but am already concerned about the expenses of a band or DJ. I'm nervous about doing the iPod self-DJ thing, but it seems worth exploring if it saves us money. Plus, it seems more personal than a DJ, who can sometimes be cheesy. So, here is a multi-part question: * How pricey are bands, such a brass band like the Treme Brass Band? * Have people found DJs they've liked? My concern with the DJ is that they sometimes are overbearing and ruin the mood. * Anybody tried the iPod thing and have any tips on sound system vendors?
