Let me start with some background: me, my Fi, our parents, grandparents, all families and friends are a bunch of white people that cannot dance. Its sad, I dont want to admmit it, but its true. For example, my mother waves her hands in the air (almost as if she is swatting a bug) and she is one of the better dancers....
With that being said, I am having a difficult time deciding between a band and a DJ. As far as the price goes, the DJ will likely cost about $650 plus tip, the band will be somewhere in the $1200 to $1500 range out the door. We are looking at using a cover band that has more of a rock and roll feel.
My wedding is fast approaching (about 2 months away), and my mother tells me yesterday that she thinks DJs are tacky (she is old school and they were tacky back in her day) but nonetheless, she still thinks they are tacky despite me efforts to convince her that is not longer the case.
I am nervous that a band cannot keep the party going as well as a DJ, I am nervous that a DJ will not create the same vibe a band would. Please help! Any experience or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
