Now i am not set on this either way, i will give as much info as i possibly can. I put a poll up on fb and some of my actual guests have said dj and others have said band.We are having both a social & wedding so we need music for both. Not everyone at the social will be at the wedding. I won't even know everyone at the social so i am not sure if i would want to spend the money on a band then.
I am debating whether or not to have a live band and if it should be for the social or for the wedding, the one i heard before is only $950 with gas (oot) which is cheap, the dj is 400 (with tip) so not a huge break the bank. Some people think social, some people think wedding, to me a wedding is more intimate and a band would fit more, and to others they think a dj that can play it all would fit more, and to me at the social i would want fist pumpin action music (overly descriptive lol) which you don't really get from a band. Now as i said i am torn, not set and opinions are very much welcome. I know it is our wedding but i want to please my guests, i want to make sure THEY have a good time.
Here is the biggest part of my hold up, his cousin had them at their wedding. I don't want someone to think i am copying them. I did not dance ( i need pop music but at my own wedding i would dance anyways) but i knew every song and i had a very enjoyable time listening to them. The dance floor was PACKED for every song, not like hit & miss with a dj, maybe it was more people did not want the band to play for no one or what but i have never seen so many people stay on the floor.
If you were me (your not, i know) what would you do? What do you think would please your guests (most are pretty non-judgemental and would have fun either way) the most? This band has both a female & male singer, they are really good. The dj i have is also good & knows how to work the crowd.
Would you have the band for the social or wedding?
