DJ or Band

Discussion by CoCo'sMommy · October 2010 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Ohio-Toledo

I am having a great debate between having a DJ or a band! I really would love both, but that would probably be waaaay too expensive. What is your tak on it ladies? DJ or Band? why and who?

We're doing a DJ. The DJ will also act as our MC for the night, he can play whatever song we want, and no breaks in the music. Plus like PP's said, this way we can many different kinds of music. Also, since I live in Colorado, I didn't have time to interview a bunch of different bands (Thinking Wedding Singer here). I used…

I see pros and cons to both sides A Band is going to be more interactive and exciting, and is a little different from the 'norm'. They will also, however, be more expensive and will be limited on what they can play. A DJ is less expensive and can play just about any music you could ever want! On the other hand, they're not…

I'm going with a DJ just because I like a lot of different styles of music. And though I like bands, I like the freedom of which kinds of music and sounds at which parts of the night. :)

We went with a band. We don't get to pick a song list, but we do get to set up an ipod for during their 2 breaks. I just think live music makes more people get out on the dance floor. But, that's just me, a good DJ really should be able to do that to.

If you have your heart set on hearing certain songs (the original version) then you have to go with a DJ. Maybe make a playlist of what you would want played at the reception and see if a band would be capable of playing all of those songs. I've only ever been to one wedding with a band and it turned out to be a polka band…

Our wedding had a band. I think bands are classy and DJs not so much, I am myself a photographer and attend a lot of weddings. A d.j. is not just there to play music he is your mc he keeps things moving. I have a loud and organized friend who acted as the mc and kept things moving and the couple songs we wanted original…

I have never actually been to a wedding with a band :( I think it would be a ton of fun! But yeah, they may not be able to play all of the songs you want to hear.

For us it was never a question. We went with a abnd and loved every minute of it. The band played such a wide variety that everyone was happy and on the dancefloor all night long. We used Grand Avenue and they were awesome. www.grandavenueband.com
