We all know though, that music can make or break a wedding and I for one will not have it break mine! I've worked way too hard to make this a good time for everyone so finding the right band or DJ is a big deal! I think we've got it down to the fact that unfortunately we have to go with a DJ. I really wanted a band. I just think they are more fun. I like the feel of live music. It's brings a sort of sophistocation to the event. But DJs have their plusses too.
Usually bands can't play all the songs that DJs can, DJs generally cost less, there are those charasmatic DJs out there who can MAKE the event and keep it going all night long, but then again, there are those who can't and kill it like Adam Sandler did in The Wedding Singer as pictured above. Love Stinks...Yea, Yea!
Bands can run upwards of $1000-2500! However, a good bandleader will play the master of ceremonies at your reception if you want him to interact with everyone on the dancefloor. My venue is perfect for a band becuase there is a full stage!!! Which kind of sucks, but whatever.
Mike and I know who we'd love to have!
ZANNA DOO!!! But they are out of our price range! They are the one band that I know that gets everyone out on the dance floor. I don't know what it is about them, but they've just got it! But due to budget restrictions I think it's down to
R-n-B Sound out of Fort Fun or
Dr. Feelgood Inc. Why do they all have to be so cheezy? I mean why can't there just be a classy DJ? I think Cheezy comes with the territory. Oh well. My biggest fear is this...
There are some great websites out there that help like
GigMasters where you can see actual perfomances and here actual footage of previous gigs they have done. And do your research and make sure they are working for you...they need to be open to your likes and dislikes and be willing to play or not play certain types of music because after all, you are the one paying them and the customer is always right!
