It seems to us there is a small number of couples who know exactly what they want, where as most are torn when it comes to hiring a DJ or a live band. Knowing that this is a decision that couples struggle with our friends at A Music Plus wrote down some pros and cons to consider when deciding.

DJ Pros

  • Provide thousands of songs for your wedding
  • Can play any requested song (as long as it’s not on your “do not play” list)
  • Typically do not take breaks so there is no dead air
  • Affordable

DJ Cons

  • Cannot alter songs
  • Looked at as the cheaper option than a live band

Live Music Pros

  • Offers elegance and romance
  • Live music brings enthusiasm
  • Can adapt the music to the situation

Live Music Cons

  • Almost always more expensive
  • Need to take breaks
  • Have a set style of music

Still torn? Consider both…

A live band can start the night off and a DJ can fill in when the band takes breaks. This allows for music that the band may not be able to play, help with announcements and you have a better chance of pleasing all of your guests regardless of their tastes in music.
