How to Save on Wedding Music
Great entertainment can really make your wedding
unforgettable. A fabulous DJ or a live band keeps your dance floor packed and
the energy up. Those ultra-special moments like your first dances and your
cake-cutting become even more special with a stellar introduction. And surprise
live performances are sure to wow your crowd.
Entertainment can be one of the most expensive
parts of the wedding budget, however, and it’s not always the easiest place to
cut corners. But fear not, there’s definitely wiggle room when it comes to
number crunching — and we’re here to give you the scoop.
The
Number-One Question: DJ vs. Band
You’ve always heard that DJs are less expensive
than live bands. After all, there’s only one person to hire and feed, so that
has to be less, right? But yes, in most cases, DJs can be less expensive than
bands since there are fewer people to book and feed.
And yet: “Think about the experience you want to
have at your wedding You may be aiming for the energy that fills the room when
a live band plays hit songs. Or it may be that you really prefer the original
artists’ renditions of songs, as played by a DJ. You may want the festive look of
a fuji band versus the tech-heavy
presence of a deejay…. lol
And of course, you might be among the many couples
that choose both. They’ll have a band play for the for some hours and the start
of the reception, then have a DJ step in and rev up the energy with club music.
And—surprise—this can save money. Having both at your event won’t be a bad idea
but when cutting cost you can opt for a DJ
with your selected kind of music…..
