If you are booking entertainment for a wedding and do not know what to get, a professional DJ may be the right choice for you. Many people want to have bands at their weddings because of the audience interaction that they get with that choice. They feel like bands are better entertainers than DJs. While you to get more person-to-person interaction with a band there are some limitations that many do not consider when choosing entertainment for their wedding.
The advantages of a DJ compared to a wedding are that the DJ has a much more expansive song list than a wedding band. A DJ can literally play any song you want from throughout the history of music as long as they have a recording of it available to them. Many of them are using their computers now to DJ wedding so they can take their entire mp3 library with them everywhere they go. They can even download songs on the fly at the event if the facility has wireless internet. This is a great advantage. Bands may have large song lists of 200-300 songs but they cannot compare with the amount of songs that a DJ can play during a wedding.
The other advantage that you have when you hire a DJ is the fact that is much easier for them to get a good sound. The songs that they play are already mixed so they have a good sound right out of the box. All they need is a good sound system to play the music on which they will almost always provide. A band can have various sound issues throughout a show that can hinder the success of your wedding.
So a DJ has a bigger song list than a band and it is much easier for them to get sound. These are two great reasons to hire a DJ for your wedding. It also should be mentioned that DJs are usually much cheaper than bands because they have less people to pay. This could be important if you are on a budget for your wedding.
