There are quite a few perks of having a live band instead of a DJ including:
- The unbeatable visual and audio experience of musicians performing live
- Live wedding bands can cover very specific musical themes or cover a wide range of music to suit everyone
- Live bands usually excel at crowd interaction and keeping dancefloors full
- A live wedding band brings a touch of exclusivity and uniqueness to any wedding
- First dances performed by a live band can sound amazing and highly personal
- Wedding bands can tailor setlists including first dances just for you
- Live wedding bands will sometimes let you or your friends perform with them
- Live wedding bands can fit into most wedding venues
- Wedding bands can add or remove musicians to adapt exactly to the theme of your wedding
- Some live wedding bands can offer DJ services
- Live wedding bands are made up of professional musicians meaning you can leave them to sort the entertainment side of your wedding
- They can perform throughout your wedding day and evening, inside and outside
- You can usually use their PA system for speeches etc
There's a few other things id point out too.
Wedding theme
If you are looking for authentic musical entertainment that complements your wedding theme, live wedding bands are hard to beat. If for example, your wedding theme is the stylish 1920s, there are loads of fantastic bands out there that look and sound the part. A DJ can't enhance the look, sound and feel of a wedding like a live band can.
Do you even need a DJ?
Some live wedding bands offer full, professional DJ services in between their sets and late into the night to save you money and keep the party going. Many wedding bands will offer it for free. It could solve your dilemma and save you money.
A different type of wedding band
For clients who are struggling to pick between a DJ and live wedding band we and other wedding entertainment websites have acts that fuse DJ’ing with live music. These kinds of bands could be perfect for you as they have all the best attributes of a live wedding band and fuse it with all the best aspects of a DJ.
For me, it's simple though. Live music has a special place in everyone's hearts. Why do we all still love to see the Rolling Stones or Coldplay perform? It’s not just the music, it’s the whole atmosphere they create. The huge trend of old bands reuniting has been fuelled by a desire from the masses to see them live once again, to see a visual and sonic show that can’t be beaten or replicated by anyone, not even DJ’s.
Where do I start?
I’m a huge financial nerd, and have spent an embarrassing amount of time talking to people about their money habits.
Here are the biggest mistakes people are making and how to fix them:
Not having a separate high interest savings account
Having a separate account allows you to see the results of all your hard work and keep your money separate so you're less tempted to spend it.
Plus with rates above 5.00%, the interest you can earn compared to most banks really adds up.

Overpaying on car insurance
You’ve heard it a million times before, but the average American family still overspends by $417/year on car insurance.
If you’ve been with the same insurer for years, chances are you are one of them.
Pull up Coverage.com, a free site that will compare prices for you, answer the questions on the page, and it will show you how much you could be saving.
That’s it. You’ll likely be saving a bunch of money. Here’s a link to give it a try.
Consistently being in debt
If you’ve got $10K+ in debt (credit cards…medical bills…anything really) you could use a debt relief program and potentially reduce by over 20%.
Here’s how to see if you qualify:
Head over to this Debt Relief comparison website here, then simply answer the questions to see if you qualify.
It’s as simple as that. You’ll likely end up paying less than you owed before and you could be debt free in as little as 2 years.
Missing out on free money to invest
It’s no secret that millionaires love investing, but for the rest of us, it can seem out of reach.
Times have changed. There are a number of investing platforms that will give you a bonus to open an account and get started. All you have to do is open the account and invest at least $25, and you could get up to $1000 in bonus.
Pretty sweet deal right? Here is a link to some of the best options.
Having bad credit
A low credit score can come back to bite you in so many ways in the future.
From that next rental application to getting approved for any type of loan or credit card, if you have a bad history with credit, the good news is you can fix it.
Head over to BankRate.com and answer a few questions to see if you qualify. It only takes a few minutes and could save you from a major upset down the line.

How much do bands cost to hire?
Literally anywhere from nothing (for neighborhood kids willing to play for the practice, exposure, and chance to meet girls) to a million dollars (for a big-name pop act with full stage show).
You are going to have to be more specific.
Yes!
Preferably a Punk or a Thrash band! No soft or easy listening band, you can hear that syrupy, coagulating stuff anytime. For a Wedding that you and your guests will remember for the rest of your lives, get a Punk band!
above: An SNL Punk Wedding band skit from 2013
Yes, why not? Movies leave a better impact on us if they have a good soundtrack. Then don’t you think the special event that your wedding is will be far more unforgettable if accompanied by live music?
Get a band that plays light, mainstream songs. Give them a setlist if you have one in advance so that you can have your favorite songs played live. You can even ask them to play certain songs at certain points in the function, songs that fit the mood then. Bands at a wedding usually have a playlist ready for the occasion.

You can get a band that plays all originals, if you’re family and the other attendees are familiar with the idea and enjoy original music. However, most of the guests are there to have fun and dance, so they are more likely to enjoy the songs they know and not something they have to actually listen and pay attention to.
Look up ‘event entertainment’, ‘talent agency’ or similar searches on Google. (Obviously, include your location. If you live in a small town, regional acts will come play but the fee will include travel expense. And of course, any fee also includes the Agency’s percentage.)
I think a good band will make your event more memorable than a DJ, but a good DJ will have all the current music & obvious classic ‘hits’ that are fine/expected for dancing, plus DJ’s are usually very comfortable with the various cheesy ‘emcee’ announcing duties that come with working a wedding reception.

The best wedding receptions I ever attended as a guest:
1. A big swing jazz band (at least 10–15 musicians) playing all of the classic American Pop Standards
2. A ‘James Brown’ type of band, very high-energy rock band plus a horn section.
(You would have to have some serious money for either type of ensemble!)
Another common choice is to have a solo musician or small combo play during the cocktail hour/dinner, and then have a DJ for the dancing and MC portion of the evening. (I’ve been a cocktail hour musician many times, playing events where a DJ takes over after my work is done.)
Well, from what I have seen, bands don't play all night long anyway and you should have a DJ or some sort of music when the band takes a break. Good bands should have their own DJ or put music in some form, not let you worry about the silence. If you prefer the sound of live music and don't mind the extra cost, go with a band, taking into account what I said before.
However, be aware that a live band has a limited repertoire and is less adaptable to what the guests prefer. You may have the best live band in the world, it won't mean a thing if your guests don't dance, so pay attention to their r

If it's about costs, then a DJ is less expensive, so it might make more sense if the budget is tight, though you should make sure that the DJ is keeping your guests entertained and does not just go through a playlist already made. A good DJ should adapt the music based on the guests preferences - if people are not dancing, he is not doing his job.
We have preferred a DJ, not necessarily due to the costs, but mostly because I hate covers. I want to hear the songs with the voices and sounds of the original artist, not have some band butcher Metallica.
That depends! There are many factors to consider.

Same as any other vendor; you start with your venue’s preferred list. You read reviews. You talk to them. You ask all your questions. And you start now because good vendors are getting booked up super early for this year and next.
My husband and I hired the band that played at our friends’ wedding.
They found the band through sheer luck. They were eating dinner at a restaurant that was also hosting a wedding where this band was playing. She loved the music, and just walked into the reception and started dancing! She was asked to leave, of course, and she said, “I’ll leave if I can have the contact information for the band.” She got the contact info, left, and later booked the band for her and her partner’s wedding.
We went to their wedding, and the band was great, so we booked them for our wedding.

We went to their wedding, and the band was great, so we booked them for our wedding.
One thing I really appreciated about them was that they weren’t too loud. I’ve been to so many weddings where the band or DJ cranks the volume to 11 so people can’t have conversations. During their sets, if you wanted to dance, you danced, and if you wanted to sit and chat with family and friends, you could actually do so without yelling.
Sure, hire both. The band could play while dinner is being served, and a DJ could take over after the cake has been cut and people are ready to dance.
Although it is comparing apples to oranges, they can. I’ve have DJed many weddings where people actually get upset when the band comes back on, since they prefer the DJ play instead! Now I have to admit this was likely due to the band only playing one type of music and not doing it particularly well, or maybe I had the party rockin’?
Although there’s simply nothing like the “live” sound you get from a live band, remember that really good bands that play cover songs are hard to find- as it is very difficult to emulate songs that were recorded, engineered, and produced in million dollar studios a

Although there’s simply nothing like the “live” sound you get from a live band, remember that really good bands that play cover songs are hard to find- as it is very difficult to emulate songs that were recorded, engineered, and produced in million dollar studios as are most hit records a DJ would play.
Also keep in mind one way a DJ could be considered “better,” is that they have NO limits- that is they can play any genre at their disposal (these days if not on their hard drive they can also stream anything you want from Spotify, YouTube, etc.). Bands are good but will not have this ability- and even if they did, most would not do it well simply as a matter of practicality (that is they are limited in the sound they can reproduce by their abilities, song knowledge, available gear, etc.). Bands can simply only scratch the surface of certain popular songs they know.
Whereas a DJ has endless possibilities as to WHAT they can play, and if they are one of the good ones- also has a repertoire of MC skills that can take the party to the next level of entertainment for the wedding couple and guests (using party favors, games, contests, and more).
Yet another way DJs come out on top, is not just their ability to play any and all music available, but remember they can go on for many more hours uninterrupted without tiring- especially when you feed them like most couples do. Bands are pretty limited in their scope to rock the party- especially for long periods of 6–8 hours; vocals chords get strained, and the band members will get physically tired of standing playing songs after a while.
Simply put, DJs just bring much more to the table when compared to bands- so unless the band is out of this world- I would highly recommend hiring a good wedding DJ over an “ok” band any day.
You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. It is yours and your fiance's wedding day and should be what you want.
We had a disco for my wedding in 1982 but for my second we had a lev covers band we had already auditioned in the pub….only £300. It was a great party.
Totally your choice
Weddings for the most part are a pain in the ass to play. High maintenance wedding planners…nervous mother in laws, pushy father in laws…all usually know nothing about hiring musicians and treating them with any respect. Then…you find a band you like…agree on a price and then someone in the wedding party wants to start dictating what songs they wanna hear after the fact. I’ve been there…many times. You do a soon to be newly wed a favor…and verbally agree on what, how the band will do…will be treated and the newly hired wedding planner comes in and changes everything. The band still has to load

The band still has to load up, load in…be there before the guests arrive…it turns out it’s not a 2–3 hour event….the day ends up being a 7–9 hour day of schlepping the gear in and out of wherever and dealing with drunks that wanna sit in and play FreeBird or Mustang Sally…If you have a favorite band you like…they live locally. You like what they play…their sound…their tunes. Hire ‘em. Shoot straight with them and feed ’em when dinner can be served. I’ve worked for contractors around here…You’ll see their ads wherever the topic of wedding stuff is advertised. These guys will charge 3–8 times the going rate…and pocket most of the dough. The band will be basically a pick up band of individuals that don’t usually play together and will wade through the arrangements with guys they’ve never played with before in lots of cases and could be great players and singers…stuck in the local casual scene wherever you like and wish they were on the road doing their own original material instead of playing cover tunes and the latest whoever favorite tunes of the mother in law or the brides maid….Good luck. Find a great local band you like and pay them good money for doing a tough job.
I personally think a band is a little more thoughtful, since there are so many different ones with different styles. As a amateur musician myself, I appreciate live music very much. If you and your guests are similarly inclined, I'd highly recommend one.
It’s wonderful to have live music - especially if f you get a great one that can play music that will please older folks as well as the younger crowd. It’s classy, fun and you can’t beat the vibe - more people will get up and dance.
The reason most people get a DJ and play recorded music is cost. A live band is very expensive.
I had live music at my ceremony and the early part of my reception - just flute and piano - but that was because friends who were professionals volunteered as a wedding gift. A live band for post dinner dancing would have been too expensive for us. We just had a good DJ re

Yes! As a wedding DJ I can (and have) destroy a band. Here is why:
- I have an unlimited song choice. If a song is on a record label it is available to me and I can play it. A band on the other hand can’t not play songs they don’t know.
- I can separate songs into 4 or more parts and play parts of each one simultaneously. A band can’t do this, especially on the fly in real-time.
- I can do all kinds of effects with digital music (I have 42 sound effects). A band is extremely limited with sound effects.

- I can play a six-hour DJ set outside in Phoenix Arizona in August. The band member's performance degrades in the Phoenix heat (115 in the shade) after one hour.
- I don’t need to do sound checks when I am done setting up. The band must do sound checks to make sure all the instruments can be heard.
- Bands cost more. At least a good band.
The list goes on and on.
My clients, Memphis Train Revue, has played destination weddings in Los Angeles, and is available for bookings. Do you still need a band for your wedding?
It could be nice to just play the same set as you would a first wedding. Recreate the romance and optimism of young love embarking on a new journey in life and love.
Set your budget.
Research bands online or ask for recommendations.
Check their availability.
Discuss event details and preferences.
Get quotes and review contracts.
Book the band by signing the contract and paying any required deposits.
Coordinate logistics for the event.
Promote the event.
Enjoy the performance on the day of the event.
You can place an ad that you are looking, go to a local talent agency and ask or go to a venue that the band is playing at and try to talk to them about playing for your wedding. Remember, they more than likely will have a set fee and all members of the band and crew will need to be included in your # of meals needed.
Contact the booking agent or management of the act you have in mind and inquire about availability and price for your event. If you don’t have a particular artist in mind there are many agencies that you can contact that can assist you in finding someone who will fit your needs or you can post on social media looking for someone in your region that provides what you’re looking for.

You would want to, because the live music wedding band can't play the music you want without knowing what your want. I serve a wedding Band client in Austin, and we always enter into a contract with a bride or groom only after a torii discovery process where we can learn more about their wants and desires.
How much have you got.
I know bands that will play for a bowl of chilli and a couple of beers.
On the other hand, I guess Taylor Swift might ask for a the thick end of a million dollars.
Ask other people who got married in the area.
Ask your venue who they recommend - but take it with a grain of salt as some venues charge other vendors to be on their “preferred list” or they might collect a referral fee.

The cost to hire a band for a party typically ranges from £500 to £2,500, depending on the band's experience, size, and event duration. For a smaller, local group, expect lower rates, while popular bands may charge more. Don't forget to factor in additional costs for party hire services.

Hello,
Are you planning on having a formal wedding (black-tie affair)? This all depends on the type of wedding you have in mind - chic, formal, semi-formal, rustic, or simple. You wouldn't want to hire a string-quartet band to overpower a chic/simple wedding, would you?
Therefore, figure out your wedding type then do your research on the type of band you would like to perform at your wedding.

Generally they will have a playlist and audition recording. You look at what they play, listen and decide if they are right for your event. You can ask them for references and read any online ones as well.

Ask around for recommendations. Live bands will cost more than hiring a DJ and will need to have breaks during their ‘sets’ so will probably play recorded music duro g that time. They will have a limited ‘set time’ and may not be able to play specific songs your guests may request. You will also have to provide them with food & drinks.
