THE PROS AND CONS OF HIRING A LIVE BAND

As professional mobile Disc Jockeys, we have the utmost respect for bands and musicians. If it weren't for bands and musicians, no one would have any music to dance to at your reception, whether the music was live or on CD. However, we believe that our services, when compared to the pros and cons of hiring a live band, are more cost effective and will contribute dramatically more towards the overall success of your wedding reception.

The pros of hiring a live band:

They can play live music really well.
They can bring a lot of energy into the room.
They can do medleys and extended jam sessions of songs.

The cons of hiring a live band:

They will play your favorite songs “their way”, not the way you remember them.
Their songs and styles of music may be limited.
They frequently take breaks throughout the reception.
They typically have little experience serving as a master of ceremonies, which means that their announcements are not usually of a professional caliber.
They typically do not coordinate the reception events for you.
You’ll be feeding at least three or more additional mouths.
Their prices are usually much higher than what a professional Disc Jockey would charge.
