There are two constants across all cultures around the globe and through time, that is food and music. There are regional foods and regional music that exist as direct expressions of the people living in those areas. They are the ambassadors by which the rest of the world can learn about one another. Music is integral to our very existence and many adults can remember back to their awkward school dances and the songs that were playing for distinct moments and memories in their lives.
Many times there are songs that define a couple and when you get married, the picking of a song to dance to can be a difficult decision. You don’t want something overly trendy and picking something too classic can mean picking something stale. One facet that should never be part of this decision is “we should tell the DJ what we decided.” Weddings are a grand occasion and should be treated as such with the renting of a party band.
DJs are everywhere these days and it is a profession that anyone can join with only their laptop and the purchase of a DJ sound kit. It is essentially something that a small child could do and yet many locally famous DJs charge huge amounts of the privelege of having them at your occasion. When it is a wedding, it is the bride and grooms day and no one elses. Why deal with the ego?
That isn’t to say that there is no place for the skill set of a DJ, which again, you can easily emulate yourself. House parties and nightclubs are perfectly fine venues for playlists, but weddings need more prestige.
Party bands have real musicians skilled at their jobs that bring an air of professionalism and a sense of occasion to playing music. Also, with real musicians they are able to play with your favorite songs and alter arrangements and making it a true concert experience.
Some say that party bands are antiquated and cheesy, but that is nothing but the narrow minded sentiment indicative of a culture that celebrates mediocrity. Musicians have existed for thousands of years and will continue to be a vital part of any real entertaining.
While musicians spend their time toiling away at something that they love, many ventues are choosing to pay for DJs who are nothing more than a personality. For your wedding, it is better to have your reception in the hands of real professionals.
The ins and outs of wedding preparation are varied in their prices, but bands can be as reasonable as you need them to be charging anywhere from $500 -$3000. The price quotes that are given include all sound and PA equipment that will be used – there is nothing that you, as the consumer, will have to add. Bands take care of themselves.
Don’t let some DJ charge you hundreds to thousands of dollars to appear at your wedding and play songs you hear on the radio, instead get a live party band and make your wedding reception as fun as any concert you’ve ever been to.
