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.
Music is also a trigger for memory and so when it comes to choosing a song for a couple’s wedding day, it can be a large decision. You are essentially creating a memory that you want to carry forward to the rest of your life. So what sounds better – dancing to a recorded track off of some DJ’s playlist, or swaying across the dancefloor the sound of real instruments and a live party band? The right choice is a party band.
Many people get DJs for their parties and occasions, but other than having playlists of music and a small sound system to play them out of, what is it that they do that a child couldn’t accomplish?
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 are already more impressive because they are more than just one person with their laptop, they are a group of highly trained and skilled musicians. With real musicians they can transform the songs you already know into something more amazing.
Some may say that DJs are the better choice, but it is nothing more than the sign of the times that we would prefer mediocrity and a modicum of talent that can be easily duplicated by ourselves.
Musicians are dedicated to their craft and have spent their lives learning music and musical instruments and are dedicated to the art of music in a way that a DJ could never be. Also, there is no substitute of live instruments which lend an air of class to any occasion, especially a wedding.
Prepping for a wedding takes time and about all money, but the price of a band does not have to be sky high and can run anywhere from $500 to $5,000. Whatever price you want to afford you can find a great band to suit your needs and also, they come with all of their own sound and PA equipment, which is not always the case with DJs. Bands are self sufficient.
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.
