Music is a large part of everyone’s lives and whether or not you consider yourself a fanatic of any particular band; chances are there is music playing in the background of your life. Growing up and going through school some of the most nerve wracking and exciting times of our lives are the school dance. We worry about who we are going to go with, what to wear and when we get there, there is a good chance that some tiny milestone you have a dance will be set to music.
Songs can define moments of our lives or trigger fond and not so fond memories. For many couples, they have a song, something that reminds me of a pivotal moment in the relationship. When getting married, the choice of choosing the right first song is a decision that many couples struggle with since it has to set a good tone and be something they wouldn’t mind hearing 50 yeards down the road. Choosing a song is the hard part, choosing how you’ll hear it is an easy one as party bands are the no brainer choice for a wedding.
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 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.
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.
The worst band is better than the best DJ. DJ sounds are sterile next to the organic sounds of a party band that can anticipate what a crowd needs and adjust accordingly. The occasion of a wedding needs more attention to detail than something like a DJ can give.
