Choosing A Band To Hire Versus A Disc Jockey

By Billie Rivers

Are you having trouble deciding between a disc jockey, home entertainment, or hiring a live band/live music for your wedding/party/function? The seven benefits of choosing a band to hire depicted in this article will have your decision made for you in no time!

1. Effort: A live band is guaranteed to try their hardest for you and give their best performance to impress you and your guests. Unsigned, local bands depend heavily on word of mouth and recommendations in getting other gigs and jobs. This means that they will do whatever it takes to play a good show and keep people talking about them and consider them for their next event long after your event is over.

2. Peace Of Mind: With live performers the volume of music can instantly and easily be changed, along with the tempo and lyrics, to fit whatever mood you and your guests are in more appropriately without any work or worry on your part. When using home entertainment such as your own music collection someone has to be assigned that job, more than likely making you worry whether or not they will be dependable and timely in performing the same task.

3. Bands can personalize or alter lyrics for you. This can be a very sweet and special touch in honoring a guest! A band can simply throw in their name or a message in a favorite song and you have an instant personal touch! Because disc jockeys use prerecorded album versions of music, usually on a computer, this is not an option they offer. This is a very unique way to differentiate your special day from others.

4. Working a crowd is a commonly expected part of a band's responsibility and something they routinely and regularly have to do so they have plenty of practice in keeping the energy going. The performance given and music played can be related to on a one on one level with live entertainment creating a more personal feel for your guests.

5. Due to the fact that live entertainment isn't experienced everyday most people consider it a luxury. This fact makes it easy for bands and performers to add a little elegance and extravagance to your day and ensure that it will be recognized as the important, special occasion that it is.

6. Uniqueness. Most people choose to have recorded music such as that supplied by a DJ. Stand out from the crowd and make your event different! Have people talk about it for months to come.

7. Guaranteed Satisfaction: Having the opportunity to audition your entertainment beforehand, as with a band, is a very beneficial tool in making sure they are talented, dependable and enjoyable. It also gives you a chance to create a set list ahead of time to ensure all your favorite music is played. This option is not generally available for disc jockeys because there are no set requirements or expectations to judge them with.

In conclusion, there are many obvious benefits of choosing a band to hire. It is the best choice if you want your special event to be personal, worry free, and energetic! - 40726
