Wedding Entertainment-The Professional DJ Or The Classic Live Band?
What’s so classic about a live band you might be thinking. We get them every week down at the local. And professional D J’s? What exactly is so professional about the modern equipment set-up? Anyone can programme a laptop to play the best of the 80′s, Lady Gaga and The Beatles on a loop, so why pay for the privilege?
Measuring Professionalism and Quality
Yes, technology may have given way for an alternative format of DJ coverage, however it doesn’t mean you are just hiring someone who knows how to use a computer. In most cases, you are hiring someone who is additionally an entertainer, Master of Ceremonies and sound technician to boot. In the case for wedding bands, you’ll find that the quality of performance compared to your mediocre pub-rockers is measurable – plus they have experience of events coverage. The best wedding bands are those in demand, so you’ll soon know if they’re any good, just from a peek at the on-line booking schedule!
Myth: A DJ Can Cater For Any Crowd, A Band Cannot.
Sure, a DJ might have anywhere between 15-30,000 tracks in his repertoire – ideal for the eclectic tastes of a diverse party crowd, but you can’t always guarantee they’ll all be popular. A great DJ is experienced in the art of music continuity, gradually evolving the track queue-list to meet the demands of his audience. He can also read the audience and determine whether the choice of track is going to gel with the dance-floor crowd, or send them scuttling back to their seats.
