Atmosphere and the Magic of Live Music
A band is a true experience. Live music at a wedding has an incredible energy and can create moments that everyone will remember forever.
A DJ on the other hand guarantees a steady flow of energy and a nonstop party – the dance floor rarely empties.
When Should the Music Start?
A DJ can be with you from the ceremony all the way until the early hours, taking care of music throughout the day and evening. They can also provide sound for the ceremony and help moderate each part of the program.
Bands usually start later in the late afternoon or evening when it’s time to really celebrate and dance.
Choosing the Music
Bands have their own style and setlist so it’s not always possible to play every single request. On the other hand each song has a unique energy when performed live.
A DJ can play almost anything – from your personal favorites to classic hits that get guests of all generations on the dance floor.
Logistics and Space
Bands need more space, time to set up and sometimes short breaks – which also give guests a chance to rest, grab a drink or stop by the photo booth.
A DJ is much more flexible, fits into almost any space and can keep the music going non-stop.
In Conclusion
Choose the music that feels right for you.
It’s not about what “should” be done but about the day you want to experience. Whether you’re drawn to the energy of live music or the smooth flow of a DJ set the right choice is the one that makes you say: this is exactly it.
Your wedding, your vibe, your rules.
