| DJ vs. Band |
Why should I use a disc jockey entertainment service instead of a live band?
Reliability: A DJ service has less staff to rely on to show up and provide an optimum performance.
Variety: The larger the guest list, the more variety in music is needed. Live bands are usually limited to what they can play well. Our
extensive music library can keep any crowd happy.
Dancing: People like to dance to the music they are familiar with. We play the original versions of your favorite music.
Cost: Fewer personnel at your affair can mean lower cost to you. Our professional staff will provide your favorite music at a
reasonable rate.
Sound: A DJ service can tailor the sound level much easier than a live band can. We will reduce the volume level during cocktails
and meals to allow your guests to chat comfortably; music will typically be played somewhat louder during dancing, but this is totally
at your discretion. We also use techniques to adjust our sound system to the reception room, making the sound pleasing to you and
your guests.
Participation: DJ Services tend to offer more activities than bands. Our disc jockey's will lead your guests in various games,
contests, specialty dances, line dancing and all to encourage more active participation by all of your guests.
Break Time: DJ's can "take five" during songs and still keep the good music going. A band has to take time to rest voices, standing,
and fatigue from playing. A band typically plays for 45 minutes and then rests for 15, a DJ can play music all night long.
