So many often ask which we would recommend, a DJ or Band? This question comes up so often, we thought we would inform you of the options and our feelings on this often controversial subject. Alot can come from discussing what atmosphere you want to create for your event.

Both DJ's and Bands are usually more than happy to accomodate to contributing to your desired atmosphere and overall objective for your event. Both a DJ and a band can offer a variety of music selections and create both fun & energetic or a calm and relaxing atmostphere, for you & your guests. It's thought that a DJ can offer many more selections for genres & songs, this isn't necessarily the case. Although it is easy for a DJ to download off the internet pretty much any song that you request, a band can also learn requests that can be played live during your event.

Many worry that they can't get the lights and sound effects that maybe only a DJ can offer, but in reality it is easy to work with a band that has lighting effects or companies they work with that can offer just as much, if not more.

The average cost of a DJ is usually $1000 and up, a band which provides more than one person will cost about the same depending on the same factors that a DJ takes into account. Location, hours, date & additional equipment.

As you see we feel that the best choice is to select a DJ or band that suits your event, the atmosphere and who you are. With either selection of a DJ or a band you always want to be sure to hire a professional who is easy to work with, understands your needs and is able to offer you the services you desire within your budget.
