The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Wedding Bands Baton Rouge And DJ

By Alexandra Anderson


After exchanging vows, hearing all the speeches and posing for pictures, it's finally time to get the festivities started. The entertainment you choose can make or break the nuptial celebrations. Music and decor set the mood for the celebrations and getting it right is essential. A lot of people decide to hire a DJ, while others prefer wedding bands Baton Rouge. Of course, both options have their benefits and drawbacks. Make sure you choose carefully.

In general, live acts are fun and entertaining on any day. They make the crowd energetic and ready to dance the night away. They feed off the guest's energy and can change the temp or style of music to accommodate everyone. A themed party can also extend to musicians who complement the theme, helping you create a very unique experience.

On the other hand, hiring live music can be very expensive. They may be genre specific and find it difficult for them to play various types of music. This may preclude some members of your party from really enjoying themselves. Also, they may turn out to be bad for your specific venue, either being too loud or too soft.

The good thing about hiring a DJ is they have a large range of music to choose from. You can have the original version of your favorite tunes playing instead of interpretations that may be vague and uncomfortable. It's much easier to line up songs and so you won't have any breaks in the music.

However, you should make sure they have enough music. Their library must be wide and varied. You definitely do not want to dance to the same songs all night. The DJ must be very professional and not get too bored. They should remain upbeat and have their eye on the ball. Find someone who enjoys doing this kind of work.

Either way, try your best to see their work first hand. This helps you work out whether this is someone you can enjoy listening and dancing to. When you find those musicians, don't forget to quiz them. You need to know what wedding experiences their have, who their contactable references are and whether you need to provide any extra equipment on the day.

Once you have found your musicians you need to sign a contract. This will protect you from any possible disasters on the day. The contract should outline how much they will be paid, what equipment they need, their hours and how many breaks they will need to take. Be sure you are clear about the terms and set out the cancellation policy will be.

Whether are looking for wedding bands Baton Rouge or DJ, make sure your reception is not their first rodeo. They must realise what time constraints are typical at weddings and be familiar with the general flow such an event. You don't want to deal with upset musicians on the day. Ultimately, what you need is someone to make sure the guests are dancing and having a good time.
