Some people like having DJs at their reception and other people like having live music. Wedding entertainment is really a big part of any reception. You want to be sure you do your homework before choosing one or the other. When you decide on a DJ or a band then you need to look for one that plays the kind of music that you want playing at the reception.
There are a lot to choose from so once you decide on the type of music you want played then you need to decide how much you want to spend on the entertainment. Once you have a price set, then you can call different bands and DJs that are in your price range and have them come audition for you.
You should be sure you audition them before hiring them. Sometimes people will tell you that they loved this band they used or heard and this person is in your price range. However, you should never hire someone without hearing them first because you do not want to hear them for the first time at your reception and find out that they are no good.
Some people do not know how to find performers for a wedding and that is fine because there are people you can hire to do that for you. Just be sure you let that person know exactly what you are looking for in a performer. Once they have narrowed it down to just a few performers you can then have them audition for you.
This will save you time because you wont have to listen to several different bands and DJs you only have to listen to the ones that have already been picked by the person you hired to find your entertainment. You can not fit an eight piece orchestra or band into a small venue. If you have a small venue then a DJ may be the best option or maybe even a singer without a band. You have to make sure that you have room for who ever you decide to hire.
It is also important that you check with the venue to see if they have a license for entertainment. This is very important because without a license you will not be able to have performers in the venue where your reception will be held. Once you are certain you can have performers at the venue you can look into other type of entertainment such as hiring dancers to entertain the guest while they eat and mingle.
You could hire ballroom dancers, salsa dancers, or belly dancers. Everyone will love watching the dancers while they are enjoying a meal. You could also choose to hire celebrity impersonators to keep your guest entertained. This would be unique and people would love it and talk about how unique and fun it was for a long time afterwards.
Just remember this is your big day so hire the type of performers that you want. Do not worry that hiring dancers or a celebrity impersonator is not normally done at receptions. You do what you think would make your day fun, exciting, and entertaining for everyone including yourself.
