Here are some tips to help you choose the right wedding band or wedding DJ:

They'll know just how to keep the party going, read the crowd, and make your wedding day unforgettable. Experience brings confidence and an understanding of what works best for different moments of the wedding day schedule.
- Performance Examples: Can you go and watch the wedding band play during a showcase, or at an upcoming gig? Do they have any example videos of their performances that can help you understand their usual repertoire? You want to make sure that you can see either a live or recorded performance before you book them for your wedding.
- Reviews: Reading reviews from other couples can give you valuable insights. Check out what others have said about their performance and professionalism. You can also ask your loved ones for recommendations, as personal experiences can be a great guide.
- Your Ideal Sound: Every wedding is unique, and your big day should reflect your personal style. Have a chat with potential wedding bands or wedding DJs about customising your playlist to include your favourite tunes and special requests. They should be excited to work with you to create a personalised experience that's uniquely yours.
- The Logistics: Enquire about the equipment they'll bring to the party. High-quality sound systems and lighting are essential for creating the right atmosphere. Discuss the logistics of their setup to ensure everything fits seamlessly into your wedding venue.

In order to pick a great wedding DJ or wedding band, we recommend using suppliers that are professional, reliable and experienced in weddings. Your budget will be a key factor in choosing which DJ or live band you go for. We have a range of talent that cover low to high budgets so you can browse through and find a selection that suit you. Once you have narrowed it down, you are then able to contact these suppliers and find out if they can offer what you're looking for.
You should try to book your wedding band and/or wedding DJ around 12 months before the wedding. This ensures you have the best chance at getting your first choice and someone who will be available for your wedding date. Of course, as with all wedding suppliers, the best and most experienced will get booked up quickly, so it is always best to secure a wedding band or wedding DJ you love as soon as you find them.
Wedding DJs will usually have their own decks, PA and microphones, and many have disco lighting. Live bands with bring their own musical instruments and often a sound system. Discuss with your wedding DJ or live band whether they do need you or the venue to provide any equipment, such as a PA system or lighting.
Choosing a live band for your wedding will create an atmosphere like no other and will create an unforgettable experience. When hiring a live band for your wedding, there are so many different options. Some bands will specialise in a certain genre of music which is how you know they will be brilliant at what they do and if you're a huge fan of that specific genre, this is a great option for you. Some bands will specialise in a variety of different music, for example, a jazz band will be able to perform a variety of genres which is ideal if you have a wide range of favourite genres.
A professional Wedding DJ will help you to create the atmosphere you want with the exact musical tracks you desire. Many professional DJs will spend weeks getting all of your music requests ready and ensuring they know the age range and theme of your wedding so they can first and foremost meet your musical needs but also your guests too.
Whether you need both a wedding band and a wedding DJ for your big day will depend on your budget and the kind of atmosphere you want to create. Remember, if you are getting a live wedding band then also hiring a DJ may be an option to fill in any breaks taken by the live music in between sets.
