For most couples, music plays a hugely important role in their wedding day. Specific songs and wedding music carry emotional significance, setting the perfect tone for key moments. From the song you choose to walk down the aisle, to creating the ideal drinks reception atmosphere, and memorable first dance songs, the right tunes will have your guests dancing all night long!
Whether you want a relaxed atmosphere for your wedding day or a party that starts from the get-go, musical entertainment is key. From Djs and Discos to live wedding bands, it's all about choosing the right supplier to hit the right note with your guests. According to our wedding planning checklist, it's best to book your wedding band or DJ 12-16 months in advance to secure your preferred supplier.
Here are a few tips to help you select the perfect wedding band or DJ:
Match Your Musical Style: Think about the wedding music that brings you joy and sets the mood for your special day. Whether you prefer timeless classics or the latest hits, look for DJs near you or live wedding bands that can groove to your preferred genre. Creating a wedding playlist that can resonate with you is key!
Experience and Performance: Seek out wedding bands or Djs with ample experience in the wedding scene, as they know how to keep the party going and read the crowd to make your day unforgettable. If possible, attend a showcase or an upcoming gig to see them perform live. Alternatively, ask for example videos of their performances to understand their repertoire. This combination of experience and live demonstration ensures you're choosing the right entertainment for your celebration.
Reviews: Reading reviews from other couples can provide valuable insights into their performance and professionalism. Check what others have said and ask your loved ones for recommendations, as personal experiences can be a great guide.
The Logistics: Inquire about the equipment they'll bring to the party. High-quality sound systems and lighting are essential for creating the right atmosphere. Some Djs prefer to bring a disco dome, set up a disco ball, and incorporate disco lights. Discuss the logistics of their setup to ensure everything fits seamlessly into your wedding venue.
Personal Connection: Feeling a personal connection with the band or DJ you choose is important. Arrange a meeting or video call to discuss your vision and gauge their personality before you book. Being comfortable and confident in their abilities will help you relax and enjoy your special day.
Budget: Start by determining a realistic budget that encompasses not only the base fee for your chosen DJ or wedding band but also any additional costs that may arise. This included travel expenses if your entertainment is coming from afar, as well as potential fees for equipment rental, sound systems, and lighting setups, like a disco dome or special effects. It's also important to inquire about overtime charges in case your celebration extends beyond the scheduled time, ensuring you're prepared for any unforeseen expenses.

FAQs About Wedding DJ's, Discos and Live Weddings Bands
In order to pick a 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 suits 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, disco lights, PA and microphones, and many have disco lighting. Live bands 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 meet the musical needs of your guests too.
Whether you need both a wedding band and a 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.
