DJ vs Band

[jello]

We're starting to think about entertainment for our wedding, and trying to decide whether to go with a DJ or a band.  Having a great dance party is *very* important to us, so we're willing to spend quite a bit of our wedding budget on this.  Based on your own wedding (if you're already married) and other weddings you've been to, which one is better?

 

DJ

- less expensive ($1000 or less vs. about $3000 for a live cover band)

- much bigger repertoire of songs

- songs in their original version

- takes up less space

 

Band

- the "wow" factor of live musicians

- cover band adds their own twist to the songs, which could be awesome if they are good musicians

- a mariachi band or reggae band would be a fun touch of local flavor

- can be combined with iPod music for best of both worlds
