Although many wedding bands saw a decrease in wedding bookings back in the 90's, more and more brides today are once again choosing to go with live music for the wedding reception. A wedding band will add an elegant touch to your ceremony and/or reception. Even in these days of digital, it's impossible to beat the sound of live instruments. Another big selling point for live wedding bands is diversity. Unlike the DJ, a band can perform a song using their own unique style. While the battle between the live wedding band and the DJ will continue over the next several decades, the final decision to hire a wedding band or a DJ is based on personal preference. Choosing may not always be an easy task. If you can't decide, many brides are going with a band / dj combo to get the best of both worlds.
When should I hire a band for my wedding?
You should hire your wedding band at least 9 - 24 months before the wedding.
