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 many different types of music as well as many different bands and DJs to pick from so once you decide on that you then have to decide how much money you plan to spend on entertainment. After you have the budget set, you can find bands and DJs that are in that budget range and get them to audition before you choose one of them.
You need to hear them play before you decide to hire one of them. You should never just hire someone because another person said they were good and affordable. If you do that you could end up hiring someone that doesn't sound very good and that could be very upsetting and quite disappointing once they start to play at the reception.
If you don't know how to find performers for a wedding you can always hire someone that does it for a living. If you do decide to hire someone to find the performers you need to be sure they know exactly what you are want in a band or DJ. Let them know that once they find a few prospects that you would like to hear them play before you hire them.
This will also save you time because it will mean you only have to listen to a few bands or DJs instead of several because the person you hired will have picked the ones that best fit your criteria. You have to also consider the size of the venue you will be using because you can not hire a band of eight if you are using a small space. A DJ could be a good idea if you don't have room for a full band. You could also consider hiring a singer that does not have a band if you really just prefer live music. Just be sure that you have enough room for whomever you choose 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.
The thing to remember is that this day is your day so hire whatever type of performer that you like. Don't worry about whether the type of entertainment you choose is normal for a reception. If you want dancers then hire dancers. You just do whatever you think will make this event fun, exciting, and memorable to yourself and your guest.
