I'm not looking for cost analysis here. Which do you think provides a better overall event ? We went to a Wedding that had an excellent DJ last spring, and we both had a ball, and agreed that the music made it one of the best weddings we had ever been to.

i would say DJ for the fact that you can listen to the artist not someone that may sing well but belongs in a karaoke bar also most DJ do such a good job at getting the crowd to have fun vs a wedding singer that might be moody watch the wedding singer an tell me if u want someone like him at the wedding

Definitely a band. A good live band beats the heck out of any type of DJ always. You can compare the feel of the band and you know that it is music being made then and there. As compared to a DJ who is basically just spinning other "Bands" music. Heck if you end up going for a DJ, you might as well just get a friend with a couple of CD players to do it for you and save the money. Plus you only usually get married once, so make it something to remember. GET THE BAND.

well I think a DJ because he can have a big variety of music and what if the band only knows a certain kind of music and can't play something someone would like to hear you have a better chance with a DJ that is just my opinion. Good Luck on finding a good answer.

If you had such a great time at that wedding, ask them who the DJ was, and then book him!!
There are a couple of really popular DJ's in our area that are very much in demand...........they really make it a party! And, you can also have some kind of music during cocktails, dinner, and during his breaks, he can pre-load the music. With a live band, they're gone for 20-30 minutes.......and all you get is quiet!

I would personally choose the band. It adds some element of excitement to the room to have real musicians performing for you. DJ's are good too, but I love weddings with live music.

I always envisioned having a good DJ at my wedding...it just seems more fun that way because you get to pick from a huge variety of music, and you can personalize what songs are played for different things like first dance, etc.

DJ without a doubt. I really have no interest in having a band. The DJ, I think, has more options for you. If you've enjoyed a DJ in the past, you should contact them for more info.

DJ, you can pick all the music you want the DJ to play, and what if the band can't play all the songs you like.

I would prefer the live music. Having a DJ often makes it seem more like a prom, homecoming, or karakoe night, especially if s/he is obnoxious and in-your-face.
Two of my very good friends had a live band at their wedding this past summer. They played mostly swing-type music, which was AWESOME. It was fantastic.

well...if money is not the issue...I would go for BOTH....
My wedding started off with the DJ, where everyone danced and enjoyed the great variety of music...then came a live singer (for about an hour) where he made my husband sing for me (that was really cooool and funnyyyyy) it's one of the most memorable moments of our wedding...and then after he left we finished off the party with the DJ again...
