For many couples, music is a hugely important part of their wedding day. After all, music and specific tracks can have emotional meanings and create the right tone for key moments. From the song you choose to walk down the aisle, the perfect drinks reception atmosphere, to that memorable first dance track and the very best tunes that will get your wedding guests boogying on the dance floor all night long!

Whether you want a relaxed atmosphere throughout your wedding day or want to get the party started right from the get-go, musical entertainment is a brilliant option for your to achieve that. There are many different options from Wedding DJ's and Discos to Live Bands and it's all about choosing the right supplier that can help you hit the right note with your wedding guests and set the tone for the moment.

According to our wedding planning checklist, you should be thinking about booking your wedding band and/or wedding DJ around 12-16 months before the big day to have a greater chance of getting your preferred supplier.

Here are some tips to help you choose the right wedding band or wedding DJ:

  1. Match Your Musical Style: Think about the music that brings you joy and sets the mood you envision for your wedding. Whether you're into timeless classics or the latest hits, find a band or DJ who can groove to your preferred genre. It's all about creating a playlist that resonates with you!
  2. Experience and Professionalism: Look for wedding bands or DJs who have plenty of experience in the wedding scene. They'll know just how to keep the party going, read the crowd, and make your wedding day unforgettable. Experience brings confidence and an understanding of what works best for different moments of the wedding day schedule.
  3. Performance Examples: Can you go and watch the wedding band play during a showcase, or at an upcoming gig? Do they have any example videos of their performances that can help you understand their usual repertoire? You want to make sure that you can see either a live or recorded performance before you book them for your wedding.
  4. Reviews: Reading reviews from other couples can give you valuable insights. Check out what others have said about their performance and professionalism. You can also ask your loved ones for recommendations, as personal experiences can be a great guide.
  5. Your Ideal Sound: Every wedding is unique, and your big day should reflect your personal style. Have a chat with potential wedding bands or wedding DJs about customising your playlist to include your favourite tunes and special requests. They should be excited to work with you to create a personalised experience that's uniquely yours.
  6. The Logistics: Enquire about the equipment they'll bring to the party. High-quality sound systems and lighting are essential for creating the right atmosphere. Discuss the logistics of their setup to ensure everything fits seamlessly into your wedding venue.
  7. Personal Connection: It's important to feel a personal connection with the band or DJ you choose. Arrange a meeting or video call to discuss your vision and get a sense of their personality before you book. You want to be sure that you can feel comfortable and confident in their abilities will help you relax and enjoy your special day.

FAQs About Wedding DJ's, Discos and Live Weddings Bands

In order to pick a great wedding 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 suit 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, PA and microphones, and many have disco lighting. Live bands with 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 first and foremost meet your musical needs but also your guests too.

Whether you need both a wedding band and a wedding 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.
