Entertainment Choices... DJ or Band? Which way to go....

There are two concrete choices to decide upon when choosing your wedding or party entertainment. Is a DJ/Entertainment company or a Band the avenue you want to go down? 


As one of the top Hudson Valley Wedding and Party DJ companies, we have performed at hundreds of events. Many times we are the only entertainers at the function, but there have been instances where a band has been with us as well. Here are a few reasons that looks at the why hiring a formidable DJ/Entertainment company from the Hudson Valley may be a better choice than a Band. Please remember to keep in mind that your event should reflect your style and what you think will have the best positive impact on your event. 


DJ's are less expensive. You could easily spend $3500 and up on a reputable band that regularly plays receptions, while the average price for a DJ is $800 to $2000 (depending on your area).

DJs act as coordinators. We usually set the pace of your event and we coordinate with the caterer, photographer, hall, and videographer, to make you event run smoothly.

DJ's take up less space. You in turn have more room for a dance floor.
Repertoire - DJ's are unlimited in the type of music that they play. From big band to current music. If it's been recorded a DJ can play it. Most DJs carry tens of thousands of tunes to choose from. Yet if a band knows 300 songs that's considered amazing. What about actual artists? Big MJ fan?  Can the band sound just like him? With a DJ, you don't have to worry about that. You always get the original version and often DJs can offer a variety of versions to suit your taste.





Current music - A DJ has the capability of playing a song the day it comes out while the band has to practice it for weeks.

Reliability - If one band member gets sick, guess what? Possibly NO band! If your DJ can't perform, some of the most reputable DJ/Entertainment companies throughout the Hudson Valley are part of the Hudson Valley DJ Association, with other companies always ready to help each other out.  






As always, making choices for your special day and event are unique to your style and what you are looking for.
