They can also MC events, like Cake Cutting, right at the table using wireless microphones. Bands have to learn those special songs and rarely go out into the audience. Bands take breaks, usually 15 minutes every hour which means you may lose some guests before all the important events are done. Our DJ's make sure the music never stops, so your guests can keep dancing all night long and we mix in the events throughout your reception. DJ's play music non-stop, usually 'mixing' from one song to the next.
Bands end each song, then pause while they decide which song to play next.
This 'breaks up' the dancing after every song. Our DJ's periodically check the sound levels, from the audiences perspective, so the music is never too loud or too quiet. The main reason wedding couples choose a Disc Jockey, is the selection of music can span across a wide variety of ages and tastes. Your Disc Jockey will also act as Master of Ceremonies, to help maintain the proper flow during the reception. So while you may be thinking of a Disc Jockey just for the music, it is important to consult with them a few weeks before your wedding day, to discuss the desired order of events.
