Wedding DJ vs Live Music
Choosing music for your wedding can feel like a big decision especially if you’re on the fence, stuck deciding between hiring a Wedding DJ verses choosing live music. Taste in music tends to be such a personal preference and balancing opinions of everyone involved in planning the wedding can be overwhelming.
The wedding soundtrack will bring the entire wedding experience to life. The music will set the elegant, intimate tone for the ceremony and slowly pick up the tempo throughout the wedding curating a smooth transition energetically from the cocktail hour into dinner and finally bringing in the party vibes and dancing tunes at the reception.
There are some major differences between choosing a Wedding DJ verses a Live Wedding Musician which I’ve highlighted for you below.
Still indecisive?
There is a third option...
why not choose both?
I’m excited to tell you, there is a world where you can have it all. Musicians and DJs have been known to join forces to offer the full package. Live Music and DJ’s each shine in different ways in the world of weddings and hiring both can truly bring the energy to a new level of beautiful. Your wedding soundtrack will be perfectly curated for every single moment of your entire wedding experience and the impact of hiring a team to operate your wedding music will be huge.
You may be able to find a DJ/Musician Duo that already works together, which would be a score as they’ll already have a cohesive workflow and team dynamic.
You can also hire a musician for part of your wedding and a DJ for a different part of your wedding and that would work well too.
