There are two constants across all cultures around the globe and through time, that is food and music. There are regional foods and regional music that exist as direct expressions of the people living in those areas. They are the ambassadors by which the rest of the world can learn about one another. Music is integral to our very existence and many adults can remember back to their awkward school dances and the songs that were playing for distinct moments and memories in their lives.
Music is also a trigger for memory and so when it comes to choosing a song for a couple's wedding day, it can be a large decision. You are essentially creating a memory that you want to carry forward to the rest of your life. So what sounds better - dancing to a recorded track off of some DJ's playlist, or swaying across the dancefloor the sound of real instruments and a live party band? The right choice is a party band.
DJs are everywhere these days and it is a profession that anyone can join with only their laptop and the purchase of a DJ sound kit. It is essentially something that a small child could do and yet many locally famous DJs charge huge amounts of the privelege of having them at your occasion. When it is a wedding, it is the bride and grooms day and no one elses. Why deal with the ego?
That isn't to say that there is no place for the skill set of a DJ, which again, you can easily emulate yourself. House parties and nightclubs are perfectly fine venues for playlists, but weddings need more prestige.
Party bands are already more impressive because they are more than just one person with their laptop, they are a group of highly trained and skilled musicians. With real musicians they can transform the songs you already know into something more amazing.
While some may say that party bands are antiquated and DJs are the way to go, when has it ever been acceptable to outsource our entertainment into the hands of someone whose job we can easily replicate.
Learning instruments and becoming proficient is a lifetime occupation and many musicians, unfortunately, are being cast aside in this technological age but nothing can replace the sound of life instrumentation. Weddings and similar occasions are the perfect venue for a party band.
Prepping for a wedding takes time and about all money, but the price of a band does not have to be sky high and can run anywhere from $500 to $5,000. Whatever price you want to afford you can find a great band to suit your needs and also, they come with all of their own sound and PA equipment, which is not always the case with DJs. Bands are self sufficient.
DJs can charge an exorbitant amount of money and what you get in return is a little confusing for the price, but what a live party band you know that your money is going toward paying real live musicians who take an extra sense of pride and attention to detail in what they do.
