a band, a DJ,or both. The major difference being the price. DJs can range anywhere
from €300 to €1,200, whereas live bands can cost more than €2,000.

may save money with this option.

like it played as their first song, the band will learn it for the reception.

your reception. There is a wide range of bands to choose from, this can be an exhausting experience. Determining the size of your reception, the acoustics of the room, can help
your mind decide on whether you want a two-piece band, a four piece or maybe even
an eight piece band.

When you know the size of the band, you'll need a band that can vary their set and
perform the songs you know will go down well at your reception. Think of the genre of
music and what kind of a sound you want' swing, jazz, classic rock or a mixture
of everything ' find bands that can perform in those musical genres.

After finding a few band names to choose from, you should go and see bands that interest
you in action. Being able to see the band you're thinking about is a great way to make up
your mind. Watch how the band members interact with their audience and how well they
play their instruments, all of this will help you when it comes time to make
a decision.

You might not be able to see the band in action, so ask for a CD, DVD or a videotape
of one of their performances, or you could arrange a face to face meeting with the band.
