Choosing the right musical entertainment for your big day is so important. The fact is, there are 3 things that people talk about after a wedding. 1- The Dress 2- The Food/Venue 3- The Entertainment. So who do you trust to provide the soundtrack for your big day? A Band? A DJ? Both?.. Lets take a look at the pro’s and con’s of each… A Band The atmosphere of a band is unique. The energy of live musicians. The interactivity of a charismatic lead singer. All pretty hard for a DJ to match. A band, while they may rock the songs they do know, they will only know a limited amount of songs. A band will almost always cost you more and take up more space in your venue. A DJ While a great band has an atmosphere that can’t be beat, a great DJ has a song list and a flexibility that can’t be beat. A great DJ can also have the same level of energy and charisma as a band lead singer. They generally take up less space and be more adaptable with the space provided. The better more experienced DJs can also act as MCs. While I’m on the subject, your MC (Master of Ceremonies), a great entertainer (DJ or Musician) can often act as your MC. Some couples ask a friend or family member to act as MC. It is a great honour, and if you know the right person, it can be a huge success. But remember that being a great MC isn’t just being funny and well spoken. A great MC will be half Entertainer and half event manager, co-ordinating with your other suppliers, your venue, your guests and you. In asking someone you know to do the job, you are also asking them to take a lot responsibility for your big day. -------------------------------------- This is just a helpful little advice for picking those 'special moment' songs for your reception...

 Entrance Song(s). 
Here is where we set the mood for your reception... Loving, Sweet, Fun, Funny or Party Party PARTY... Some couples have a separate song for the bridal party and a different song for the couple. And sometimes they use the same song for everyone... There are no set rules.. We say use this moment to say something about you as a couple.

 Your first Dance 
This moment is often one of the most emotional moments of the whole day. There is no rules for this song, this song is all about you. And don't stress about the dancing if you are not a great dancer, honestly the first dance is a beautiful moment whether you have a full choreographed routine or you just sway side to side... 

 Father/Daughter & Mother/Son. 
A sweet moment to share a dance with a parent (or a child). Talk to them about what song makes them think of you. 

 The General Dancefloor. 
We ask that you leave us some flexibility with picking the music, we welcome requests and a list of 'must play' & 'don't play' songs. But you hired us because of our knowledge and experience, and reading a crowd is our speciality..
