Live Music or Disc Jockey

The choice of entertainment will depend in part, like everything
else, on the budget. Then, it starts and finishes, in my opinion, with
the desires of the bride and groom.

You need to talk with the people you are thinking of hiring and,
preferably, see them work for the same sort of people as yourselves
and your friends.

Try really hard to get references of people they’ve worked for
recently. Don’t pay too much attention to critics’ column in the local
press or their agent when he or she is trying to get you to book
them.

When you’ve settled on a group or a DJ that’s within your budget
and won’t completely freak out your beloved elderly relatives, you
need to let them know of any special requirements you have.
For instance, your Uncle Jack may want to sing a ballad. If that’s okay with you, make sure that the DJ or musicians can accompany him or give them the name and other details of the song so that
they can get the music.

Some musicians can pick up a tune just by hearing it. Even if
someone in the group can do that under normal conditions, it might
not work when Uncle Jack is the singer.

The band will have their own needs, like a room to change into their
stage gear, check their equipment and relax with a drink (that you
pay for) between sessions.

When you decide how long you want them to work, they will say
how many breaks they need.

It’s also wise to allow about, say, half an hour between the finish of
the meal and the first music session. That’s because your musicians
or DJ will need time to set the equipment in place and check it
thoroughly.

There’s also a 99% likelihood that the meal will take about that
much longer than the caterer suggested.

You should also arrange for someone to keep the band happy. That
requires someone that is sober and reliable.

That person needs to be supplied with the fee in the agreed form to
pay the band when they have finished and, preferably, to keep an
eye on their equipment when they take a break and leave the
stand.

He must not let any of the guests, not even Uncle Jack, fiddle with
their equipment.
