Key Things to Know.

  • DJs offer broad music libraries and original recordings.
  • Bands offer live-performance energy and musicianship.
  • Bands often require more stage and production space.
  • DJs can change genres and directions quickly.
  • Some weddings combine live musicians with a DJ.

What This Means for Your Wedding.
