The main reason that most people choose to hire a DJ for a party or wedding reception is peace of mind: it is one less thing to worry about and stress over at a big event, because if you hire a good disc jockey, you do not have to worry about choosing the perfect music and creating the mood yourself.
Great party entertainment is the key to any successful event and deciding whom to hire for your party is thus an important task. Some disc jockeys have enticing personalities and can engage your guests. Even if they do not say a word and stay in the background, their ability to determine what exactly the audience "wants" is a great benefit. A party DJ will examine the room and see how many people of different age groups are present and will then come up with the right music mix. An experienced DJ will catch the "rhythm" of the listeners and if he sees that people are fading or losing energy, he will know what kind of music to put on and what beat to choose. If he senses a mellow mood, he will put the romantic mood on.
Your decision to hire a band or a DJ will also rely on your musical predilections. A professional DJ should be able to play pretty much any kind of music. They will possess classics, Broadway songs, hip-hop, jazz or rock. Based on your preferences, he will arrive at the reception hall with suitcases full of the music you love. Whilst you can hire a band for almost any genre of music these days, they are always limited to a few specific styles, and cannot offer variety. A professional DJ should be able to take requests from your guests and keep them happy throughout the night. A good DJ for hire will have a music library of thousands of songs to choose from and it should be easy for them to buy a song that they might not already have in their collection.
It goes without saying that hiring a DJ will cost you less money than hiring a live band. A party DJ will cost less to hire and will be about to play through the entire duration of your event or your receptions without really having to take breaks. They also double up as the master of ceremonies, and take the responsibility of making announcements and so forth off of your hands. The size of the reception hall is another factor that you must take into consideration: You don't want to squeeze the band into a little corner as they need to have space to move around and play their instruments. A band will need more room to set up than a DJ for hire, especially if they have a lot of members. A DJ will only need room for a table, PA speakers and lighting set-up.
When choosing to hire a band or disc jockey as party entertainment, always do the appropriate research and do not compromise your wants and desires. Your party should be the best for you and for your guests. DJ hire has become very common due to the wonderful addition to parties they can be and due to the peace of mind they can ultimately provide.
