Columbus Dj – Thoughts About Choosing A Columbus, Oh Dj Or Wedding Band

You’ve been planning your wedding and now it’s time to make a decision on music. Typically there are two choices, a wedding band or a DJ. For years I’ve been asked the question, “which is better”. The answer is that it depends on a number of events and factors surrounding your wedding and reception. Remember, having the right music at your reception is absolutely crucial to setting the mood and providing a great time for you and your guests.

I’m an Columbus DJ with extensive experience in providing the music at weddings both as a DJ and as a member of a live band. There is nothing like the energy that a live band can create when everything is right… the problem is that it can be very difficult to find (and afford) a band that will give you that kind of performance.

One of the big issues to look at is cost. Many times a good band will cost a minimum of $2,000 and often as high as $10,000. You can find a great DJ generally under $1,000. While music does make the reception, I do understand that there is a limit on how much most of us can spend. My advice, unless you have a limitless budget, is to spend a little extra to get a top-notch DJ and let them create the atmosphere you’re looking for. You’ll save money and still get someone who will make your reception sizzle!

Other variables to look at when making your decision are song selection and volume. Most bands are really great at one type of music. Ask them to play another style half-way through your reception and they may be in trouble. Most DJ’s have a wide variety of music and experienced DJ’s can easily move from one genre to another without missing a beat.

Some bands have only one volume… loud! In a small venue this could overpower the room. Ask them to turn down the volume and it may effect the way they play. On the other hand, with the slight turn of a knob the DJ can adjust the volume to the right level within seconds.

No matter what your decision, the key is to be comfortable with the DJ or band that will be performing at your wedding. Talk to them well in advance. Let them know any special requests. Give them an indication of who and how many will be attending. Ask the DJ or band leader their opinion if you’re unsure about a music or sound issue… remember, they’re the experts.

There is a good selection of Columbus DJ’s and Bands to choose from. Talk, check references, ask questions and then relax and look forward to your big day.
