— Attend a performance. In addition to seeking recommendations, couples can see entertainers in action and form their own opinions. Many DJs and bands that perform at weddings also ply their trade elsewhere, including at bars, clubs, community events, etc. If couples are intrigued by a band or DJ as a wedding reception entertainment option, they can arrange to see them perform. Pay attention to their catalog, performance style and how they interact with the crowd during their show.
— Consider the crowd. The guest list and number of invitees also merit consideration when choosing entertainment for the reception. Conventional wisdom suggests bands tend to suit smaller affairs better than DJs, who may be accustomed to playing loud dance music for bigger crowds. In such cases, a booming dance playlist with a sparsely populated dance floor may not establish the vibe couples are going for. Live bands may provide a greater sense of intimacy, which can work better with a smaller crowd. It’ s also beneficial to consider musical style before choosing entertainment. A band or DJ that can incorporate a wide range of musical eras and genres is ideal for a wedding reception, where guests will include the very young and the elderly.
Finding the right entertainment for a wedding reception is a fun component of wedding planning. The right choice of entertainment can make for a particularly festive wedding night.
