Choosing the entertainment for your wedding is a consideration which cannot be taken lightly. Should you hire a DJ or one of the many wedding bands for hire? Hiring a DJ has the advantage that you can choose exactly what they can and can’t play. They are often much less expensive than a live band for hire or a wedding singer, however it’s just as important to vet them prior to booking as some DJ’s have a habit of talking too much and getting in the way of the music they’re playing. Also, since the bedroom DJ boom of the 1990′s, you don’t want a DJ who spend the evening demonstrating their scratching and mixing prowess. Believe me, the older guests just won’t get it, no matter how good they are. What you need is a bog standard DJ who doesn’t talk too much and sticks to your play list.wedding entertainment ScotlandThere are also a wide range of wedding singers and bands for hire which also have a wide range of abilities (i.e. some are better than others). If you are hiring a live band or vocalist, make sure you hear them perform live before you book them as they could make your wedding reception memorable for all the wrong reasons. One thing you might want to break away from is the type of wedding music bands tend to play; often being an endless string of love songs and ballads we’ve all heard hundreds of times before. Instead you could opt for a band which performs a mixture of classic pop songs and some original material too. Booking a band and a DJ is a popular choice as it gives a little more variety than just one or the other.Remember that your wedding reception is supposed to entertain your guests, not overwhelm them. A good band for hire shouldn’t perform at a volume which makes it hard for those not dancing to hold a conversation. Also they need to play music which encourages your guests to get up and dance; so if you’re thinking of hiring a Pink Floyd tribute band to perform at your wedding, don’t! There’s a reason why wedding bands have a tendency to perform largely mainstream pop and that’s because it pleases most of the people most of the time. Even if you’re not a fan of pop music, it’s worth sticking with the tried and tested wedding music bands usually perform at wedding receptions. You may consider it tired and testing, but I call it tried and tested for good reason, because it works.For more information please visit “wedding entertainment Glasgow” lvak
