The Wedding Band vs Wedding DJ conundrum

[Gooch]

Bands suck. It's not a concert. You want different types of music. Some oldies some new, some fast, some slow. The point is, you want variety. And every song a band sings sounds exactly the same. Even with two singers like most of them have, there just isn't enough variety.

Just make sure the DJ shuts up and plays music, and you should be fine.

Have a "banned" list and a "mandatory" list for songs, and then you'll be all set.

Good suggestion...when you put it that way it makes a lot of sense. Thats my fiance's philosophy as well. We are looking at a few NYC DJs who do just that, and actually sell themselves as being the opposite mentality than the party-hardy blend.
