Wedding Music – How to Decide Between a Wedding Band Or DJ

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

In choosing your wedding music, you will inevitably debate whether to hire a band or a DJ to lead your wedding reception festivities. In some instances, the type of venue you choose and the overall theme of your wedding will dictate whether you decide to go with a band or DJ, but the decision is always up to you. In making your wedding music decision, consider the pros and cons of each:

WEDDING BAND

• The Pros

A band is live, and when played by experienced musicians, nothing can beat live music. Talented musicians can really work with the theme of your wedding reception and modify songs accordingly. If the party is lagging, they can always switch the tempo. Hiring a band also adds the exciting possibility that anything can happen.

• The Cons

With wedding bands charging anywhere from $1500-$15,000, budget constraints can make hiring a band too expensive to consider. A band’s sound can also be limiting. If you want to hear from Beethoven to Outkast and everything in-between at your wedding reception, you may have some difficulty in finding a band that can play such an eclectic mix.

DJ

• The Pros

One of the main benefits of hiring a DJ is that all the songs are played as you know them; you can rest assured that your first dance song will sound EXACTLY as you expect it to and can plan accordingly. You are also likely to get more variety in sound with a DJ, and for couples on a budget, even the most expensive DJs are usually cheaper than hiring a band.

• The Cons

On the other hand, a bad DJ can kill the elegant atmosphere you carefully planned for your wedding reception – so hire wisely! A DJ typically does not have as much ability to improvise and set the theme of the evening. The songs will be played exactly how they were originally recorded and therefore can’t be modified to suit a beach, country or jazz swing wedding (for example) as bands can often do. Your DJ also can’t switch tempo if need be to accommodate your fiance’s dragging feet during your first dance.

Trying to Decide on a Wedding Cake?

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

So you are getting married? There is a laundry list of items to get started on. Who will be your photographer, what dress do you want, where will you honeymoon, the list goes on. These are all exciting new things think about before you and your fianc?alk down the sacred aisle and make promises to one another.

When choosing certain items for one’s wedding, many people like to stick to the traditional methods. This is completely fine. The wedding turns out beautiful, people know what to expect and the wedding ceremony commences forward. But for those of you out there who would really like to add some special, unique individual touches to your wedding new ideas abound.

One such idea would be thinking about a different type of wedding cake. Instead of the traditional multi-tiered cake, why not opt for a non-traditional version: the cupcake. More and more people are asking for cupcakes these days! Oh, you say, but this will make them commonplace again. If everyone is starting to do this, what will help keep it staying a unique new wedding experience enhancer?

This is a great question and the answer is that, there are many ways! Cupcakes can have a broader scope of design or utility to offer. For example, one can have them decorated all the same with a special design of one’s choosing. One can decide to decorate each cupcake individually as well. If one decides to put the cupcakes on each guest table, one can make a cupcake for each guest, with each guest’s name specially written on top! Or why not put the bride and groom’s name on the cupcakes! If one decides to have the cupcakes on the guest’s table, one can even have them made in individually decorated take home boxes. This can make the wedding cake process easier and more manageable, especially for those who know their wedding list is large. Many people dread the cake segment of a wedding because they often have to wait in a long line to finally get a piece of the dessert, taking a large amount of time out of the celebratory festivities. With cupcakes that are placed on the table and put in individual boxes the guest has their dessert right on the table and they have the option to enjoy it now or save it for later! And who doesn’t like or appreciate choices?! In addition, it is a great crowd pleaser for children, who for some reason hold a special affinity for such treats. Maybe it’s because they are just the right size and seem specially made for their tiny hands.

The wedding cake can be more than just a nice “piece” of the wedding that people expect. It can be a special, creative way to celebrate the event. Of course there are many options with regard to the traditional cake as well, as far as decorating and appearance; the cupcake simply adds another added option of diversity to the experience as a whole.
