Your next task could be to book the band &#8230; or the DJ &#8230; or the band &#8230; or the DJ. Deciding on the type of entertainment to have at your wedding can be a tricky business with wedding DJs and <a title=\"wedding music\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingMusic\/\">weddings bands<\/a> achieving almost equal popularity.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5612\" alt=\"live band\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.easyweddings.com\/files\/2021\/10\/28181034\/78777865-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Three reasons for hiring a live wedding band<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The most obvious reason for hiring a wedding band is the energy and atmosphere that they can bring to your wedding reception. Nothing gets the heart racing and the blood pumping like live music, and a live performance will always be more exciting than pre-recorded music. If you are having a themed wedding, finding a band that encompasses that theme and makes it come to life can bring the whole day together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The second pro of hiring a wedding band is the visual impact it will have on your wedding, It will give your guests something to watch and will provide a focal point for your reception. A DJ may bring a light show, but that doesn&#8217;t usually compare to watching musicians perform in from of your eyes. Most bands dress up and put on a great performance in addition to the actual music. If you want them to wear something specific that complements your theme you can always ask.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5613\" alt=\"live band\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.easyweddings.com\/files\/2021\/10\/28180949\/480121777.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The final reason for hiring a wedding band is that it can help to provide a structure for your reception. Once a DJ starts their set, it usually continues to the end of the night with breaks being hidden by a compilation CD, but the beginning and end of your band&#8217;s sets will be much more obvious. Try having one set and then the cake cutting, another set and then the bouquet toss, and then a final set followed by your grand departure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3250,"template":"","au_article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-32212","au-article","type-au-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","au_article_category-weddingmusic"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/32212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/32212\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_article_tag?post=32212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
