need to discuss this with the Band Manager or
DJ...if a Live Band to make sure they have the

with the song. If specific songs are

Q. What
is better...a live band or DJ?-- Isle of Palms,
SC
|
| A. It
depends on your and your groom's style.
Many people like live bands because the sound
quality and adaptability. They can speed
up songs, and can change instruments and have
vocal solos depending on the mood of your
guests. BUT Live Bands are
expensive. However, with a DJ, with a
young crowd, he/she can play popular dance music
they way it sounds on the radio. Mix it up and
get a lot of people dancing. It
really depends on you and your groom and the
atmosphere that you want at your reception. |

Q. Can
I tell the band how I want them to
dress?--Chester, SC
|
| A. First,
you should be able to tell the musician's stage
presence from seeing them perform. Make
sure you see them...ask them if you could come
see them somewhere--they should not mind)
They normally dress and act the part of the kind
of style band they are. Discuss you needs
with the band manager. I am sure they are
willing to help make your day special. |

Q. Who
provides the sound system for the
reception?--Bennettsville, SC
|
| A. Depends.
You need to first ask your Band Manager/DJ if
they have their own. If yes, then make
sure it is compatible with the reception
facility. If they do not have their own
sound system, then see if the facility
does. There maybe an extra charge for
this. If you are having a reception
outdoors or at an unusual site, you will need to
rent it yourself. |
