Booking both band and DJ
If I book a band do I also need to book a DJ?
This is very much a personal choice. Nearly all bands provide recorded music during their breaks, but an iPod or compilation CD cannot mix tracks on the fly, play requests and respond to an audience like a DJ! On the other hand, it is worth bearing in mind that in our experience guests are usually not in the mood to start dancing until 8.30 or 9.00 pm, or even later if it's a summer evening. So where the music has to finish by midnight, a DJ will probably only be required to provide an hour or so of music for dancing, and may not be worth paying the extra for.
