Creating the right mood at your reception is an essential step to ensure that people have fun. You want to bring them at such a level of satisfaction that they will remember your wedding forever and a day. You have to options: hiring a wedding DJ or hiring a music band. You are already wondering which would be best for the type of person you are but you also worry for your guests as their mood will be your satisfaction. You have to consider what will be best for your dear grandmothers and aunts and so on. Big decision.

There are advantages and disadvantages on both sides, of course. By hiring a DJ you can be pretty sure that you have where to choose from as most of Djs have thousands of songs on their playlists, from each decade and genre of music. You can imagine guests coming to make requests but you should have no fear that the requests result in a bad choice on the dancing ring. A professional DJ will know what requests to play, when to play them and what requests to forget about. His decisions are of course, supported by the fact that he has had a previous meeting with you before the reception and it was then that you established what type of music you want for your wedding. A big disadvantage for choosing a DJ can be the DJ himself, if he is not well-chosen - we like to think of him as being a professional but in fact he could get bored by this routine sometimes, beware of that.

But how about the wedding band (hochzeitsband)? Those who appreciate good music will all agree that there is nothing like live music: the quality of sound, the special mood they can get into and convey it to you, all that magic can make your day very special. Music bands used to have a bad reputation but at present music bands come in all sizes and genres: cover band, jazz band, Salsa band, Mariachi bands and many more. You may choose the size of the band according to your budget, guests, location - that could range from one person to a full orchestra. You should also consider that the band can change its rhythm according to guests' moods. Among the disadvantages of a band we can count its costs sometimes - some orchestras charge very big sums that not everybody can afford. You have got to make sure also that you have chosen the right band for you as not all bands can be responsive to change according to your mood. Musicians have to have some breaks and meanwhile try to figure a way to enlighten the spirits as a CD will not be as great in comparison with the live music.

No matter what you choose between a wedding DJ ( hochzeits dj [http://www.zakkaevents.de/] ) and a band you would better go and see them performing at some receptions(not necessarily at weddings, could be in a club for instance) and it is only then that you can decide more easily if they are right for you or not.
