Many people like having live bands for their reception but others opt for a DJ. Wedding entertainment is a big part of the reception so you should put some research into it before choosing the type you want to use. Once you decide whether to go with a band or a DJ you then have to find one that plays the type of music you want played during your reception.
There is a lot of different music to choose from so you need to choose a style of music to be played then you have to decide how much money you want to spend on entertainment. When you set your budget you then have to find DJs and bands who will fit into your budget, then you need them to play for you.
You want to hear them play before you hire them because you never want to go by word of mouth. Some one may tell you this band is great and do not cost much and then you hire them without hearing them play and you could be quite upset and disappointed when they start playing at your reception.
If you don't know how to find performers for a wedding you can always hire someone that does it for a living. If you do decide to hire someone to find the performers you need to be sure they know exactly what you are want in a band or DJ. Let them know that once they find a few prospects that you would like to hear them play before you hire them.
This will save a lot of time because it keeps you from having to audition a lot of different performers. You will only have to audition the ones that the person you hired have already auditioned. You will not be able to fit a huge band into a small space so it is important that you consider the size of your venue. If the venue is small it may be best to either go with a DJ or a single singer with no band. You just need to be sure there is enough room for the person or people you hire.
It is also important that you check with the venue to see if they have a license for entertainment. This is very important because without a license you will not be able to have performers in the venue where your reception will be held. Once you are certain you can have performers at the venue you can look into other type of entertainment such as hiring dancers to entertain the guest while they eat and mingle.
You could hire salsa dancers, belly dancers, or ballroom dancers. All of your guest will enjoy watching professional dancers while they are enjoying their meal. You could also consider hiring a celebrity impersonator to sing or just walk around taking photos with guest. This is a unique type of entertainment that your guest will enjoy and remember for quite a while.
You should just keep in mind that this is your day and you hire the performer that you like. If you want dancers then hire dancers and do not worry that it is not what you would normally see at a reception. Hire an impersonator if you want. Just do what you would enjoy and what you think your guest will enjoy.
