Opinions about DJ/Band Combo for Reception

I've seen a couple of vendor sites offering DJ/Band combo.

Anyone had or been to a wedding with this type of music combo?

Bravura does this. Many DJ companies also offer percusionists to play with the DJs music. I think I may go with a Percussionist and Sax player. FM Entertainment, Get in Tune, and Spin Around Sound all offer this. I'm sure there are others but these are the ones I met with and liked alot.

Re: Opinions about DJ/Band Combo for Reception

Actually I just booked the '70's Experience' They are a full 8 piece band. When I went to book them, they come with a DJ. The DJ plays when the band can't do that song, or when a band takes breaks. The DJ also does the introductions. I thought it was a great idea. In my opion, i really wanted to band the dj was just an extra. I know that some of these other companies are really dj's that offer a keyboard player, or sax player, or trumpet. To me its not a real band. FM me if you want some more info
