I am not doing it because there are a lot of songs I just want to hear by the original artist. I can't see myself out there dancing to a cover of billie jean by MJ, but some people like it! I say check out a few diff bands see how they sound and then decide what you want to do...

You're so lucky! I would love to book a band, but we can't fit it into the budget.

Yeah last year at the LIWeddings showcase they had a GREAT band... I wouldve loved to be able to book them but the $$$ was just to much...

Yes we are actually going to see the band we know we are going to book tomorrow night! I like also hearing/dancing to original songs as well but you can bring and make your own cd and do it so it can be in between the bands songs.

When we used to have our Christmas party for work ( due to economy that was scratched this year) they always had a band and it never is the same as the real song plus way too expensive.

A band called x-session. My parents, FH and I have watched them play for a few years now and love them! Lets hope everything works out tonight.

FHs only request was that we have a band. in his opinion i had a dj at my sweet 16 & this is not a sweet 16. so i told him that if he wanted the band he has to do the looking & he has to contribute to the cost.

we have been to 3 weddings that had bands (one which probally costs more then my entire wedding will cost) & 1 wedding that had a dj. to me it doesn't really matter, but FH is very picky about music.

my fh was the exact same way....his only request for this entire wedding was he wanted a band....he doesn't like dj's because he feels like he is at a sweet16, exactly how your fh put it..

overall i think its a matter of personal taste.

by the time our wedding comes around we will be together for 10 years. we both only plan on getting married once so i think a band is a good thing to splurge on.
