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...
i couldnt agree more. i dont care how great of a band you are, it's impossible for you to be able to cover one genre and then bounce to another. i wanna have a variety of music, because chances are, with appox 150 guests, they will all like different music. thats the buety of a DJ.
at the same time... i know a lot of people like bands better. i'm not knocking the idea of a band... just giving my opinion. different strokes move the world

Re: bands
i think a band adds more to the wedding reception. to me live music is so much better than anything recorded and their rendition of a song could actually be better (or worse, lol depending on how u look at it) in a different way. a good band also gets more people up and into dancing from my experiences at parties/weddings. i just like the whole aura that a band and live music gives off if u know what i mean lol. it was one thing i wanted to splurge on (i chose it instead of having video - cuz i just didnt think that was necessary for my taste)

Re: bands
understood. but like i said... people are different. i have been a couple of weddings that had bands, and it was just weird. but at the same time... i have been to weddings that had bad DJs as well. lol. so i guess it all depends. i guess if i encountered a 'good band'... then perhaps my feelings would change.
but i'm also the guy that used to go to a bar/club (mulcahy's is a prime example)... and HATE when the band played... and couldnt wait for the DJ to play

Re: bands
exactly, everyone has different tastes. believe me, ive heard horrible bands and djs too lol. my cousin's wedding was a disaster, all the dj played was hard rock and no one danced. my dad asked them to play an oldies song that the whole family likes and their response was 'we dont do country' it wasnt even close to being a country song. and then there was the time i saw a band at a wedding and i think my ears were bleeding. it was sooo loud and they sounded horrible.

Re: bands
i'm not a fan of bands...there's just something weird about hearing a white guy or an old black man rapping jay-z...just doesnt sound right
i do love when bands do older music, think it sounds great but when it comes to today's music i just cant get past it
