I did have a dj, but depends on what type of eparty you do. Ive attended e-parties that were just dinner or lunch with no dj and it was fine. Just depends on your vision for the party.

If you are having your E-party at a hall, I would suggest a DJ. If you have already booked a DJ for your wedding, maybe they can give you a good deal.
We had our E-party out FH's parents house. (BBQ). FFIL & FBIL have a band so we hooked up an IPod to a speaker and downloaded like a million songs. It was perfect. We had so much fun.

I had a brunch at my dad's country club. I just made a few mixed cd's for background music. There wasn't any dancing or anything, but it seemed like everyone had a really good time.

oh then i wouldnt even worry. If its a sit down lunch at a restaurant i dont think you need a dj. Background music is fine.

there will not be a DJ at my brunch but the restaurant has 'MUZAK' so I will choose a station to play during the party.

Re: x-post: e-party question
My engagement party was a sit-down lunch on a Sunday afternoon. I didn't have music at my party, and looking back on it, I really wish I did. We actually tried hooking up our cd player and speakers, but the speakers didn't carry very far.
If I could do it over again, I'd probably hire a pianist to have some background music rather than a DJ.

We did not have a DJ for our e-party because it was an afternoon luncheon and I didn't want it to be like a wedding. We had over 100 people and they all mingled and talked. We hooked up our Ipod to thespeaker system at the places and just had background music. It was fantastic

Re: x-post: e-party question
I did have a DJ. I think it depends on the setting. Some people have engagment brunches or dinners which are just a sit down meal with less people, and then a DJ isnt neccasary. But if it is a big party then a DJ is a great idea
