Why a disc jockey instead of live entertainment?
I never discourage anyone from hiring a band. A good wedding band – like the Outer Banks group The Crowd – brings a certain energy than can’t necessarily be generated by recorded music played by a DJ. But quality disc jockeys have a wide range of sounds – usually 7,000 to 10,000 songs – the ability to read the audience to find the right groove and the skills to keep the party going. Professional, experienced DJs also can act as the MC, to do introductions, make announcements, etc.
