Live band or DJ? Why not both.

It's one of the first music questions most couples ask: do we book a live band or a DJ? Our answer is simple. You don't have to choose.

Band or DJ: the honest version

Both have their strengths. Here's how they compare.

The best weddings we play have both: a live band for the big moments, and music filling every gap in between.

How our DJ service works

Our DJ service is an unmanned playlist, played through our own PA and lights. It runs:

• Before we play, while your evening guests arrive.
• During our break, so the dancefloor never goes quiet.
• After our last song, right through until we pack down.

You can give us your own playlist if you like. Otherwise we'll keep it in the spirit of the night.

Why having both from us works

We do this at all our events, and it makes a real difference, both to you and to us.

For you

• You save money, because you're not paying for a separate DJ.
• Everything is provided by us: one booking, one set-up and one point of contact on the day.

For the band, which means a better night for you

• No sharing space. We're not squeezing in around a DJ's kit, so we have a proper stage.
• No song clashes. No DJ playing Mr Brightside an hour before we do.
• No timing clashes. No awkward handovers or two suppliers working to two different schedules.

Already booked a DJ?

That's fine too. Just tell us when you enquire, and make sure the DJ and the band know the running order, who's using which space, and roughly what each will be playing, so nobody steps on anyone's toes.
