Key Takeaways
- Wedding DJs are ideal for flexible playlists and a full evening reception.
- Live bands can create a stronger live atmosphere for the main evening party.

- DJ and sax packages combine recorded music with a live performance element.

What Type of Wedding Entertainment Do You Need?
The right choice depends on your venue, guest numbers, budget and the type of atmosphere you want to create.
You do not necessarily have to choose just one option either. Many couples combine live music earlier in the
day with a DJ for the evening reception.
Wedding DJs
A professional wedding DJ can handle the first dance, evening reception and requests from different generations
of guests. Some DJs also provide lighting, microphones and other sound equipment as part of their package.
Live Wedding Bands
Wedding and function bands can bring a different energy to the evening. Styles can range from modern pop
and rock to folk, traditional music and well-known party favourites.
Some bands can also provide recorded music or a DJ service between sets, so check what is included before
arranging a separate DJ.
Acoustic Singers & Musicians
Acoustic singers, guitarists, duos and other musicians can work particularly well during the ceremony,
drinks reception or meal when you want music without creating a full evening-party atmosphere.
DJ & Sax Packages
A DJ and sax package combines a traditional DJ setup with live saxophone performances during selected
parts of the evening. It can be a useful middle ground for couples who want both a DJ and a live-performance element.
DJ, Band or Acoustic Act?
| Option | Best For | Main Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Wedding DJ | Evening reception | Wide choice of music |
| Live Band | Main evening party | Live atmosphere |
| Acoustic Act | Ceremony or drinks reception | Relaxed live music |
| DJ & Sax | Evening reception | DJ flexibility plus live element |
