N'Sync or P.Diddy?

Life is full of simple choices. Boxers or briefs? Regular or supersize? Band or DJ? Unfortunately, they can have some complicated outcomes. Boxers can chafe, while briefs can constrict. Regular size may leave you hungry, while supersize may leave you sick. And a band or a dj... well, lets find out.



Band
Pros
• Can cater to certain themes you may be trying to pull off.
• The right band can read the feel of the room and adjust tempo to get everyone out on the dance floor.
• Nothing beats live music.

Cons
• Typically more expensive than a DJ.
• Bands often only know a limited number of songs.
• Certain bands only have expertise in one particular style of music.
• When the band goes on break (usually once every two hours), the mood can suffer.
• The possibility of your favorite song being butchered on your wedding day.
• All of the band members will need to be served dinner (which can take a chunk out of the budget).

DJ
Pros
• Requested songs are the real thing, not sung by an imitator.
• Larger song selection than a band.
• Less chance of hearing songs you don’t know.
• A DJ with the right balance of seriousness and humor can be really entertaining. While music is playing, he can be out on the dance floor, getting everyone fired up.
• Traditionally cheaper than a band.
• No breaks in the music.

Cons
• The ham-it-up factor: a non-funny, loud, and obnoxious DJ can be a turnoff to guests.
• The chance of equipment failure.

A Poor Man's Entertainment Option = Both?
Having both is becoming a popular thing nowadays - and you don't have to break open the piggy bank to do it. With the option of a laptop with a playing device and a PA system (most wedding sites have them so you can make a toast or something), you can just plug and chug. And to make it more memorable - get one of your buddies to sing a song to you with your friends.

If you'd like to hire P. Diddy, though, he might be available...
