In this world we cannot think a party without music. In every party there should be music by a live band or a DJ. DJ are more acceptable than music bands in parties because of expense and some other things. For a 3 or 4 hr party or reception a music band can coast from $1000 to $5000 but for a DJ it should be between $200 and $1000.The rate may vary depends on the band popularity or DJ reputation. The other thing is that bands cannot stay long time programs like DJ doing.

The other thing to notice is that if you are going for a music bands they can only perform in a specific order they have. They cannot make spontaneous changes in their programs, but in the case of DJ they can make any changes depends on the situations and DJ can also interact with the people who are in the party that makes party more enjoyable. DJ can include any special songs that you desire to include in the party. DJ can perform in any type of stages even it is a big stage or small stages but consider a reception occurring in a small place and the party hall is filled with music bands. So depends on the reception location you need to select the band or DJ.

The light and sound systems are the important thing that makes the party colorful and these makes the music also great. So check the bands or DJ light and sound systems they are using. Most of them will use the latest in their sound and light technologies. Depends on the type of party, party duration and the location of the party or reception decide whether you need a DJ or Band then make your party a memorable one.
