Band Or Mobile Wedding DJ?: Questions For Planning

By Marissa Velazquez


An engagement is a big, important event in someone's life, and this goes double for the wedding itself. Sometimes the planning can be a lot of fun, but for some people it also creates a lot of stress. There are many questions that arise, including the number of people on the guest list, how to handle the food, and the eternal question: band or mobile wedding DJ?

Hire a wedding planner or plan the event yourself? There are a lot of things to consider when making this decision. If you have a large budget and plan on inviting a lot of people, it may make sense to hire someone to help out. However, if event planning is something you like to do, and you have the time to make the arrangements on your own, that might be the best decision. You could ask your friends to help, which could make the planning more fun.

How many people should I invite? Money is a big factor in deciding this question as well. It can get very complicated if you have a huge family but a limited budget. For a couple in this predicament, it might be a good idea to limit attendance to immediate family and very close friends.

Where should you have the ceremony and the reception? If you are religious, you may want to have the ceremony in a place of worship. Sometimes this costs money, as some churches and other religious buildings require that they people who get married there are members or undergo counseling before the ceremony. This is something to explore and consider. Cost is of course a factor, so you will want to check prices and find out which venues, churches, etc. Are available for a price that fits your budget.

Should you hire a professional caterer? This is an area where you can be creative and possibly cut costs. If your funds are limited, consider having a family member or a friend cater the reception. Another possibility is to serve a small menu and/or limit the alcohol to only beer or wine.

Who should you include in the wedding party? Many fights erupt over this question. If you envision hurt feelings and arguments over this issue, consider limiting your wedding party to one person for each member of the couple. Ask other friends and family members to help in different ways.

DJ or Band? This decision is influenced by the space in which the reception will take place, the type of music you prefer, and the kind of party you envision. Like everything else, it also concerns the budget.

If you are friends with someone who plays in a band or who is a mobile wedding dj, you may be able to cut a deal regarding the music for your ceremony. Like most things, planning a wedding is harder and more stressful when it is left to the last minute. Make sure that you begin your planning as soon as possibler. This way, you can remember the process of planning the event as fondly as you remember the event itself.
