Make your wedding party a smashing success with the best music there is. The right music on this important day sets the mood for the occasion and ensures that you and your guests have a great time. When planning a wedding, this music dilemma often crops up: live band or DJ? What’s the better choice: the exciting energy exuded by a live band or the wide-ranging, all-original songs in a popular DJ’s playlist? It’s a tough decision to make, and one that you must carefully weigh. Here are some important points to consider when looking to hire either a live band or a DJ:
Live Band
With its seasoned musicians, vocalists and instruments, a live band will likely have more impact than a DJ. Having a live band is a traditional choice. Your wedding day is bound to be emotional. What’s more emotional than the soundtrack of your life being played live? And there’s simply nothing else like live music to get everyone excited for an afternoon or evening of dancing. Guests who are not inclined to dance will still enjoy watching the live entertainment.

They are one of the most sought-after wedding bands all over Singapore, cutting across genres and languages while making sure your perfect day has an unforgettable soundtrack!

A Little Dream Live Music
A Little Dream Live Music is a band that will help you realise your dream of having access to live music at your wedding. They bring together experienced and passionate musicians in order to provide a one-stop service for couples, from providing lyrics on a song sheet, playing instruments during practice sessions with friends and family members who may need accompaniment at their wedding ceremony as well as those looking for backing tracks after mastering guitar chords by themselves. They create a memorable experience with you on your most special day!
DJ
More than just being the person who plays all your favourite songs, the professional wedding DJ is the glue that holds your party together. A good DJ knows how to sense the mood to get the party started and keep it going. He needs to have a wide-ranging music collection that will allow him to create a custom playlist for your happy occasion. This playlist includes your own favourites as a couple and songs from different eras and genres that your guests will also enjoy. Choosing a DJ is relatively simpler compared to a band; you have to deal with only one person. You get to hear your favourite songs as performed by the original artists, and the DJ’s musical repertoire is wider than that of a band, which is usually limited by its preferred music style.

So how do you know whether to hire a DJ or a live band? While hiring a DJ is generally more affordable than a live band, a DJ simply can’t match the drama and energy of a band’s live performance. In deciding to hire either a DJ or a live band, consider your personal taste, your guests’ preferences, your budget, and the available space in your venue for a DJ or band to perform. To find the right one, ask to see videos of past wedding performances of prospective bands and DJs. Either way, choose one with a reputation for providing quality music and for ensuring that guests have a fun and memorable time.
