How can my Wedding benefit from a DJ vs an iPod or band?
What a great question. Here are some statistics that may surprise you:
*AFTER THE VOWS...
- 72% of all brides say they would have spent more time choosing their reception entertainment.
- Almost 100% say they would have spent more of their budget on the entertainment.
- During Wedding planning, brides say their highest priority is their attire, followed by the reception site. Entertainment is among the least of their priorities. Within one week after their reception, 78% of brides say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority!
- When asked, 81% of guests say the thing they remember most about a Wedding is the entertainment.
- 65% of couples that chose a band to entertain at their Wedding said, if they had it to do over again they would have chosen a DJ.
These are the facts and this is what Brides & Grooms consistently tell me after their own Weddings. Their guests remember the entertainment as much if not more than anything else.
And keep in mind:
**No band or iPod can ever coordinate, direct, and MC your Wedding**
