let's get this party started

today we booked the next-to-last "big" item on our wedding list: the reception music/entertainment!  we've known from the get-go that we wanted our reception to be one big dance party for everyone, all the way up to the grandparents, so this was a very important part of the decision-making process for us.  fortunately, it was also very easy.

i've found that people feel very strongly one way or another about a band versus a DJ.  we both felt strongly about what we wanted and fortunately we both wanted the same thing, which is why it was an easy decision.  once we knew what we were looking for, it was just a matter of checking reviews, references, and pricing and we were all set.  before i reveal what our choice is, i'm curious...


are you a band fan?


or a DJ devotee?

do tell! i can't wait to hear your answers...

We had a band, and they added the perfect feel to the night! And they were SUCH fun - everyone was on the dance floor the entire evening. Oh, how I want to do it again...

I like bands as long as they play a huge variety. The only problem is that bands can get kind of expensive.

The wedding I was in back in October had a DJ, and the DJ was a ton of fun, too!

DJ for me! We still get compliments on our DJ and 4 of our friends have used him since our wedding.

I like DJs. I don't mind a bit of live entertainment (say during the cocktail hour or when everyone is sitting and eating) but I like a DJ for dancing. Of course, that's just a personal opinion.

We definitely just used a friend, an ipod, and a sound system :)
