In this episode of The Well Designed Wedding, we’re diving into one of the most debated questions in wedding planning: Should you hire a band or a DJ? I’m breaking down the pros and cons of each, helping you understand how each option shapes the mood, energy, and flow of your celebration—and why your music choices matter more than most people realize.

We explore everything from the elegant, immersive experience of live bands to the versatility and continuous energy a great DJ can bring. I also share tips on how to blend the two for a layered experience that evolves throughout the evening and keeps guests of all ages engaged. Whether you’re dreaming of a high-impact performance or nonstop dancing, you’ll leave with clarity on what works best for your vision, venue, and budget.

If you’re unsure which direction to go, this episode will help you define what entertainment style truly fits your celebration—and how to create a soundtrack that leaves your guests talking about your wedding for years to come.
