Next, it’s off to be greeted by all who have come together for your wedding day.  Don’t be surprised to receive an enthusiastic congratulations as your Disc Jockey / Master of Ceremonies welcomes you... They are about to have the pleasure of announcing your Grand Entrance, one of the things we enjoy the most!!  And for the next few hours, it will be their job to lead the festivities, play the music that is important to you and your guests, and keep the reception running smoothly.  Music is in fact, one of the most important and memorable parts of a reception. Weeks or months later,  reception guests seldom remember the meal, but always remember if the entertainers have done a great job!!

• Price: Bands, even smaller ones, usually cost twice as much, or more, than a Disc Jockey would.  At Amazing Sounds, your DJ/MC is a Team of 2 people and we don't charge extra.
• Quality: DJ's play the ORIGINAL Music, the way everyone knows it.  Bands may play the same songs, but they probably won't be as recognizable to you and your guests and if they don't practice regularly, they may not sound good at all.  DJ's don't have to practice their music, it's from the original artist!
• Quantity: DJ's have THOUSANDS of songs available with a very wide variety of music types, bands usually know how to play less than 100 and the variety is usually limited.  Remember, you want ALL your guests, young AND old to have a good time.
• Requests: DJ's can accomodate requests from you and your guests most of the time.  Most bands don't take requests, except in advance, and cannot play them if they don't know the song.
• Versatility: DJ's can play the music for your Ceremony, Cocktails, Dinner AND Dancing, including those special songs you want to hear.  They can also MC events, like Cake Cutting, right at the table using wireless microphones.  Bands have to learn those special songs and rarely go out into the audience.
• Availability: Bands take breaks, usually 15 minutes every hour which means you may lose some guests before all the important events are done.  Our DJ's make sure the music never stops, so your guests can keep dancing all night long and we mix in the events throughout your reception.
• Non-Stop Music:  DJ's play music non-stop, usually 'mixing' from one song to the next.  Bands end each song, then pause while they decide which song to play next.  This 'breaks up' the dancing after every song.
• Loudness:  Our DJ's periodically check the sound levels, from the audiences perspective, so the music is never too loud or too quiet.  Bands usually end up playing too loud because they cannot perform 'in-the-audience' checks because they must stay onstage.
