There’s no denying that great music will be one of the main highlights of your wedding day, and your guests will look forward to it. Whether you’re looking for a soothing harp soloist for melodic ceremony music or a high-energy five-piece rock band for your reception, you can tailor your wedding music entirely to your tastes. Why not mix it up and have both a DJ and a band play at your reception?

Hiring a DJ for Your Wedding

A DJ is the perfect choice for your wedding if you want to keep your friends and family on the dance floor all night long. Your DJ will likely create a playlist of anywhere from 45-75+ songs, seamlessly blending genres and decades of music. You can also always hand them a list of you and your other half’s favourite songs (and your least favourite) to keep the tunes personal.

Hiring a Wedding Band

While a wedding band is typically more expensive than a wedding DJ in the UK, they can be a fantastic addition to your reception. Your band will deliver a live music experience with skilled musicianship and enthusiastic performances. If you chat with them before your special day about a setlist, they’ll likely be happy to learn some of your favourite tunes as well.

Other Wedding Musicians You Can Hire

There’s really no limit to the various styles of music you can have at your wedding - it’s your day, and there are musicians for all tastes. Bring out a soloist to croon softly as you enjoy a drinks reception, or have a jazz band with saxophones and trumpets play as you walk down the aisle. Hitched is perfect for matching you with premier wedding musicians, singers, bands, and DJs in your area, and it’s always worth checking out an artist’s performances on Instagram or other social media sites.
