The Challenges with DJs and Bands

The common problems with DJs and Bands

We hear a number of common themes about DJs and bands from unsatisfied newlyweds. Among the most frequent complaints are:

DJs


  • Not playing requested tracks
  • Playing unwanted tracks
  • Not honoring guest requests
  • Inferior song mixing that doesn’t support the mood
  • Substandard sound systems
  • Heavy-handed, over-the-top emcees
  • Not collaborating with event management, photo/videography
  • Deficient backup plans should something go wrong
  • A lack of trustworthiness (e.g., no liability insurance nor written contracts)

Bands


  • Songs that stray from their original sound
  • Limited ability to honor requests at the wedding because they must rehearse unknown songs
  • Loud playing to match the volume of live drums
  • Taking too many breaks and playing recorded music
  • A “family” dynamic (e.g., arguing and eating expensive wedding entrees)
  • Treating your wedding as if it’s about them, not you

We've built a performance and service model to address these issues to ensure Auriary provides a fundamentally superior experience.
