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.
