DJ if you want flexibility — the ability to play any song from any era, smooth transitions, and a wider repertoire for a mixed-age crowd. Band if you want the energy of live performance and have the budget. Perry Township bands run $2,500 to $5,000 for a 3-4 piece, $4,000 to $8,000 for 6+ pieces. Many couples hire both — DJ for cocktail hour and dancing, band for two key sets.

Book 9 to 12 months out for a peak-season Saturday DJ; 12 to 15 months for a top-tier band. The best DJs and bands in Perry Township are repeat referrals — they book their next season largely from current-season weddings. If you have a specific DJ in mind, reach out as soon as you have a venue and date.

A professional Perry Township wedding DJ handles MC duties (introductions, announcements), reads the crowd to keep the floor moving, coordinates timing with the venue and photographer, runs ceremony music if needed, and provides backup sound. The price difference between a $700 DJ and a $2,000 DJ is usually MC quality, equipment, and experience handling 100+ weddings.

Standard practice in Perry Township is yes — vendor meals for the DJ, band, photographer, and videographer. Most caterers offer a vendor meal at $20 to $35 per person, simpler than guest meals but still hot food. It's in your contract. Skipping it is poor form and can leave a five-piece band hungry during the reception, which affects performance.
