THE ENTERTAINMENT VALUES OF LIVE MUSIC
When looking for special event entertainment, many people today are pleasantly surprised to find that live music is more affordable then they might have initially thought.
The myth that DJ entertainment is always less expensive than live entertainment just doesn't hold true anymore. While live entertainment costs have held steady or even slightly declined over the past several years, there has been a fairly steady rise in the costs for DJ entertainment. It is true that with a DJ you will normally have less people to pay, but with the introduction of more elaborate sound systems, DJ teams, dancers, giveaway gimmicks and light shows, many DJs offer packages which are more expensive then hiring live musicians.
Most importantly, there is a fundamental reason that DJs have had to improve their offerings and consequently increase their overall cost. DJ entertainment simply does not carry the overall 'entertainment value' of a live musical performance.
This is an often overlooked but important point to consider when planning a special event. Here's why: At any special event, inevitably, your guests will be comprised of a 'mixed crowd' varying in, among other things, age, ethnicity, background as well as their desire to be reserved or outgoing. For some guests the music will spawn activity and they will spend the majority of their time on the dance floor. For others, who might have less of a desire to dance, live music provides an equally enjoyable concert or lounge-type atmosphere. The bottom line is that live entertainment is both a participatory activity and a spectator sport all rolled into one.
This is the unequalled 'entertainment value' of live music. It is clearly demonstrated by the millions of people who attend concerts, symphonies, outdoor festivals, jazz clubs, night clubs to hear live entertainers perform each year. There is an inherent power and energy in live entertainment that captivates and appeals to the audience.
So, when planning for your next event, be sure to check the prices and think about the overall 'entertainment value' you want to give your guests. Live entertainment is sure to make your special event a more memorable and satisfying experience for your guests.
