The mix of live music and a DJ versus a band that sticks to a set list can make for a more versatile performance and allows the artists to better read the room, providing an experience personalized to the guests at your event.By hiring a DJ/instrument combo, you have less logistics, more bang for your buck, greater return on investment, and fewer techs and sound engineers as the instrument plugs directly into the DJ gear. This can be especially helpful when booking at smaller venues.
