Live band, DJ, or DIY playlist?

Depends on the budget and vibe! My wedding was black tie in a very formal ballroom, so anything other than a live band would’ve felt off for me.
DJs totally bring the party too!
Unless it’s a very informal wedding, I’d avoid a playlist if budget allows.

DJ definitely - you have someone making sure the music matches the vibe for that moment, and it’s way less expensive than a band

This is personal preference and who/what is available where you live. Doing live band with playlist for breaks. Factor in lighting etc when comparing prices.

Did a DJ and loved it.

I grew up poor and was obsessed w financial security. After investing my blood, sweat and tears into my career for years, I’ve decided I don’t care about my career or earnings as long as I have enough to support my family. We are happier than ever making less and saving little. I wasn’t there when my mom was sick and died because I was working and my employer didn’t allow me to be in a mental headspace to be a good person for my family. I can never change that but I can be better going forward.
