If you're looking for DJs and entertainment in Austin, Texas, you've come to the right place. With the number of talented Austinites, it's no wonder Austin is referred to as "The Live Music Capital of the World." The only hard part about finding the right live bands for your wedding music is deciding to choose just one!

Between the South by Southwest music festival, the Austin Reggae Festival, and the number of other music festivals Austin hosts throughout the year, chances are you'll be exposed to a wide variety of entertainment styles. It's up to you whether you want to hire live musical entertainment or DJs, but keep in mind that the style of music has a great impact on the tone of your event. Loud music will keep your guests dancing, whereas soft music will allow them to converse.

When hiring DJs or bands, ask what equipment they plan to bring. If you have a crowded venue, your entertainment options may be limited. Similarly, outdoor Austin events may want to choose acoustic bands over DJs, if electricity will be a problem.

Speak with DJs and other Austin entertainment specialists before the event to make sure you're on the same page about what songs to play. DJs should be willing to take suggestions and avoid your "do not play" list, but they should also be able to read the mood of the crowd and play songs that seem appropriate at the time. If you're planning wedding entertainment that might be unsuitable for guests with small kids or with lyrics that would offend your grandparents, ask DJs to skew this towards the late-night portion of the evening.
