Hello All:
Ceremony at Church - Reception at a different venue (both places are 5 mins apart)
I'm trying to decide how much time I will need the DJ for on the day of. I was thinking of having the DJ for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception totaling 6 hours. My planner mentioned that many people don't use a DJ for the cocktail hour and instead just use them only for the reception. She suggested to cut on costs and not have the DJ to transport equipment from one place to another. She mentioned we can have a playlist of songs playing through the sound at the church for the ceremony, plus we have a soloist who will sing 2 selections during the ceremony and we can just have the DJ play for the reception (4 hours).
Do many people opt out of having a DJ for all 3 (ceremony, cocktail hour and reception) and instead have the DJ for the reception only?
OR
Do people have the DJ play for ceremony and reception?
