DJ vs Jukebox for your party

These points might help you make a decision between hiring a DJ or a jukebox for your party:

By having a DJ:

• you instantly get that party ‘feel’ simply by just having the DJ and the DJ set-up, creating a great atmosphere
• you and your guests can interact with the DJ and request all of your favourite songs, as well as have the DJ respond to and ‘read your crowd’ to keep the dance-floor full
• the music will be seamless, that is, no pauses between songs, unlike the jukebox
• it may cost a little more than having a jukebox

If you decide to have a jukebox:

• it takes interaction from your guests: this can be fun, but if no-one chooses any songs, then none will be played. Alternatively, you can pre-select all of the songs to be played beforehand, but you do run the risk of nobody else enjoying your selections. On the flipside, if lots of your guests are selecting the same song/s, you could end up with these being played repeatedly throughout the night
• this may be a cheaper option than a DJ
