Helping you choose the perfect soundtrack for your big day
When it comes to planning your wedding, one of the biggest decisions is the music. Do you hire a live band, a DJ, or both? If you're getting married in the Tampa Bay area, here’s how to choose the best fit for your vibe, budget, and party goals.
The Case for a Wedding Band
Live energy: There's nothing like live instruments and vocals to get guests on their feet.
Personality: A band brings style, spontaneity, and a human touch.
Customization: Want a slow version of your favorite song for your first dance? We’ve got you. (See our list of top first dance songs for 2025 weddings)
The Case for a DJ
Total variety: Any song, any genre, any time.
Compact setup: Great for smaller venues or tight floorplans.
Budget-friendly: Usually less expensive than a full band.
Why Not Both?
With Swipe Right, we offer hybrid packages:
Live music for big moments (ceremony, first dance, reception)
DJ-style playlists for breaks or late-night dance sets
It’s the perfect balance of energy and flexibility.
