Since I was a drummer for 20 years before becoming a DJ in Orange County for the past 9 years I think I can offer a objective perspective.
A quality live band provides an energy that a DJ doesn't, because you can see the preformers where people usually do not watch a DJ.
A DJ is able to play any favorite song by the actual artist.
A band is only able to play the songs they have paracticed.
A DJ provides continous music from song to song.
A band has time in between the songs where there is no dancing.
A quality DJ is able to provide all of the emcee duties.
A bans is only going to play songs that are within the range of its musicians.
A DJ is going to be able to handle a wide range of musical requests.
A band is going to take more flooe space at the reception.
A DJ is able to control the volume of the music during, cocktails and dinner.
A band is going to take breaks.
A DJ doesn't take breaks.
My overall take is that a quality DJ/Emcee is going to play all of your requests while handling all of the Emcee duties such as:
If you want popular music such as hip-hop, I have never seen a band perform the wide range of music on request that a DJ is able to.

Art, How can I thank you enough for coming to our 100 Club Party and being "The Bomb" DJ! You were so awesome! Thank you so much! Carol Haxton - Jazzercise ------------
Art was top-notch! He was entirely self-contained (had generator, speakers, microphones, etc…), read the crowd and tailored the music as the day evolved from athletic events to a post-event cocktail hour, and had a great attitude all day. He is perfect for an outdoor event. We had over 350 corporate professionals there and Art is perfect for that type of crowd. Jack Kappe Co-chairman, Challenge for Children, Buchanan Street Partners Annual Charity Event. ------------
It was a pleasure working with Art at our events. He is very organized, creative and likes what he does. He is also very easy to work with. He helped make our event a success! We plan on using him at our next event. Ray Malzo and Rhonda Donahue Orange County Harley Davidson ------------
Art, I had a compliment from one of the participants who did the pre-ride. He said you played every song he requested and he's never had a DJ that was able to do that. You are our official DJ. Chris Vargas, The Warrior's Society ------------
