Question 1

Should I hire a DJ or a live band for my wedding in Israel?

Accepted Answer

DJs offer vast music libraries and seamless transitions at lower cost (₪3,000–₪8,000). Live bands create electrifying energy but cost more (₪10,000–₪35,000+). Many couples opt for a DJ with live musicians (saxophonist, drummer) as a hybrid option.

Question 2

What music genres are popular at Israeli weddings in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Israeli pop, Mizrahi classics, Greek and Turkish influences, international dance hits, and Yemenite/Moroccan traditional music are staples. Many couples also include Ashkenazi hora sets and modern Hebrew hits.

Question 3

How do I choose the right DJ for my event?

Accepted Answer

Watch videos of them performing live (not studio mixes), check their experience with your event type, ask about their music library range, MC skills, and ability to read the crowd. Meet them before booking.

Question 4

How do I choose entertainment for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah?

Accepted Answer

Teens love high-energy DJs with interactive games, dance-offs, glow accessories, and trending TikTok music. Add a photo booth and candy bar for extra fun. Make sure the entertainer connects well with young audiences.

Question 5

How do I ensure the dance floor stays full all night?

Accepted Answer

Hire an experienced DJ who reads the crowd, mix tempos and genres, plan peak energy moments, involve the MC in engaging guests, and schedule surprises (hora, group dances, special effects) throughout the evening.
