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