DJ or live music?
A DJ costs less and can play any genre; a live band gives the evening a special atmosphere. Many couples choose both: the band plays live sets and the DJ covers breaks and the end of the night.

Pick a DJ, choose your date and send a request. You get an offer in the chat — the fee and any extras, such as their own equipment, lighting or an extra hour.
When you accept and pay through ShowFlow, the date is confirmed with a contract. ShowFlow holds the payment and pays the artist after the event.
