DJ Service
Lost In Music have many of their own custom-made compilation CD's which they play before, in-between and after their live sets. They're really very good. You wouldn't want to hear the latest chart compilation CD (it's probably mostly rap, metal & other music inappropriate for an event like yours), so they make their own with all great songs which people recognise and want to dance to (or eat dinner to, depending on when they're played), all mixed like a DJ so there are no embarrassing 5-second gaps between each song.
However, and here's the thing, the Lost In Music CD player doesn't take requests, doesn't talk to the guests or give dedications, and it doesn't have much in the way of a visual presence or personality. So you might consider hiring the DJ service.
Malachi, one of the band's lead singers, is also a professional DJ. He turns up with around 20,000 songs and is extremely knowledgeable about music, so has no problem at all taking requests. Crucially, he will also 'read' the audience and play songs which they will enjoy. For example, perhaps he'll play a 1970's disco track which the guests love. Well, he could probably follow that with another 1970's disco track, and it would give him a great idea of what other songs to play instead of guessing.
Because Malachi is already there at the venue, it's much less expensive to hire him to DJ, than to hire a separate DJ. He plays through Lost In Music's PA system, so there are not two lots of equipment clogging up the place untidily, and he'll also know what songs the band are playing, so won't play them.
Malachi is not just an afterthought, a 'let's invent a DJ service' - he really is a top DJ! Even if, heavens above, you decide not to have Lost In Music for your event....well, you can have Malachi on his own.
