Music Yes, Video NO
I married off two daughters in the past two years.
We have live bands at both (NOT one man band). We also set a playlist of live music and recorded music to be played during specified band breaks,
The contracts (which I wrote, that’s what lawyer’s do) specified that we got to control volume level. It listed one of my sons and one of my brothers as having authority to tell the band leader to adjust the volume and/or personally do so. There was a large monetary penalty in the contract for noncompliance. We wanted all guests to be able to hold conversations at their tables. They were joining in our simchos, NOT attending a concert.

We did the video thing for the first two children’s weddings. Waste of money, never look at them anymore. Nowadays, everyone has a smartphone with video capability. We asked guests to upload their clips to a website and made a video collage that was sent to family who could not attend. Total cost less than $100.
