Are you getting live music???

I don't know if I should get a string quartet/harpist on top of the DJ.

Are you getting a band/classical musicians?!??!

We are having a band at the reception. Two band members will play music at the cocktail hour. I'm hoping to have a string quartet at the ceremony, but I'm not sure if that's going to be possible.

We are having live musicians at our wedding. I love the sound on top of a DJ. It just adds a little something extra!

Re: Are you getting live music???

I wanted a stiring trio for the ceremony and /or CH but it was too much money (and we were looking to hire Julliard students!)...I only wanted a DJ for the reception tho- I've heard that adding the drums to the DJ packages is a lot of fun tho!

What kind of musicians?

Do they come with your DJ or did you find them on your own?

Re: Are you getting live music???

We had a DJ, b/c we wanted to real singers instead of a band playing the song. Everyone loved the DJ and other people have used the company. They had everyone up dancing and celebrating. They were great! I would say go with a DJ.
