Re: ceremony and cocktail musicians

are you having a band or dj? they can probably provide musicians. Our band is providing a string trio for the ceremony around 700 i think, and a jazz quartet for the cocktail hour. but i forgot how for how much. The string trio is from Soundcheck entertainment.

Re: ceremony and cocktail musicians

i want to keep the music under $3,000. my dj quoted me $1400, so i guess my budget is around $1500. i need ceremony, cocktail hour, and then the dessert lounge at the end. three hours total.

Re: ceremony and cocktail musicians

try Capriccio Ensemble. they're a vendor here. Natalie has been great to work with and their repetoire runs from classical to contemporary. they should be able to work with your budget.

I booked royal brass for an hour is 600 for the trio. I would definitely call Fodger and see what he can do for you.

Re: ceremony and cocktail musicians

i think i'm paying $450 for strings @ cocktail hour. but that was a discount because i'm also using them for the ceremony. Contact Stan Wiest.

Re: ceremony and cocktail musicians

We are having a string quartet for the CH and we booked Counterpoint. We are paying $550 for 1 hour. They were the best quality / least expensive that we could find.
