OMG. I just realized my wedding is in 4 weeks!!!

Oooh one month to go! I can't wait to hear how everything goes!

Don't stress- just let the day flow and remember that you have nothing to worry about (least the time that your at Russo's- you know by now that they run like a well oiled machine!)

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

Thanks girls!!! It's funny how Russo's is the only thing I'm not worried about. Tomorrow if my final dress fitting, and extra stress=extra eating so I'm hoping it fits!

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

Hi Ladies,
I am having an issue & need some advise. I need to make a desision regarding entertainment in 24 hours I like a band that my cousin had at her wedding this past august named Code Bleu, they were awsome played a good veriety of music & kept everyone out of there seats. They first told me they would charge $5500. for a wedding in February, my cousin paid over $6000 in August. The band called me yesterday telling me that they need to know if I am going with them b/c someone else is requesting the date. Now he tells me that he had just make a new contract with the band members & the best he can do is $5725.00 also I haven't decided on the
Venetian hour which if I do the band wants an extra $75 a band member & there are 8 band members.

On the other hand I can go with a DJ who has a singer, the singer will sing dinner music for the 3 sit down courses all together for a price of $3100.

I am crazy I am paying for this whole wedding me & FH & I know the DJ is a better choice but I so want a band. What advice do any of you have. I need help.

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

Hey Kris...I think you should go with the DJ. It's so much less than the band and from my experience using DJ's with a live singer just as good as a real band. If you absolutely have your heart set on a band did you try shopping around? My friend had a band at her wedding in February for 4,000. I can get the name of them if you like.

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

Kris, i'd say go with the DJ. the band quoted u one price and now wants more? thats not right.

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

Hi Ladies,
Thanks for your in put. Mady, I agree with you I think they are awsome but to change the price like that I don't even want to give them my business even if I can get them down in price.

-Nikki, I have been shopping I haven't found a band cheaper then $4800. What is the name of your friends band? where you at the wedding, What did you think of them?

My FH wants the DJ, don't get me wrong I had a good vibe from him I like the way he works I just have to think about it more.

This whole wedding planning stuff is crazy. You want everything just right. My biggest thing is the food which I got that right with Russo's & the music. I feel if you have good food & music it makes the wdding.

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

I would shop around.. I know that you probably can do better.

I know that Mizzdimple (Lisa) had a band at well.. DH and I went with a DJ from Sound Check Entertainment and only paid $800 (one man but that's all we needed).

I know that all this is just crazy planning but believe me it will be well worth it

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

Thanks for all the input, I hope you all don't mind me venting to you all. I feel like you ladies are my support. Mizzdimple (Lisa) had a band that was I think over $6000. I don't want to spend that money lol. But I am going to look at all my options. I am starting to think that the DJ/ with the singer might just be the best thing. I will have a little live entertainment & get any song I want played with the DJ. I am going to look into other bands, but I think I might end up with the DJ. Plus FH feels really strong about them & he has been awsome letting me really run the show & do what I want for our wedding. So we will see what I decide in the long run.
