anyone having a percussionist ?

Question...Is anyone having a percussionist with their dj package? If so...how much extra was it?

I was at four in melville over the summer on monday night and the dj had a percussionist and it sounded great and I want one! FH thinks it's a waste of $$$...I'm not budging on this one!!!!

I have a percussionist, but i forgot exactly how much it was extra. A couple hundred lol sorry i know its not much help, its somewhere in my room. I LOVE it and so does Fh so we said we definitely have to do this, but were also using it in more ways so DEFINITELY needed it

i know...I'm so surprised fh isn't on board with this. i'm not budging...I will have a percussionist at my wedding!!!!

thanks for the info!

denise-what do you mean your using it in more ways?

A percussionist was the one thing my fh made sure we had. We went to 1 wedding that had one and it enhanced the music soooo much. Andrea, don't budge on this one, add it yourself and pay for it yourself and it can be a suprise for him

---

lol yeah if fh thinks something is a waste of money thats what i do, i say ok ill pay for it then lol

Me too, lol. Hey, if I have the money and I want it, I am getting it. lol

denise- are you talking about me? LOL

We just saw Starlight Express at a Leonards showcase and we were flipping blown away. Vinny even remembered us and came over to speak with us and met my parents and FH dad...ANYWAY...the point of this was to point out that they had the percussion and it was great!!!

I think it also has to do with the size of the room...we wanted it but after seeing the set up, we thought it would be to squashed and would take away from the dance floor too much....and we need that bc our fams can PAR-TY! LOL
