Timepiece from Franklin Wayne. That was the price when I booked last year, I assume its gone up slightly. That is about average - there are bands for a bit less and a bit more, but I think $5K is pretty normal. I don't think Im getting any great 'deal' but the band was very good.

Marcella...We are paying 6,000. It wasn't a hard choice and definetly worth every penny...they are 10 pcs with two girl singers. They play italian, spanish, house....everything. We needed a great band b/c my FH wanted a DJ I wanted a band...we are getting the best of both worlds...they play and sound like a CD.

About 6,000 for 5 instruments, 2 solo singers, MC and 3 technician ppl. This is a price without the lightning, which would be extra, and we didn't want it for the day wedding... But they can play Russian music which was important for us.
