We won't be having any music for the cocktail hour. We're trying to save wherever we can. We'll have a DJ for the reception.

ceremony - i contacted a local university music department to see if there are any students that have experience and would like to make some extra $ - will probably go with that.
cocktail hour - our DJ provides that info and will just play light 'jazz' type music...

I am using Soul Revival Entertainment for ceremony, cocktail and reception. For our cocktail hour, we are having a jazz trio, since FH is a musician himself and loves jazz (I hate it but I figure I'll give him this one thing ) I can't remember if you asked for pricing, but I will give it to you anyway...it's $150 per musician for cocktail hour. And for our reception, we are having a 9 piece, at $6300. I think they are reasonable, considering some that we looked at we upwards of $10,000 for the same # of pieces. Their website is www.soulrevivalband.com Good Luck!!!! Jane

Did you find anyone who wanted to play at your wedding from your local university. I am thinking of going that route. Let me know. Also, what were the prices. Thanks

I am doing a harpist for the church with the church pianist. Also, a friend of mine is going to sing a solo.
For the cocktail hour we are having a piano player (included in the price of our band).
Edited to add: the harpist was $150. She is a friend of a friend, so I am not sure if she is giving me a break at all... but she was shocked to hear some of the other prices I was quoted!
