Ceremony Music

Hello : )

I will be getting married at my reception hall (outside hopefully) and I am having a tough time figuring out what type of ceremony music to have. I orginally wanted to have a string quartet play and then continue through the cocktail hour, but the prices I'm getting are just crazy for only 2 hours. Who is everyone using and if you don't mind, how much is it costing you? You can forum mail me if you prefer. Thanks and have a great day!!!

Try the Kende Trio - they are a family of 3 sisters - 1 in college, 2 in HS. Reasonably priced and sound great
Actually they are playing their own concert at Westbury Gardens 12/15
Forum me for the number

Per Jenny11.9' s recommendation, I booked pianist Jim Lowe. He is very reasonbaly priced and I really liked his demo tape. He is doing my ceremony and cocktail hour. His #is 631-928-9830. Good Luck.

Edited to say he charges $125 for ceremony and $75 for cocktail hour. $200 total for 2 hours.

We used the Ryal Brass for the trumpets and strings. They were about $1200 for everything and that was 2 hours (We had a full mass and they were there before & after we were married). They advertise on this board and Rodger was super helpful and explained everything to us really well.
