Does anyone know of any reasonably priced ceremony musicians? I'm looking for probably a trio but my church is already costing me $750.00 just to get married there so I don't want to spend a fortune on the musicians! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and if you don't mind, please include prices if you know them. Thanks so much girls!

Re: Ceremony Musicians
I'm getting married at the hall and 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.
He charges $125 for ceremony and $75 for cocktail hour. $200 total for 2 hours1

Re: Ceremony Musicians
I have yet to book my ceremony music-
I am having an outdoor ceremony.
Any suggestions?
I was thinking of a harpist or a saxaphonist.

Re: Ceremony Musicians
I am also in the process of booking Jim Lowe - Pianist. The price is right! And his demo tape is great! I looked into other thinks like harpist, steel drums etc.... TOO MUCH MONEY! Not in my budget. Good Luck!

Re: Ceremony Musicians
Jennifer- That is why we booked him. A harp or sax would have been nice but there was no way I was spending $400 for 45 mins

Re: Ceremony Musicians
Yeah, tell me about it! $450 bucks for an hour. That is outrageous! And Jim does such a wonderful job. I heard rave reviews about him!

Re: Ceremony Musicians
Even if he s*cked I'd still be happy at $200, LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Just joking. I hear he was great. He did jenny11.9's wedding and Crisco's just recently. The only surprise they both got is that he bursts out singing while playing

Re: Ceremony Musicians
I also booked Jim Lowe! He is so nice . We spent 45 minutes on the phone while he played pieces of music for me. And of course he is VERY reasonable.

Re: Ceremony Musicians
What about hiring student musicians? Did anyone check out that option? If so, what did you find out?

Re: Ceremony Musicians
I'm having a soloist and an organist for the wedding,that are included withthe church.. I would DEF call up Juliard or any of the notable music schools, some of those kids are incredible..and they'll be more than happy with like 100 bucks!
I have my music director at the church finding out for me whether or not he can find me a trumpeteer for the ceremony to do my entrance..
mind you most of these places have the gall to wanna charge me like 450-750 for an HOUR!! I'm not even having mass!
