We are finally getting our music together. The reception is about done and I have ideas for ceremony music, but no idea what to have for cocktail hour music. Did anyone have music during your cocktail hour (or will you be having music during cocktail hour)? What kind of music? About how much did you spend for cocktail hour music? I'm almost tempted to have a jazz CD play during the cocktail hour.
Our DJ is supplying the music-just soft music, Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel, etc...
We are using a spanish guitarist for our cocktail hour.
Our band for the reception has a violin player who'll play at the coctail hr. It all came as one package for us.
I'll be using the same as christy : ).
If you are using a DJ, they can have 2 sets of speakers, one which they use for the cocktAIL HOUR.
We have a trio that is also playin the ceremony and I think they will be playing a lot of classical music.
We booked a steel drum player with our DJ - Get In Tune, we saw her at a showcase and she was amazing, so we booked her!
I have a 12 piece band for the reception. Some of the musicians in the band will perform at the ceremony (I think piano & flute) and then i'll have a jazz trio (piano, bass & drums) for the cocktail hour. I don't really know how much this costs b/c my parents are musicians and they did the whole thing- but I wouldn't be surprised if this was about $8k. However- I do know that my friend used a band that was great (Vertigo) and then she hired an extra piano player, drummer & bassist- they served as the music during the cocktail hour and then they filled in when the main band took a break during the reception. I think the band costs like 5k and the extra 3 pieces was 1k.
