Cocktail Hour Music

We are booking one band for wedding, and then a friend's small band for the cocktail hour. We are getting married at Estate at East Wind in December.

The band that does cocktail hour can do either jazz or acoustic (i.e. Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, etc.).

At first we were leaning towards jazz because that is 'classier,' and our venue is kind of fancy. But we both are into music and personally prefer the acoustic type. What do you think would be better?

LOL I am your first vote :) Go with what you like.. plus, I think that Jazz is like a later in the night type music.. It might be a bit dramatic for the cocktail hour!! I could be wrong though :)

Re: Cocktail Hour Music

I say go with what you're into!

We are doing Jazz but also some Billy Joel it goes with our martini bar vibe.

bump...

thanks ladies. any thoughts from those who weren't on this weekend?

Re: Cocktail Hour Music

could you do half and half? so that way you could start with the jazz and ease into the acoustic for the end of the ch/start of the reception?

Re: Cocktail Hour Music

good idea... i think the issue is the guy brings different people with him depending on what he is doing.... but i will ask.
