HELP! Ceremony and Cocktail musicians

Ladies I need your help!

FH and I booked an amazing band for the reception and figured we would just play CDs for ceremony and cocktail. Come to find out from my caterer that the synagogue does not have a sound system in the shul, so we cant play a CD during the ceremony, but they do have sound everywhere else so we can play a CD during cocktail hour.

We reached out to our band to see what the cost would be to have some of the musicians for the ceremony and cocktail hour and they said it would cost almost $2000 more! Ridiculous!

Does anyone have any recommendations for musicians just for the ceremony?

We are not going with traditional songs, I am walking to Dave Matthews and FH and the bridal party are walking to Oasis (all instrumental).

HELP!

Thanks!

Do you know someone that has an Ipod with a docking station with speakers....I am sure that would work.......

Hmmm - Didn't think of that one.

Just have to find instrumental versions of the songs I want!

we used Capriccio Ensemble, they are a vendor on here. We had a string trio for the ceremony and it sounded great! the prices are reasonable too

We hired Marie Stack MAS Music to play piano for our ceremony only. She's a vendor on here a pleasure to work with and her rates are reasonable HTH
