Ok so FH are not DJ people we love live music - we found a band we fell in love with and have listened to other bands - we didn't realize how expensive bands are, the band we fell in love with is not the most expensive but is $1000 more than we had budgeted to spend.
Now I'm thinking - should we go for broke with the band that we love or start looking for DJs?
Getting a DJ would save so much money that I'd really rather spend buying furniture for our apartment/ a car/ or adding some to the photography budget (which was my most important part but had to cut the budget) we have cut so many corners so far and sacrificed different things we wanted to save money for a band.
If you girls don't mind could you suggest DJs and if possible send me some price quotes that you may have?
Thank you in advance!!

I would either look for a different band, or book the one you fell in love with and cut somewhere else on the budget

You can get a dj with a live percussuionist! This is what we are doing b/c FH wanted a band and it was just not in our budget. It was around 2200 for both I think!

I think that if you REALLY love this band, then you should book them. I know I may get slapped upside the head for saying this, but $1K is not *that* much money in the grand scheme of this wedding planning stuff. If they were say, $3K out of your budget, okay, then you need to look around more. But personally, I think that you may end up kicking yourself, or being less than happy, if you went with something else than what you loved. JMO though.
