Wedding Music

If you are wanting live music for either the service or the reception it certainly pays to shop around.  At a wedding I recently attended the bride had set her heart on a string quartet to play at the church and found an excellent one at the local University music department who charged only £140 for 2 hours. 

Bands and singers may charge less for mid-week events than they would for a Saturday night. 

If you are wanting a disco at a formal venue, they may insist you use their choice of DJ who has his equipment permanently set up there but for smaller  private venues you could get a friend with a good sound system to do it for you.  Remember to provide a good mix of music - the over 50s will expect the Rolling Stones!  It is a good idea to borrow a few CDs (all carefully labelled so they can be returned) or buy a few cheap compilation CDs such as Best of the 60s or whatever.

Remember to check that the venue has a licence for music if you are doing your own.
