Live Band/ Entertainment

[Alya]

Hi ladies,

I am thinking of hiring a live band for my wedding next year.
I was wondering if anyone has contacts to share.

I checked out Wedding Harmony who performed at my friends' wedding...a whooping 3-4k.
My budget is definitely less than that, definitely under 1k if possible.

Anyone has any contacts?

i heard that some people engage Musicdreamers singers or Harks' music singers.

Maybe you can check out their websites.

We cater for parties, seminars, ROM reception and private functions. Enquiry on engagement of our artistes for external performance. Please contact us at admin@musicdreamer.com

Thks for the info Kula . anyone knows if there will be other cost incurred on top of what the band charges? like sound system, etc?

i m currently considering a little dream...
ehehe

how long do you ladies intend to have the band for? 1 set or 2? or even more?
if only 1 set, when would you usually want it to start?

[chezeburger]

alamakz. its ok. hehe.

having a drums really makes a diff ! it is not noisy as many other people think. it really adds colour!

anyway, try to hav at least 2 sets. well, cuz the rental of the equip is fixed. so might as well pay a little more to get more sets!

How abt someone who sings and plays a grand piano? I dream of having my wedding with live piano jazz. Any contacts to share? TIA!

I think it's waste of money, as you give your guests a reason to look at their mobile phones and not concentrating on your wedding. that's my personal opinion. Better to spend the money on something else.

Erm, aren't you advertising for your own band?

[efai]

kewei still need any advertising ma?

[moomooland]

reliving the thread, interesting idea...anyone had live bands during their and care to share the experiences in cc?

Hi all,

Any recommendations for jazz bands? Preferably non-vocal. I'm looking for a band that can play good bosso nova (like stan getz & joao gilberto's kind of music) and old school jazz.

Thanks!
