[net.misc] Request for Reception Music

I am asking for ideas for a wedding reception music. The cost
of bands now a days is BIG. The cheapest that we can get is
$90 per hour. With the cost of the rest of the wedding, there
seems to be a better way.

We have considered tapes, but with the wide choice of music,
it will be hard to please most of the crowd.

Has anyone used anything else besides a band? Does anyone have
any suggestions at all? If anything else we can tape a variety
of songs, but that takes time and borrowing of albums. Might
be our only other choice.

In response to Pat's question about alternatives to a band for a
wedding reception, try looking into a solo musician.  One friend 
of mine had a guitarist play at her wedding.  It wasn't great for 
dancing, but it added a very romantic feel to the whole thing and 
most of the people there seemed to enjoy it.  Another possibility 
is a pianist.  A good one can do dance music along with ballads 
and pleasant background music.

You can usually hire a solo musician for between $20 and $50 an hour.

Best of luck to you, Pat!
