Hello!
We recently booked our venue (yay!) and now we are on the look out for affordable (read cheap, but quality work) DJs and florists and ceremony musicians in the Phialdelphia, South Jersey, Delware areas. We have a tight budget but of course we still want quality sound and pretty flowers. I am not a flower girl meaning I can distinguish roses from tulips but I know I am looking for simple/romantic arrangements- we're getting married in a garden/arboretum so we don't need much floral decor.
As for a DJ, we want someone who can do minimal emceeing but not someone who totally controls the flow of the party, and who will allow us to really customize the playlist.
Ceremony music is something we haven't totally discussed. We initially thought about having a friend/family member provide music. Has anyone done this? Would it be rude to ask them miss out on ceremony by putting them to work?
As far as pricing, I don't even know the average costs for entertainment? If anyone could point us in the right direction that would be awesome.
Thanks!
