Hi Ladies!
Sorry that it has been a while since I last posted. As a quick re-introduction, my name is Jaclyn and I'll be getting married in September this year (omg, the time is flying!! That's less than 8 months! Eek!) We're having an outdoor ceremony and trying to figure out the best option for music. We have our dj lined up for the reception and they can do the music for the ceremony but I'm a little concerned it would look/be cheesy. We happened to be at our venue (which is Belhurst Castle) while there was a wedding going on and the dj just looked out of place and was having trouble playing the music. Now, I don't know if that's because of that particular dj (I have no idea who they had) or if it is because of where they are asked to set up, etc. Anyhow, because of that we've been considering a string quartet for the ceremony and cocktail hour but we're surprised by the cost for just two hours. Some are priced $900 - $1000; is that normal? Can anyone recommend a string quartet that has reasonable prices? Or, if you are a newly married Belhurst bride and used a dj, I'd love to hear about your experiences and what you used during your ceremony. Thanks for your help!!!
