Hey Ladies,
Im in the process of trying to figure out how to coordinate the entertainment for our reception. We have chosen the Audubon Tea Room and want to have cocktails and hor d'oeuvres on the back patio for about a half hour before we open the doors and really get the party going. Problem is, I operated under the assumption that the band we would hire for the full reception would be able to provide an acoustic set or a couple of brass instruments for that part. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to coordinate music for the outside. I'd like a jazz trio, but in my preliminary research, it seems like they don't go for such a small time frame.
Have any of you done or plan on doing a jazz trio/acoustic set while your guests have cocktails before the full reception starts? We're not having a sit down dinner, but want to give our guests some time to mingle and enjoy some passed appetizers before the indoor food stations open. Any thoughts you can give me will be appreciated!
