Nathan Nguyen2 said:Are you sure about that? Prices have gone up since last year, so I'm pretty sure The Beach Boys are charging more than 1200 bucks now.

Look, this is fresh info... I mean, maybe the price is a little lower because of certain stuff, but like I said, "it's possible to get it" 🙂

Raymond Brooks7 said:Everyone just picks what suits their own taste and whatever they can actually afford....😍

Yeah, honestly, that's pretty much exactly how it is.👍

Jack Miller4 said:It’s entirely possible to find five-piece bands willing to play for as little as $1,500

well yeah, you could also spend 10,000 dollars 🙂 but I don't think anyone's arguing that part... I guess I'm just looking at how to get the best bang for my buck, like, why wouldn't you want cheaper prices if it means getting better music, right? That seems pretty logical to me... 🙂

Raymond Brooks7 said:Look, even back when they played the Major Leagues last year, they were charging $1,600 for the trio... I don't know what you were expecting here.🤷

There was a woman singing because I booked the trio—you get to choose whether to have a female vocalist or not.

The song list is massive. They play everything except that cheesy country stuff... they give you a list and let you pick.
And if you ask me—and my guests—the vibe was spot on. But honestly, I already knew that, otherwise I wouldn't have hired them in the first place.

I must've been dreaming at that party where the top-tier band played, because Nishan was totally blown away, and apparently 1500 bucks for just three guys is way too much... like 500 per person...

I'd say 1000 bucks is a fair price for them since I know they're good; I've seen them perform out in the suburbs a few times...

but honestly, while that amount seems okay because I know they're solid... on one hand, sure, but on the other, 1000 bucks for two people is actually a ton when you realize there are other bands in the same league, maybe even better, that have like five members including a full drum kit and all that... what's the payoff for $3333... I guess $667 per head for one night is a decent enough amount, in my opinion...

Raymond Brooks7 said:They played at a bash I hosted once... personally, I thought they were great.

Last year, the price was about $1,300 including the vocalist. If you don't want her, it's $200 less than that. Who knows what their rates look like today.

well, I guess they aren't exactly cheap considering it’s a group of two or three including the lady... did she actually sing or was it just the two guys?

did they actually set the mood though, I mean, how is their song selection?

Does anyone happen to know what the gig fee is for Bravo band? They’re playing out at the ranch near Austin lately... I was wondering if anyone’s actually caught them live at a bonfire or something similar...

hiddenharbor84 said:Are we talking about a formal ceremony or just a dinner?

I’m assuming you mean a dinner. If what I heard is right, if you want to host a private event there, you have to pay a separate venue fee $10. That doesn't include food or anything else. Don't quote me on that, though—I'm just going by what I've heard. Better double-check.

for the dinner... thanks for the heads up...!

we're really hoping to have the dinner outdoors or maybe somewhere semi-open... does anyone know what the options are between San Diego and Santa Barbara... like, does anyone have any leads or photos or something...

I wonder if the Hilton in Monterey does those vincanja things... they've got such an incredible terrace!

I was wondering if it’s possible to hire Ivica Matić just for photography at a wedding? Basically, we’re only looking for photos and aren't really interested in video services... I guess it would be helpful to know what his typical rate is for just shooting a wedding?

Larry Ross43 says: But how are we supposed to know how Korcula turned out??? 😍 I mean, obviously it went great, but give us some actual details... 😁 As for that villa in California... not too long ago they actually had fixed rental prices, though I can't really remember what the amount was, maybe one of the girls here knows more about it... 🤷 👋

Korcula was honestly amazing, that spontaneous engagement was just so romantic 👍 all 5 👍 like, something we'll be talking about our whole lives, and then later at dinner we got pretty hammered on some Napa Valley red wine, everything was just wild 👍

but man, now that I'm thinking about Pira, the real headache is just starting 😂

feralmoose32 said:Larry Ross43, do you happen to have a specific date in mind for this? 🙂

Man, I’ve got dates for days, like, any time from early 2010 through the start of 2011, I guess. 🙂

But what I’m really trying to figure out is finding an outdoor spot right by the coast, since they'd probably be doing all this during the summer, right? So, I was wondering if anyone has the scoop on Villa California, or maybe if someone could suggest a place where we could host an outdoor wine tasting—you know, something like a big festival vibe...

I was wondering if anyone knows if you can actually host a wine tasting over at Villa California? Does anyone happen to have any info on that?

Hey everyone...

So, what's the deal with Pirate in San Francisco over in Brooklyn? I mean, I know the dining room looks pretty killer, but how's the actual food? They're asking $45 per person for an "all-you-can-eat" deal that includes drinks—wine, beer, soda, all that stuff—and the food itself...

So, I’ve got an Intel card from Bank of America, and I was wondering if I can actually use it to buy stuff online... like, can I link it to my PayPal account or something else like that?? And then, once I'm ready to buy, would it work if I just deposit the exact amount of money into my account and then go ahead with the purchase?

Honestly, I’ve been having nothing but absolute garbage experiences with Samsung gear lately, like, it’s actually getting ridiculous. I can’t even wrap my head around how such a massive company can be this much of a disaster... everything I touch from Samsung just dies on me or won't even turn on in the first place...

So, what's the deal with Apple monitors?

So, what’s the deal with these Samsung TV-MONITORI? I’m kind of thinking about picking something similar up soon...

I mean, honestly, money isn't really an issue here, I just need someone who actually knows what they're doing and won't mess around. Please, if you have any leads, let me know! It's kind of a big deal for me right now.

Seriously though, if anyone has any info at all, please help a person out. 👋

Keith Robinson78 said:but if you're banking on the idea that burning a DVD as an audio disc means you can just pop it into any old CD player... yeah, forget it, that's just not gonna happen.........

I mean, obviously not! I've got a Sony CDP-X777 sitting right here, so I know how this works.

crimsonfalcon67 said:So why don't you just record everything in MP3 format then?

I mean, I guess Tija would probably try to make an audio DVD just like how we have audio CDs now, maybe because they think the sound quality would be better or something...
