Thanks! ;-)

Hey,
is this band based out of San Francisco or...? They haven't been mentioned yet, and since I am still searching for the right group, I am curious.
What is their typical rate?

Still, I say go check it out in person. There are plenty of photos online if you want to browse.

The feedback from my relatives is all over the map... anything from pure bliss to total disaster... Look at someone's actual photos and ask for a specific team. Don't let them send some rookie who's going to use you as a practice run...

Price depends on the package, just like everywhere else. And I'm fairly certain you can hire just the photographer; last time I checked, they had a separate price list for that.

You can definitely book photography on its own. Regarding pricing, it varies by package: expect anywhere from $800 to $1,400.

I am considering hiring Photo California! Everyone seems to have had mixed reviews so far, but I want to give them one more look before making a decision... what has your experience been like? Was everyone satisfied with the service? I am planning on just getting a basic package since everything else feels way too expensive. Does the rule apply to them too, where I really need to be careful about which specific crew I end up with?

My fiancée and I are looking at getting married next summer...

We're hunting for a semi-open venue near the coast—maybe somewhere on the California coast—with a budget of around $55 per person, if that's even realistic. We're expecting about 110 to 120 guests... Is now the right time to start searching, or am I being too early?

We want live music that hits a certain vibe—something with an accordion, maybe some acoustic guitar or mandolin... just something high-energy and fun. 🙂

I am still on the hunt for the right music myself.
I am also looking for something similar—something that creates a great vibe.
If you come across any good leads, please let me know.

Jack Murphy7 said:Hand on heart, there isn't—folk musicians are pretty cheap. A group from the Midwest costs about the same as a local duo in San Francisco... I know of a time a group came all the way from Des Moines just to provide backing music plus the venue; you have to factor in their travel and lodging for $2333...
I can help you out with some instrumental accompaniment—hit me up via PM.

That works. Please send me their contact number and their group name.

Does anyone happen to know the approximate cost of hiring a folk band to perform for about an hour? Additionally, are there any such ensembles available in the San Francisco area?

Has anyone here ever heard of the Ružmarin band from Savannah?

Aaron Patel15 said:The music selection is decent, but the performance is trash. There are way better bands in San Francisco, which explains why their price tag is so low.👎

Do you have any recommendations? Even Kocka failed to impress me.

Sandra Moore8 said:Hey there! So, I might be able to help you out a little when it comes to finding a band... I was actually at a reception just a couple of months ago where The Comedy Store band from Chicago was playing. Honestly, they absolutely blew me away.👍

We are heading to see them this Friday at a cafe called Vrime (if I recall correctly), so we will see how they perform.

Do you have any other recommendations?

Terry Anderson2 said:I can only really weigh in on the catering situation, mostly because I’ve spent my own fair share of time trying to wrangle those details myself. I know the New York City Ballet venue offers catering services, though your total cost is going to fluctuate wildly depending on how many guests show up. When I was looking into it for about 120 people, they quoted me roughly $20 per head.

What exactly does that price cover? What is their menu selection like?
I have attempted to call them several times, but I haven't been able to reach them while the manager is actually on duty.

Thank you all for providing such helpful information.
Does anyone happen to have experience with the photography studio based out of Makarska or perhaps the photographer Russo from Savannah?
Additionally, I am still looking to collect contact numbers for various musical groups (duos, trios, etc.).

Many thanks in advance to everyone. 🙂

Of course, I am just one more young lady🙂 who is in desperate need of some assistance.
The wedding is set for August 28th in Savannah, and aside from the venue at an ExxonMobil facility near the coast, we have nothing else reserved.
I urgently require information regarding bands, catering services, photographers, and so on...

This is my first time posting on this forum, so I am still getting a feel for how everything works here.
