Olivia Lee5 said:It looks like both of those caterers are out of luck—one is already booked up on my date, and the other is asking for $1167 just to travel out to Castel. I actually stumbled upon an option here in St that works perfectly with what I had in mind: I provide the food myself, and they handle all the setup and provide their own dishes. I just need to double-check the pricing, and then I think I can finally take this whole headache off my plate.

Could you please DM me their number or a link to their Facebook page? I’m looking for the exact same thing!

Thanks so much!

Majo...
Did you get my message in your inbox?

I feel so bad about the Price of Papaya, but I actually heard about Volar from a friend who went to a gala a few weeks ago. She absolutely loved them and booked them on the spot! Honestly, I'm just thrilled they're available on one of my dates when I have the hall free in July. 🙂

Have you heard anything about the photography for California? I was looking at the shots from those two galas Matthew took for them, and they look incredible. Plus, he’s the only one available on that specific date!

How much is the Price of Papaya going to be for you?

I’ve honestly heard they are absolutely wonderful. Have you ever actually been to one of their parties while they were performing? Or maybe you've heard about that woman who always drinks with them?

I think they seem pretty great too, but the DVD from the last show won't arrive for another 15 days, and that's way too late for me to decide. I have to make my choice in a few days, so I'm really looking for everyone's input! I heard that at a recent party where they played, two bands booked them on the spot. 🙂

My Papaya is fully booked 😢 for all those dates.

Thanks so much, everyone!

I’ll let you all know once I finally make a decision on which photographer to go with.
Right now, I have availability with Matthew Geldala—his portfolio looks incredible, though I still need to confirm his rates. I also have openings with Megagraf and Studio Smile (Rank Pupic).
For my California shoot, Megagraf and Studio Smile (Rank Pupic) are both free,
and for the top-tier option, I can book Simon Srdarvic (though I'd still need to hunt down a videographer).

To the ladies here with more experience: if you were in my shoes, who would you pick? Thanks a million for the help! 🙂

Does anyone happen to know the going rate for a top-tier service? They wouldn't give me a quote over the phone, so I'm just trying to get a sense of what to expect before I head in.

Even with the absolute best vendors out there, you might still miss the mark, but these guys are just too good for me 👍

Have you ever listened to the Volar band? They're available, and I'm really leaning toward them, but I just can't track down their DVD from any of those old bootleg sites, even though they're the most affordable option out there.

Who did your photography? I asked Papaya, but he's booked up for all those dates. Simon is free at Tip Top, and Rank Pupic at Studio Smile is also available during the slots for Volar and Barclays 🤷

They’ve got me booked up through June and July, plus they have two free Saturdays in May, but that feels way too early for me 😢
Barclays is open on July 28th 🙂
And Tip Top is available on July 21st 🙂Now I'm actually sitting here thinking both dates work perfectly, so what am I going to do with my free Saturday? ???? 🤷🤷🤷

Jack Murphy7 said:I was at the "Noc Livnjak i Duvnjak" festival in Kauri about a year back. They were playing... they were actually pretty good. You can find videos on YouTube if you care to look.

I've watched every single video from all three bands on YouTube, and honestly, they're all pretty good—it's making it so hard to choose!

Did they play much classic American folk during that set? I'm less worried about them being too "pop" and more concerned that they might lean too heavily into country music rather than sticking to those standard Americana classics we usually hear at local festivals.

Hey everyone, I’ve got another one where I’m honestly just looking for some direction...

We’re planning a backyard BBQ on the stone patio and I can't decide if we should go with Volar or Barbary. Also, has anyone ever been to a cookout where the Macao band or Jakov Kasalo ??? were playing?

I’ve been scrolling through their official website, but I honestly can't find any mention of the chair's price, nor did I see anyone else talking about it online (sorry if I missed it, I really looked!). I’m mainly curious about what people think—has anyone heard anything? How’s the quality, the service, and everything else?

thanks!

Hi! I’m new here, and honestly, reading through all your comments has been such a goldmine of information. You guys are awesome!

I was recently scrolling through some photos of the Ultras arena, and wow, it looks absolutely incredible.

Does anyone happen to know what the prices are usually like there, or if the food is any good?

Thanks so much!
