Is it possible to get A or B? I noticed they aren't taken yet...

A or B works fine, just reach out to Nice.

Can I shorten my username to Ann?

That's already taken.

Paul King5 As stated by:
ambercrane18 We booked Jessie's band. They play just about everything based on the couple's requests, though they won't touch any cheesy pop hits. Their repertoire covers everything from local favorites to international classics—you name it, they play it. The price is currently $2,000, but expect an increase in 2024; I'm not sure exactly how much. We went to see them perform live, and let me tell you, those guys are incredible.

Check out the official website for Jessie: http://www.jessy-band.com/

Thanks, Paul King5... what’s the deal with the band? Are they going to send over a recording, or are we expected to head out to a studio in San Diego or something to actually hear them play?
As of right now, my top picks are Calypso and Brava Band—a close friend of mine is actually playing with them, and he mentioned they’re willing to play just about any genre you request. I’ve already listened to them on YouTube, and their quality is excellent. I am also interested in Kocka Band, though I need to listen to them more closely, and I plan to check out Jessie next. I attended a party where the Rockatansky Band performed, but they lack a female vocalist. Having both male and female vocals is a non-negotiable requirement for me.
Regarding photography and videography: I am aware that the final cost depends entirely on the specific package selected. My current budget for this is approximately $1,600.
I have been looking into several options: Studio In, Papaya Studios, Val Studios, and Megagrf Studios. I also considered hiring someone for Zumba, having Sinclair handle the photography, and letting Matthews take care of the video work—though I recall reading somewhere that they charge higher rates. Now, I am looking for your advice.

We used Universal Studios....☕

Check the community bulletin board over at Mercy Hospital...

Walter Nelson56 said:Great idea... just pick whoever you want at Kaparana as soon as possible since it’s such a busy month, unless you want them all booked up on you. As for Lido Aurora, a colleague of mine booked them an entire year in advance and they were already full... I called them about five or six months out and they actually had availability for those dates! Good luck...😍

😉😁

analoglynx17 said:Back again with another quick question 🙂 🙂 In the first 150 pages of this forum, everyone was raving about KOCKA band, but then they completely vanished from the conversation in the next 100. If anyone has seen them live recently, please let me know! We're narrowing down our choices to:

1. KOCKA band
2. Tip Top
3. Lido Aurora

The poll is officially open 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

LIDO AURORA!!! LIDO AURORA!!!😁

When exactly is the party...?

Anthony Hill40 said:Hi everyone!
Does anyone happen to know what time the course in San Diego actually starts? I managed to find the schedule, but it only lists the dates without specifying the exact hours!
Also, does anyone know where they're holding it? Is it at the church or in some other community space? I’d love to swing by and check it out since the course kicks off tomorrow!

The course is at the Zvonimirovon Community Center, though I'm not entirely sure of the start time. I'm guessing tomorrow at 7:30 PM...!!

Paul King5 said:Maybe I’ll jump back in too... I'm hunting for this specific wedding dress they carry in boutiques around San Francisco, though I bet Miles over in Spokane has it for $333 cheaper. No way Victoria's Secret or Sposa is still holding onto a 2012 St. Patrick gown for $0.83. The real issue is if I see it in person and it looks totally trash on me...

Yeah, everything there is perfectly fine $0.83!😁
You can find Sposa in Spokane too!!!😉

Paul King5 said:I’m heading straight out to Brnaza to see Miles... the wedding dress I’ve been obsessing over for next year is $0.83 (the Saint Patrick 2012 collection). If I don't find anything there, I'll hit up some shops in San Francisco.

I hit almost every salon in the Brnaza area... ended up coming right back to San Francisco!😍

Jack Murphy7 said:By "around here," I mean San Francisco, Oakland, and Santa Monica. 😉

Hahahaha....😂😂😂
Fine, then "around here" means those places!!!😂😂😂

Jack Murphy7 said:Actually, now I remember—Horse-drawn carriages from Little Rock. They show up around here quite often...

Is that right??? They're around here constantly too, which is exactly why I know them!!😉

Jack Murphy7 said:where's the band from?

They're from the Midwest, though I can't recall the exact city. I'll check with my partner and let you know...
They call themselves the Horse-drawn carriages!!!👋

David King72 said:Actually, I finally pulled the trigger and booked Photo Marino.
You'll be happy with them, provided you play hardball—maybe try "threatening" them with the idea that they'll never see you again if they don't deliver perfectly!

I absolutely have to, since I'm planning on bringing the bluegrass band in for about two hours! That definitely needs to be documented!!!😉

David King72 said:The exact same thing happened to me—I missed out on exactly what I was aiming for, even though I had plenty of time to lock it in. But honestly, whether I do it today or tomorrow, does it even matter? I can't say I'm losing any sleep over the choice I made...

What exactly are we looking for here—a cure for everything? Is there some magical remedy floating around out there that’s going to solve all our problems in one fell swoop, or are we just tossing ideas into the void to see what sticks? I was just sitting here wondering if anyone else has been feeling that sudden, inexplicable urge to go out and rent a studio space? It’s one of those things that hits you out of nowhere, isn't it? One minute you're perfectly content in your living room, and the next, you're convinced that you absolutely need a dedicated creative sanctuary to finally get anything done. Is it just me, or does having a separate room somehow magically transform your productivity levels from zero to sixty? I mean, how can anyone be expected to find their flow when they're staring at a pile of laundry or a half-finished crossword puzzle instead of focusing on their craft? Does anyone actually have experience navigating the madness of finding an affordable spot in a city like Chicago or maybe even somewhere a bit more laid back like Austin? I'm curious to hear if anyone has successfully managed to strike that elusive balance between a workspace that inspires you and a monthly rent check that doesn't leave you eating instant noodles for the rest of the month. Just a little piece of advice:
Lately, I’ve noticed a lot of guests tend to make a quick exit right after the cake and flowers are served, so you might want to keep an eye on that timing if you actually want people to stick around? It’s a bit of a shame because the photography is absolutely top-tier, and you really don't want to miss out on those shots just because everyone decided to head for the exits early.

So you're looking at Studio In?
I have no idea, but I really hope I'll be happy with them!!!🤷

Sophia Phillips3 said:Honestly, we just scoured the web, saw a ton of solid reviews, and checked out their website. Their videography looked killer, so we reached out. We weren't even really hunting for anyone specific, we just went with the vibe.
The owner mentioned they've got three weddings booked that same day, so they'll probably be developing our shots back at the studio instead of doing them right there in the ballroom....

Why would he develop photos right there in the studio? I had no idea that was even an option.
Whatever happens, I just hope we made the right call😉 even though I'm feeling a bit shaky about it 😕!!!!
I can't help it if some photographers were already booked up for my wedding🙂

Take a look at the Castelli hall😉>

Sophia Phillips3 said:Alright, I’ve got everything squared away on my end. The guys are grabbing beers, and the wedding studio is already on-site filming. The only thing bugging me is this whole situation with the manager over at Dolis—it feels sketchy. Honestly, I’m in a worse spot than most, yet they won't even mention that this new policy regarding seat payments is actually happening... Hmmm :/

Wait, Studio In is doing the photography???
How on earth did you guys settle on them???😉

Paul King5 said:Thanks for the feedback, everyone. We’re gonna head over to Aria to check things out and talk to the manager to see what the deal is. I’m honestly losing it... my place is amazing, but this food is seriously messing with my head. After that, we might hit up Amigos in Podstrana... and who knows where else we'll end up, we'll see.

A close friend of mine was actually at an event at Aria back in September and she couldn't stop raving about the food and the service... She said every single dish was so delicious they kept ordering more, and they never once ran out of anything!😉

Listen, everyone,
I need some advice on ordering cookies for a crowd of 150. It’s for an event where people gather first and then come pick me up... anyone have experience with this? How much should I actually order to cover everyone??? 🙏
