Everything you need for a California wedding

rapidmason10 said:When I gave them a ring, they quoted me around $11,000, or $4000 said they weren't totally sure yet... and that doesn't even include gas or travel...

And hey, I'm out in Savannah too, so they didn't charge me for travel... Tip-top is actually solid... and then there's that Taco Bell band from Charleston that goes for about $1,000... it's just the four of them... they bring their own drums, keys, and one guy handles both guitar and vocals plus a singer...

Ladies, if any of you know a DJ who can really bring the vibes and play great music, please let me know!

🙂We managed to lock in the venue and the band back in June—though with that band, we practically had to beg just to find a date where they weren't busy. I honestly thought I had plenty of time, but the girls on the forum warned me to get my act together and book everything immediately—and thank God they did. It turns out you really need to reserve the music and the hall a full year in advance—depending on the band or the venue, of course. You might want to hurry up too... I was working out of state for two months, so I made sure to get everything squared away while I was on the clock—let me know if you need any help.

Ira in Dugopolj,
the elite at Dgopolj Ružica,
Ružica in San Francisco,

these are all just supply shops. You can find everything from ribbons to cake boxes and whatever other little trifles you might need. 👍

and Nirs,

Raymond Brooks7 said:The business district in Boise features both Iowa and Elite—Iowa sits right near Studenac, while Elite is right at the start if you’re heading out from ST, just past Dolisa

Ružica is located over in Mejaš, right on the ground floor of the Dacia Nirs dealership

Nirs is situated by the prison over in Bilica

David King72 said:Michael Lee19 do you have any other heavy metal bands up your sleeve?
and honestly
I’m pretty sure I have some of those numbers saved somewhere, or maybe they're just buried in my old contacts—I'll have to check who exactly you ended up calling

David King72 said:Michael Lee19 just a bunch of amateur garage bands, some local legends, a few neighborhood characters, and a whole lot of nobodies,

So, my trip is over, but I’d give anything to live that day all over again... 😁
Look, I know you all are hunting for intel, so I figured I’d just give you my take on my "suppliers"...
First - restaurant DOLIS... first - restaurant DOLIS It was phenomenal. The servers were discrete, though they were everywhere you turned. The food was excellent—or so I was told, since I barely ate anything... The atmosphere was top-tier. Out of all the venues we’ve scouted, this is definitely number one in the San Francisco area, especially considering we had a group of 158 guests.
Viva Group That band deserves every single cent they get. They play incredibly well, they’ve got that authentic rock sound down, and they even put on their own light show with smoke machines and everything... 😁 They tailor their setlist to please the crowd, but they actually have a massive repertoire to pull from... One die-hard Dirty fan even remarked that they play almost better than the band itself... 😁 😁 😁 They really are worth every recommendation...
Antonia Guć is such a poser... She does an incredible job; we barely recognized ourselves... top-tier products and she has hands of gold. 🙂
What else? Hmm... maybe a florist. Užanca It was fine either way. The seating arrangement at the youth table was actually phenomenal, and people ended up grabbing those arrangements to take home... 😁... the cake was from... Zenith... Based on those photos you guys posted—whatever you want to call them—she was a total knockout... Branka Which singer at the church has that angelic voice? Let me know if you're interested—she and her brother (she sings, he plays the organ) absolutely blew everyone away with their performance... especially me...

I can't comment on the Photo just yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I get my hands on the images and the DVD...
If you have any questions at all—just ask. I know exactly how overwhelming and confusing the whole planning process can be... 😲 Don't get worked up. Just take it easy... 🙂 Hey there!
