Visa, Uber, Jessie, Best Buy, Major League Baseball...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a truly exceptional women's choir or vocal group to perform at a church service?

thanks :-D

Maybe Baby... everyone keeps telling me they're the way to go.😉

Thanks... I honestly have absolutely no clue where I should even begin looking to order some decent pastries.

Hi there, I'm new to the forum... I've already read through most of the threads. But I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with the salsa at the Hotel St. Croix on Manhattan? Specifically regarding the bands Lido Aurora and Mike Burr?

I ordered a 20 kg variety pack of pastries and a wedding cake from Vidal for a party I hosted. They were incredibly cheap ($12 per pound for any kind of pastry), but they tasted totally homemade and delicious. I definitely recommend them 🙂))

Thanks for all the input! 😉

The Rolling Stones is already booked, but Brava Band and Visa should be available.
Aura sounds great too, though it’s driving me crazy that I can't find a video of them playing a wedding.
Right now, I've got Uber, Casino, Phoenix, and Jessie on my list. Does anyone have any smart advice to help me narrow this down? 😬

I’m not sure if any of you have had the pleasure of hearing Barbarossa yet, but in my humble opinion, they are truly, genuinely spectacular... for this particular gig, they actually borrowed the lead singer from Fire Kiss, and honestly, they created an absolutely electric atmosphere 👍

Hey everyone, I know this question has probably been asked five hundred times already, but here goes nothing... I’m looking for a solid makeup artist who could come over to my place to do hair and makeup for about five girls (I live just outside of Savannah). If you have any recommendations, feel free to shoot me a DM
.. Thanks! 🙂

Hey everyone, I could really use some advice! I just booked a room at the Atrium Hotel—has anyone here stayed there before? Any experiences you can share?

Could someone please give me an idea of what catering prices look like these days? I'm mostly curious about the cost for hors d'oeuvres and pizza service... does anyone have any leads?? Hallelujah

Anyone here actually dealt with the group Euphoria before?

Also, feel free to drop any other band recommendations. Thanks.

Everyone keeps recommending Vidal to me, too.
As for cakes, the ones I had recently at a wedding from a bakery in Savannah were excellent; I tried several and they were all top-notch.

Has anyone actually hired both Casino and the Phoenix band for weddings before? I’m sure they can both hold a tune, but I’m torn on who really knows how to work a crowd and get everyone out on the dance floor. I'm seriously stuck on this decision. 😁

If you ask me, the absolute best choice is the band WRONG DIRECTION

Ugh, I actually reached out to them to play my gig... and they basically told me no because Monterey is too far of a drive for them.. 😢
So now I’ve booked The Box instead.

I'm still hunting for a photographer. I just need stills—nothing fancy with video—so I'm looking for something budget-friendly. Not the most expensive pro out there, but definitely not some cheap amateur either. Also, the big thing is that I need the photos ready by the same night. If anyone has any leads, I'd really appreciate the help.

I’ll jump in here too... does anyone happen to know how much a restaurant like Ini or an Uber driver usually asks for upfront as a deposit?

We put down a deposit for Ini, and we paid $667 the deposit..
