Everything you need for a Midwest wedding

A few days ago, I was totally lost, but thanks to you guys,
I've finally started to figure things out through this forum. I see there are some bands online with promo clips... do they actually have anything decent to show for it??

Honestly, I'm not sure... but they have a Facebook profile—Sax Band. You might want to check there.
They actually played for the New Year's celebration in Indianapolis at the town square, so you might have heard them.

Hey, has anyone here actually dealt with The Beatles from Pittsburgh?

Hey there!🙂 Does anyone happen to know anything about the 5stars bridal boutique over in Pittsburgh??🤷🤷🤷

Nobody's saying anything about the joker band from Indianapolis😢 guys, help me out. Time is flying, and even though the wedding isn't for another year, everyone's already booked up... I Still band Indianapolis?? They look awesome online, though.

Honestly, I’m crossing my fingers for some sunshine too. I haven't decided if I'll pick up Jack from Ivankov or someone else for the florist, but I'll be booking my hair appointment at Studio54 in Columbus on August 1st...

Mary, would you happen to know what the pricing looks like over at Studio 54? From what I gather, you've hosted weddings at Elegant before? If you could, please let me know if you have any insight into their color schemes for the hall—specifically things like the napkins and those types of accents. I actually went to scout out the venue about a month ago, and John mentioned they've expanded their palette to five colors, whereas they previously only offered three. Apparently, since they finished the interior redesign, they've introduced two additional colors into the mix...

We haven't actually reached out to him yet to see what his availability is like; my partner is still a bit hesitant to call because of a few things. I'm not quite sure what the venue looks like either, but as soon as I find out, I'll let you know. Regarding the rates at Studio 54, a wedding hairstyle for mid-length hair is $73, while makeup is $40. Personally, I love that everything is all in one place and it’s pretty close by, so... 🙂

Both bands are great! It really just comes down to your vibe. Honestly, I got a bit tired of Joker because I went to five weddings in a row where they played... and don't get me wrong, they were awesome, the energy was high, etc., but the setlist was exactly the same every single time. We knew exactly which song was coming next...😲
You can't go wrong with either of them...

Omigosh, you'll definitely find someone within a year!🙂

Maybe try Focus from Savannah, or Johnson & Johnson—they're totally great too!

I see... I actually caught a glimpse of the hall once it was fully renovated, and I must say, it is absolutely stunning. When we went there to put down a deposit, we happened to run into him, which gave me the opportunity to see the space, and truly, it is lovely. Once you get more information, please do reach out; I am eager to coordinate the decorations and make sure everything aligns perfectly with the bouquet, the boutonnieres, and my gown—perhaps after midnight, if I can think clearly enough to ensure nothing feels too rushed... though, in my foolishness, I neglected to ask any questions at the time.🙄
That's what I've heard about the studio as well. Back when I was in high school, I used to frequent Picasso (if you happen to know the place), and the wife of the cafe owner used to work at Studio 54, or perhaps she even owned the salon herself—don't quote me on that, mind you. I remember running into her once at the cafe and having a brief chat about manicures and such, and at the time, the prices seemed a bit steep to me... but now, I'm not entirely sure why I'm even asking. If I can't track down a decent esthetician to come to the house, I'll just head over to Victoria's Secret and handle everything in one go, and that should be that.🙂

Hey there! Does anyone know where I can pick up a sprayer? 😕 I'm looking for one of those Christmas ones.... 🤷

The Band is actually great... I don't know if they're still playing, but I know they used to tear it up at the Old tavern every single weekend, so you should go give them a listen

I was thinking the same thing, but honestly, everyone I call is busy🤷

so I figured I better pick up the pace🙂 Thanks for the replies, guys

We've heard so much about how incredible they are,
so I'm really hoping we get to catch them live this weekend...
Unfortunately, they aren't playing at OBP anymore because they're booked up for weddings everywhere.😢

I noticed you were looking into booking a full band—mine just played a wedding recently, and honestly? They weren't great. The music was way too loud, to the point where you could barely even hear the vocals over the instruments!

Ugh, don't even tell me that!!😲 Are you sure we're talking about the same group? There are actually two different bands called 100%!!!! They have the exact same name!!!🤷

Look, I get it, but at the end of the day, that’s on the musicians themselves. For us, the main thing is just making sure they sound good,
and if they happen to be loud, there’s usually a fix for that somewhere..😉

We’re listening to Fleetwood Mac tonight, so we'll see how it goes..🙂
Thanks for the heads-up...🙂

We’ve officially booked the band. I'm 100% certain about this choice... I've heard nothing but glowing reviews, and after actually listening to their tracks myself, I have absolutely zero doubts they'll nail the performance perfectly. 🙂))
Don't even worry about it... 😉

Anyone else head out to see Fleetwood Mac?

Has anyone ever ordered invitations from Adobe—not the one based in Savannah, but the branch out of Indianapolis? I only just realized yesterday that they have an Indianapolis location too, so I was wondering how their quality is.
