If your budget is short and you cannot afford a trio or even a duo, you can consider a solo musician. Choosing a solo musician at a wedding is the best idea if you are short on budget.
You can also consider a classical guitarist or a harpist at the wedding. Usually, they cost far less than a duo or trio. The music played on the violin is always sweet and suits most weddings. The solo musicians are often a talking point for your guests as it is a bit unusual.
Try not to consider students
Be cautious about considering a student band at your wedding. They can help cut your costs but hiring a student band as “playing with fire”. Most of the students are not professionals and do not know how to behave properly.
You cannot ask them for running your venue or taking care of your food. The local student band is not recommended. We know that they can be cheap but they are not professional.
If you really want to go with students, make sure they are from music schools. It is better to hire a low performer than an amateur wedding violinist.
PA system
Most of the bands use a pa system which can be very great. It can help the musician play the music while they are packing away or when they are having a break. It can help you save your money for a DJ.
Moreover, don’t hesitate when it comes to negotiating with the band. For instance, if you have just 500$ budget for the music, consult the band to see what they can do in the budget. Just be creative and ask them to manage some format out of your budget.
