Reception Band: Booked!


Yey! We finally have music performers for our wedding. It was last week that I finalized our booking with Crossroads Acoustics for our wedding reception. We first heard them at Aiza's and Ron's wedding and we liked how they performed in that event. Both the male and female vocalist had soothing voices. We didn't pay much attention though, since we're not looking for performers then.  

We were set to get our colleague from work to render a few songs during our reception. However, when we listened to his song covers online, we didn't quite like his singing style. It's more fit for shows and competitions which will then be too distracting for a sweet occasion like a wedding. 

That said, we considered the band from the RonAiz wedding. The rates they gave to Aiz for a Manila wedding (they are Cavite-based so they don't charge OOT fees for Tagaytay events), both church and reception, is twice our allotted budget. It will naturally be lower if we just get them for our reception. It was hard to decide at that point since I also want a singer for my bridal march. 

Weeks later, thru w@w, I was reminded that the fee we paid for San Agustin already includes a singer and a pianist. I was excited upon learning that because it means that we can get Crossroads Acoustics at a lower rate since they'll only perform during our reception.

Adrin immediately approved of the booking so I proceeded to personally contact Glenn (band leader). Their rate is already inclusive of their transportation fees and good for 25 songs! Next thing I know, we're already finalizing the terms of agreement through the draft contract Glenn sent me. After which, I made the downpayment to close the deal.

Another one down, few more items to go! Woohoo!


Cheers!
