Splurge or Save: Entertainment

View quoted message Oh thank you for sharing this. I'll reach out to him as well.

View quoted message Hi Annette, I did manage to find a steel pan musician. His name is Kenn Lewis. This is his website link https://kennlewis.com/home. He also has reviews on wedding wire too which is nice. Here is the wedding wire link https://www.weddingwire.ca/wedding-music/kenn-lewis-caribbean-entertainment--e6202 . I have not contacted him yet but I’ve written his name down on my “things to do list”

Have you figured out the steel pan musician? I'm looking for one as well.

Maybe a bit of a splurge - a DJ is a must have for us coming from a Caribbean background and my FH being from an African background, music stems deep in both our cultures. No playlist would ever suffice. We may also hire a live musician to play the steel pan for the ceremony.

Saved we are having a dj, light show, and indoor fireworks but no photo booth or live entertainment

Saved. We didn’t even hire a DJ

Saved!

We went with a preferred vendor from our wedding venue, which turned out to be the most affordable option for us. Though we saved loads of money with them, the quality of service we got was worth so much more!!!

Saving! we’ve hired a friend as our dj!!

Save. My godfather will be our DJ. Bless him

Save. Our DJ was pretty affordable.

Saving mostly. Our DJ was priced a little higher than we anticipated but we'll probably make something to take photos with and get some games for guests to play.

Save. We will be making our own playlist and rent a speaker.

Splurging a bit for the DJ.

I think we saved. We had a ceremony musician but we didn't have anything more since there was no dancing.

Splurged on a Dj that was fantastic.

I bit of a splurge with our DJ - they are also providing photobooth and uplighting

SAVE! We had our laptop set up and rented some speakers and some lights and made our own playlist from spotify.. it was great! we ended up leaving it open for people to make requests and if we thought of a song we would go play it. the party was seriously bumping which was awesome

I would say slurge? Its something people should have but I spent an average amount on it- didn't go cheap on it or expensive.

Saving. We just have our DJ which is reasonably priced.

Splurging. Our DJ is a little more then we budgeted but I feel he will really liven the party.

Saving! FH really wants to DJ his own wedding so that is what we are doing.

Sticking to the basics of just a DJ, so I guess a happy medium between splurging and saving!

Saving 😬 we don’t have much in the entertainment department.

Saving. I just going with good food, good friends and good music.

Saving - we are really trying to have a budget conscious wedding. My FH has a family friend who is a DJ so she will be giving us quite the discount!

Saving big time. Our DJ cost us only $500 for the whole night. It took us forever to find someone that inexpensive in our area.

We’re saving here - no entertainment aside from DJ and Photobooth, and food and drinks!
