4 Clever Ways To Cut Your Wedding Music CostWedding music is another area that can take up a good trunk of your wedding budget. According to recent statistics, average spending on wedding entertainment in 2009 is $1,500. That is mainly how much couples pay for musicians to perform in their wedding ceremony and receptions. Following are a few tips for you to consider, they could help you cut down the bills for wedding entertainment. Have Your Wedding On A Different DayAgain, this is our number one money saving tip. In case you missed it, having a wedding on a “busy” season or a weekend can mean higher bill tabs. And that makes perfect sense as the demands are higher. So why not move your wedding to an off-peak month and a weekday. Hire Less Famous MusiciansIf you are having your ceremony in a church you may want to ask in advance to see whether they will let you bring in your own musicians to perform. Otherwise you will just have to go with their organist and staff.But if you are having your wedding in other locations (say a park or a beach) then you options are much more flexible. To cut down your cost, consider hiring musicians and bands that are not as famous. An example is student musicians from local colleges. They can be very good, but charges won’t be as high. It’s a good saving strategy. DJ vs. Live BandA live band is usually much more expensive. It normally has multiple performers, and for that comes with a higher price tag. Another thing to consider is a live band usually has a more limited music selection comparing to a DJ. Your guests may be disappointed when the song they requested can’t be played by the band. It’s a good idea to consult your family or friends who had prior experiences. You can also attend weddings to watch the band or the DJ in action before you make the choice. But if you do decide to go with a DJ, read our article on “6 Tips For Hiring a DJ” to get more ideas. Do It YourselfOh, no I am not really asking you to perform at your own wedding, it is just the concept of DO-It-Yourself. If you or your friends have an IPod, you can make a list of music and songs that of your favorite (legally) and hook it up at your wedding locations, and there you have your wedding entertainment. All you need to do is to rent the sound system, which only cost you somewhere from $100 to $250.More Related Articles4 Clever Ways To Cut Your Wedding Music Costs6 Tips To Hire A DJ To Play Your Wedding Music Costs Choose Your Wedding Dance Just Right
