i''m getting a little worried about the band we booked--not sure if it''s just bridal paranoia, or something of concern.
our band is very reasonably priced (for east coast) so I''m hoping I don''t find out there''s a reason why. They came highly recommended from a very good friend of mine, although she married 8 yrs ago. That plus price seemed like a good bet.
The band has full time jobs so sometimes the band leader is hard to get in touch with. He does always eventually call me though. I''ve been asking for a DVD of the band for sometime (just so we can have a reference..all other bands sent ones to me) and he said he would send one if we signed a contract, which I did. Now he says he''ll look into it, I can look at website clips. This kind of annoys me. He also says we don''t really need to plan anything/chat again till 4-6 wks before the wedding. This seems awfully close to me. What about my playlist? Special songs? Getting to know me so that he knows what vibe to go for at wedding? Am I expecting too much? Even though they are cheap for a band, it''s still $3K plus. I''ve also asked when they''re playing next so I can see how they are live, but he seems not too quick to get back on that either. I think I''m just nervous about the unknown, and with him not being overly responsive, it''s all adding to my fears. Is all of the stuff he saying standard? If so, I''ll know it''s just a case of bridal madness!
