Recommend a good band, singer, etc for reception (Part 2)

[peachlipstick]

I can recommend the UPLB Chorale Ensemble, since when they are not in concerts or competitions here and abroad they also sing in weddings. And they are very good and affordable. Friend ko kasi yung isa sa mga members nila. I will definitely book them on my wedding with the exception of my friend kasi kasali sa mga abay ko. Haha 
You may contact them through this email: roijin.suarez@gmail.com
Happy preps!

naghahanap rin ako ng band into New wave and Jazz music

[truthfruit]

i also asked Infinite Soul acoustic regarding sa host, nagrecommend lang sila ng magagaling daw na host like Darlene Salazar, Badz Gacuma, Joy catubig, Thoffy Consulta ,  Ayie and the other one is Richard Agtarap. Better get daw subok na daw nila na magagaling. Try to google or check them on facebook na lang sis.

Sound salad. So far consistent naman silang magaling sa weddings na na-attend ko.

[angel_love]

Thanks sis truthfruit! Will check!

[jekay]

hi mga sis! anyone here knows if Paolo Santos accepts booking for weddings and how much is his rate? I'm just curious.

TIA!

Hi mga sis! Madaming bands ako nag-inquire for my wedding and syempre i want yung swak sa budget and magaling rin. A friend of mine recommended Infinite Soul Acoustic and so i checked on them. My fiance and I liked their music and decided to book them. We talked to them via email, had exchange of convo, agreed to pencil book our wedding date and then nag inquire na ako how to pay the reservation fee, plus booking form etc. sabi nila to follow daw basta na-book na ako sa date so okay na kami ni h2b. Then just last month nag reply sila sa email ko na nakikipagmeet na ko for payment etc. biglang sabi nila "na-overlooked" daw nila yung booking ko may iba daw sila na-book at nag suggest na lang sila ng ibang band for us. It was ridiculous! How did that happen and according sa thread ng msgs namin ok na yung reservation (hindi nila sinasagot pag saan anong bank account kami pwede deposit para sure). To my dismay I replied to the guy in charge sa email na we are very disappointed and we said no thanks sa suggestion nila. Highblood lola nyo, ofcourse because we expected them to play for our wedding kasi we like them a lot, tapos eto. Hay. mga sis, alam ko magaling sila and all, baka sa akin lang nangyari 'to but then sana hindi na maulit sa iba.. sila pinili namin out of 8 na magaling rin. nabook na tuloy yung mga ibang pagpilian namin sana sila na lang napili ko Help sino pa kaya yung available na wedding band? im looking over sa thread sobrang helpful nito. mabuti na lang. <3

[saintyumi18]

Hanap ka na lang ng iba sis. Nung maginquire din ako dati, sabi nila hindi nila priority ang pencil bookings kasi marami daw drama sa pencil bookings at di raw nila kasalanan if may on the spot bookings na mauna kahit umoo na sila sayo, lahat daw kasi ng inquiries kinakausap talaga ni Monica at nagiisa lang sya sumagot sa lahat ng inquiries,  kaya we decided agad at nagpabook kami agad during the fair since napanood naman namin lahat ng videos and napanood namin sila on the spot. Wala namang hassle samin hanggang sa matapos. I think they just need another helping hand for inquiries,In demand na kasi sila ngayon kaya di rin maiiwasan mga ganyan. Nakakastress talaga ikasal, patience lang sis baka hindi lang kayo meant for each other. Iba talaga ang pencil bookings kasi wala pa naman kayong deposit sa band kaya di talaga nila kayo uunahin, unless may contract na kayo sa kanila na hindi na sila dapat tumanggap pa ng iba.

FYI, we will be having our second wedding pero sila pa rin kinuha namin kasi sobrang gusto ko sila and madaling kausap si Monica. Ka-facebook ko rin sya kaya updated kami sa plans ko sa wedding ko. Hanap ka na lang ng banda na makakasundo mo, di rin magandang magfeedback ng negative kung pencil book lang pala ang transaction nyo.

Questions lang mga sis, iba pa ba bayad ng after party music if gaganapin sa ibang venue after our reception? Or need pa naming kumuha ng ibang banda para hindi naman mapagod banda namin? Hindi ko alam if kukuha pako ng iba or magpapaadd na lang ako ng bayad . Any suggestions mga sis?

[kaisha]

sis @truthfruit -- you might want to consider this band, if you're looking for a someone who plays new wave.. The Edralins

hi everyone if you're into new wave, mod, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's music I highly recommend THE EDRALINS-- they are based in Baguio, but they do accomodate bookings from other places. They're really good.. di kayo mag sisisi pag kinuha niyo sila.. they also do alternative if you have alternative songs in mind you wanted to be played on your wedding.

At times they would also play here in Manila.. Every year di sila nawawala tumugtog sa Fete dela musique..

when in Baguio you can check them out playing at giligans, 18 [textspeak!] etc..

[jjo13]

That is one lesson na na-learn ko, wag na pencil book, dapat bayad agad. The problem was they did not give me a date kahit kami na mag adjust just to pay them na for reservation fee, kasi sure book na talaga kami sa kanila.. kaya it was very disappointing sa part namin ni h2b. Hindi naman siguro negative feedback, more of constructive criticism lang ito sis. I think you are right, we are not meant for them. hehe! I have other bands in mind, waiting lang ako ng kung available sila kasi December na wedding ko medyo madami na event! huhuhu

[saintyumi18]

Mabilis talaga sis mabook mga bands ng December, hot month for weddings kasi, dapat talaga maaga pa lang, book agad if sure ka na talaga sa suppliers mo. I think kaya most of the bands like Sound Salad and Infinite Soul Acoustic may mga ibang teams na kasi indemand talaga sila. Hayaan mo na sis, at least marami pang choices lalo na may darating na bridal fair this September, punta ka dun maraming bands din dun. Sabi nga nila,  "Keep calm and be married"

[teyish]

 I commend infinite Soul Acoustic for being the best in our wedding day. Napaiyak ang mga tao sa ganda ng bridal march song.

Gusto ko yan sis. Keep calm and be married. hehe! OO nga attend kami sa September para sure, baka may discounts pa! hopefully cross fingers mameet namin yung meant for us na band

>> Ask ko lang pala. okay lang kaya yung song for walking down the isle is song talaga na i-play lang? hindi ba less dramatic?

[saintyumi18]

jjo13, naku sis ask mo muna sa church mo if pwedeng may lyrics or wala. Like sa St. James the Great ayaw nila ng may lyrics yung song choices namin kaya nagpalit kami ng church. Mas ok talaga may lyrics para mafeel mo, pero before kasi halos di ko na naririnig ang music, di ko na nga namalayan tapos ko na bridal march ko. Di mo rin talaga mamamalayan kasi iba nasa isip mo nun during your bridal march.

Teyish, anong bridal march song mo? Share mo naman experience mo. Kamusta pala sila sa reception nyo? ok rin ba? During our wedding, marami ding natuwa sa mga guests ko, they keep on asking san ko daw sila napanood na bar, sabi ko sa bridal fair ko sila nakita.

[teyish]

saintyumi18 the bridal march was "shes's the one" super galing ni herbert of infinite soul kasi dun nya napaiyak si hubby. Nakakatawa nga si mom in law kasi nung kumanata na ng Ama Namin sabi nya, ano ba yan nakaCD, tapos pinagalitan daw siya ni Kuya, ano ka ba mi, ayun yung kumakanta oh. Hehe. Sa Reception naman super ganda rin ng mga songs and really exceptional ang talent ng band, sayang nga lang that time Monica was not there kasi sunud sunod daw ang gig kaya nagkasakit. Yung Baby. I love Your way na nirequest ko super ganda rin. Basta, everyone after the wedding was so amazed sa. Infinite Soul Acoustic, two thumbs up!

[noveetwenty3]

yay! Nakarelate much ako dito, we also got them during our wedding. Akala rin ng mga guests ko at ng mom ko Cd sila kahit sa ceremony music namin. Sobrang daming nakijam sa after party, pati si madir nakikanta sa kanila. I also highly recommend Infinite Soul Acoustic. Naimagine ko Teyish face ng mom mo and your brother's reaction pa.

[escobarina420]

i dooper agree on this.  @noveetwenty3

[cheezums]

Can anyone recommend an acoustic band with sax like Intimate Soul Acoustic?  Yung cheaper sana, below 10k. Intimate Soul is 16k eh. TIA!

[kisses1417]

Feedback naman po, may nagfeedback kasi sakin na dapat daw strings na lang kinuha ko, baka daw parang bar ang wedding ko kasi band ang kinuha ko. Naka attend kasi ako ng strings dati, parang hindi masyado napapansin eh and parang natatabunan lang though initially yun talaga ang gusto ko. I booked the full band of infinite soul. Electronic naman daw yung drums kaya di maingay. Post naman kayo sis ng actual link ng wedding nyo na kumanta sila kung meron sana tia

[cheezums]

I have seen Infinite Soul in a wedding and i really liked them! Dun nga ako nagkagusto na magka-sax player sa wedding party namin. Ang laking factor sa ambiance nung music na yun, jazz / acoustic type.
