Recommend a good band, singer, etc for reception (Part 3)

[parpol_haze]

Any reviews po ng N-Tune Band? Matunog name nila sa Wawies. I inquired and 15k lang Quartet nila. Minus 1k pa if booked early and 2k less naman sa Quintet and 6 pc band. Mabait pa kausap si Ms. Carolyn.

Better read those true reviews sa w@w girls kesa dito. Btw, Infinite Soul Acoustic was my chosen wedding band , nakita ko naman sila magperform bago ako magdecide. and wala naman akong ipit effect na reklamo kayo Monica na singer . Also, we have seen Monica & Madz in person kumanta . sa wedding ko and my 4 friends ko na narefer si Infinite Soul and sa isang event ng friend ko naman si Madz, and you will be the  judge din naman inperson ang mas maganda ang boses and physical attributes and may dating sa stage. Mas credible din ang feedbacks sa w@w kesa dito.

@escobarina Super agree sis haha marami ngang fake account dito na sinisiraan si Infinite Soul, keri na yan 2013 pa yata may ganyan na dito and tinatawanan na nalang din ng ibang sisses dito na nabook na sila, gumagawa ng fake issues dito  so better check waw reviews para mas  kapani-paniwala. Ive heard naka-20 bookings naman si Infinite Soul sa bridal fair this weekend so i think mas maniniwala ako dun.  Infinite Soul Acoustic is way way better for me and hello di naman totoo yung issue nila na ipit boses kay Monica.  Napanood ko na sila siguro ng 3 times na sa wedding din ng mga referred waw friends ko , iba pa yung nung wedding ko mismo. Maganda kasi sa bandang to kinaibigan nya talaga kami ng asawa ko kahit after the wedding naaalala pa rin nila ako .

[winkar22]

^ I didn't mean na siraan si Infinite Soul. Its just my opinion. And I'm happy na marami silang nabook during the bridal fair. Hindi ko pa naman sila napapanood live so baka nga iba ang tunog versus sa napapanood online. Peace to everyone.

That being said, meron bang band na may cello na Tagaytay based din? Or baka meron sina Infinite Soul or Madz? I really want a cielo sound during my wedding march

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and preference. Kung san ka magiging mas masaya na supplier or kung sino mas pasok sa taste and need mo sila ibook mo. I don't know about fake accounts pero hindi nga maganda yan, it's not right to create bogus accounts just to put anyone down. On that note also, please avoid na iinclude pa sa comparison ang "physical attributes" ng supplier. I just find it insulting kung basehan mo mas maganda or sexy si ganito kaysa kay ganito kaya sya binook ko. Would you want someone to judge you base on your looks instead of your skill set and what you can do? Just sayin.. 😊

[raiizea]

^^ay napa wow ako sa fake accounts dahil sa pagcriticize ng isang band. Haha.. sana open po tayo dito sa opinions, wala naman kaming intention na siraan sila, magaling din naman sila, and yun nga madaming nagboobook kaya madalas dun nagbabase. Yes, totoong mas physically lamang infinite sa other bands kaya sila nasa listahan ng pinagpilian namin, but still, mas importante talaga samin yung boses, kasi yun ang showcase talaga ng isang band plus syempre magaling tumugtog, huli sa list ang itsura kasi hindi naman pageant ang wedding para physical aspect ang tingnan, skills pa din ang number 1. when we do review the videos, nagbago lang yung rate nila samin. There's this video na kahit kelan ata yung title ng kanta, pinapakinggan namin and waiting for the higher notes nung singer, hindi niya naggawa, binaba niya yung notes kung ano lang yung kaya niya. Siguro iba nga sa live, pero yung maganda sa video kasi, i believe, maganda and mas maganda sa live, and nakinig din ako ng halos walang echo yung mic na gamit ng mga bands, kasi dun talaga napapansin kung maganda yung voice, again, its just our opinion, i respect kung maganda para sa inyo yung napili niyong band, but please respect our opinion, hindi naman porket nagcriticize, sinisiraan na, plus may pahabol na fake account pa. i'm also a member of wawies, at hindi to fake account. peace.

[exquisitegem]

I agree. There are positive reviews and there are negative. Our opinions may differ. What is okay to you may not be okay to someone else. And we respect that. Off lang if we mention someone's personal attribute na. It's the skill naman that we are considering. I'm also a member of wawie.

[Genesisbabelove]

+1 ako sa skills dapat talaga yan basehan , pero swerte mo na lang makabook ka ng banda na may skills na, maganda at gwapo pa singers nyo, i think thats the point of escobarina. And telling na beware lang din dito, that time kasi na naghahanap ako ng bands noon maraming issues yang 2 bands sa isat isa. So  sinabi ko sa sarili ko na dapat mapanood ko ng live mga bands na may reviews dito before ako magdecide and nagcheck din ako ng videos nila. In terms of skills, magaling naman talaga ang Infinite Soul Acoustic and to think hindi lang tayo basta magfix sa 2 options dahil malawak ang options sa bridal fairs at waw at hindi lang Infinite Soul at Madz and Dhzei (pero sila talaga laging pinagcocompare dito pansin ko) . Musician din kmi ng hubby ko noon sa church at sa jazz band namin kaya I can know whether there is something wrong with the singer's voice or not, sawa na rin ako sa mga boses Regine or Ogie, i want a unique voice, I think that's Monica's style may pagkajazz and modern, come to think of it di ko rin need  mga birit birit singers sa wedding,  since the main focus of the people is still sa couple and she sounded cool on that, sabi ko sa coordinator ko ayoko magmukhang singing competition wedding ko. Come to think of it, sa waw at sa bridal fairs mas makikita mo may mga ibang bands din sinasabi like 3rd avenue, sound salad and infinite soul, sila mga nakita kong package deal interms of skills + physical attributes . May mga pricey lang talaga and we respect them kaya dun kami sa medyo affordable pero package wise with skills + physical attributes na, and to think highly recommended din sila ng coordinators and hmua ko noon at sobrang bait saken ni Miss Monica since before magpabook kami and hanggang ngayon nakikita ko pa rin sya sa weddings ng mga nirefer kong friends ko sa kanya. sabi nga nila, choose wisely!

By the way, the one na naghahanap ng cielo, i highly recommend Manila String Machine or String Session for you.

[raiizea]

^^i got your point there but still, yung bigla na lang sabihin na naninira at gumagamit ng fake account medyo iba lang yung dating na nun. Wala din nabanggit dito na pangit kumanta ang infinite soul, its just an observation and opinion. We are all allowed here to give out our opinion. Ibang usapan yung talagang naninira ng supplier if your happy with your supplier wala namang nagsabing magpalit kasi pangit hehe.. it's merely exchanging opinions lang naman, nasa sayo pa rin ang decision to choose. Sabi nga nila kanya kanyang trip yan

[exquisitegem]

Then let this forum be a healthy exchange of ideas and observations. We can not say "hindi reliable" just because one's opinion is different from ours.

[Ziyi]

The reason why niraise ko yung pagcompare sa kanila based on their "physical attributes" is naging issue na yan before dito. A bride made a comment na something like "at mas hamak naman na mas maganda si Monica kay Madz" which was way out of the line na in my opinion. Kaya sabi ko let's not include na yung ganung basehan, in general, sa mga wedding suppliers or kung pwede sarilinin na lang..    

[raiizea]

^^i agree! Hindi naman porket iniiscreen yung sa wawie group at hindi nakaayon yung opinion sa opinion ng nakararami  e yun ang mas reliable. Hays.. lahat naman may kanya kanyang taste. At mas madami nga kong nabook galing dito kesa sa wawie. Kaya i'm really thankful sa forum na to

[winkar22]

Thank you for the recommendation @Genesisbabelove!

[parpol_haze]

^Sis Winkar22, parehas tayo gusto ko din may cello kasi dagdag romantic feels Check out mo din Emmanuel Strings and MuzikQlass. Kasama din sila sa list ko kasi maganda feedback sa wawies tapos di pa ganun ka-mahal. Quartet ni Emmanuel Strings is 14k while 20k naman kay MuzikQlass.

[winkar22]

Thank you, thank you @parpol_haze! 

May something kasi sa sound ng cello. Napapa-emote ako everytime makakarinig. Haha!

[ketchup22]

Can Sound Salad / Infinite Soul do covers of Santana songs.. ?

[sparklingjewel]

Hi! Does anyone here have experience getting some VIP performers for their wedding?
Ask ko lang how you were able to get in touch with them and find out their rates?

I was asked to book Gary V and i sent a message to his agency but sadly didn't get a response.
Nabalitaan ko lang na 650k daw ang rate nya for >5 songs. Wow!
Hahaha considering other artists too like Lea Salonga if you have leads.

Thank you in advance!

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

I only have good things to say with Madz and Dzhei, limited lang communications namin, I inquired, they gave their rates, I paid, they asked me the list of songs, done! After that I let my Coordinator contact them na, luckily they work in the same area kaya madalas naman sila magkasama sa weddings. Stress free! Yet they exceeded our expectations, so happy I got them, parang late na ata tong review ko, pero geez, imagine Only Time by Enya ang song when I walked down the aisle, honestly hinde ako masyado nag expect, enthralling for me yung version nya, naisip ko enough na yung instruments sakin kung di man makanta the way I want it, and kung maitawid lang ang kanta saya ko na haha, but boy oh boy, grabe isa ata yung pagkanta nila sa ikinaiyak ng halos lahat ng guests haha! Galing! Very professional too, on time sila and walang hassle. Highly recommended! Sulit na sulit! 

[ohcmon]

Inquired with Madz and Dzhei as well but I never got a response.

We got MuzikQlass quartet instead, instruments only. Parehas kami ni h2b ayaw nang may kumakanta and we think mas romantic ang feels kung instrumental lang. Si Manila String Machine our first choice, but super mahal! Had to let go, first supplier heartbreak ko sila haha.

[shiftless]

Any feedback on The Goatcake, a Batangas-based band? This is one of the few places na meron silang mention. Gusto ko na sana sila i-book, pero I just want to make sure. Thank you po!
