Band Search Resumes

As some of you know I had temporarily put the band hunt on hold for a bit because I was getting discouraged when they were telling me I was too proactive and looking to book them way too early based on how far out our date was.

I had put out some inquiries via a website that Groomzilla had found, Gig Masters, a few months ago and many of my quotes had been denied because they were not booking out that far. Yes I was disappointed but completely understood as one band manager explained to me that band members come and go so frequently and that by the time our wedding came around we may be listening to a whole different band. I suppose this is a safety net for both the band and for us as well.

Any who, one of the bands I had put an inquiry in with through the gigmasters site was very persistent and I appreciated his follow up and advice when he reached out to me via a phone call. He gave me a couple of upcoming dates that they had scheduled to play and it just so happens that they are playing next weekend the 21st at a local upscale bar/restaurant. I have had the date penciled in on my calendar for months now and finally it is just around the corner! This is the band we are going to see this weekend Think Big

I hope we both decide that we like them but I think I am going to have trouble getting through to Groomzilla that what we are looking for is a “wedding band” and not a “rock band”. These are two COMPLETELY different genres, although how cool would it be to have Paul McCartney perform at our wedding?! Whoa for a second there I thought I was the future Princess to be, Kate Middleton, back to reality for you Bridezilla!
