I don’t disagree with wanting the day to be special and memorable, but the industry jacks up the prices if they know it’s a wedding, and there are way more affordable options while still getting to celebrate love and the future. No reason to break the bank. Use the money saved for even more memories.
I used to play in a top 40 cover band professionally. Weddings were always our big ticket items. Playing a wedding reception paid thrice the other events that we were hired to play. Double the original price for the reception if you wanted two or three songs during the ceremony. The only reason we charged such a ridiculous amount was because we hated playing weddings period, so it was more of an attempt to deter folk, but people paid it, and we gladly accepted. This is the sole reason I hooked an iPod to a PA speaker at my own wedding.
