can anyone recommend any ceremony musicians that are reasonably priced? I'm open to a harpist, trio, quartet. I'd like to pay around 500 dollars or less for 2 hours...THANKS!!!

I contacted the San Jose State University orchestra directors and asked for recommendations.  Mine graduated and moved on, but they will have good people to use.  I used a single cellist, who did a great job and traveled to Gilroy from Berkeley and played for $125.  College kids are cheap and, at that level, very talented.  They already often own tuxes and suits because of the nature of orchestra.

San Francisco music conservatory has a program called music to go which is really reasonable.

I used skyline string trio.

Hi I had a duo for under 500.  Message me if you'd like the contact info.

Awesome deal, pinkgerbers!

And ooo, good to know about the SF conservatory, demy!

I called the UC Berkeley school of music and they had a compiled list of students who were interested in performance gigs. I got two violinists for $150 for 1 1/2 hours.
