Why not hire a live band? I don't mean a cheesy top 40 cover band, but rather a respectable artist? Plenty of acts take on extra private function gigs.
yeah, we thought about this a bit, but we both love music and i'd rather hear a mix of our favorite tracks than some indie band we convinced to trek out to charlottesville
thanks for the suggestions so far... we're also just thinking about paying someone from DC to come down and do the job... kosmo or brennser, you available in october
