2016 brides!

Uhhh suppose in fairness they are very good... Out of budget for us, still thinking of the reception music but back to the cd player

Thanks for the help guys! Milly I didn't actually ask in the crane lane but I've been keeping an eye on who they have playing as well as a few other bars around town. Collage I hadn't come across, will check them out!

Papa zitas are over our budget unfortunately! Roaring forties I must look into again actually, never got to see them live

Anyone hear of J90? Or having any reviews, thinking of making an enquiry but no sure how much they'll cost.

Have heard them play before( not at a wedding) and they are quite good. It was a few years back when I was at their gig so not sure if line up has changed since!

We booked these guys http://www.jopetitmusic.com, I remember seeing on their website somewhere that they did a gig in Cork so they probably travel

ooh, they look great!

We've gone through 3 bands now. Two booked, and one didn't bother to call us back to let us know either way, so they are struck off just on rudeness! :mad:
Have to up our game!

Are The Rubix def gone? Did they get a deposit from the other people?

Try Quantum as well. They are based in Meath. I went to see them and found them very good too.

Pink Champagne are another one but they are very popular so could be booked already.

Yeah they rang the guys that booked them to tell them we had a cash deposit ready and they paid the deposit that day. Disappointed to say the least, but on the upside they didn't leave us hanging for weeks and we know exactly what kind of band we want as well!
Thanks, I'll be checking them out!

Ah thats crap, sorry to hear that. Well if its any consolation, i really wanted Pink Champagne but they were booked out. Was raging but then found the Rubix, so was happy with my decision. So maybe you might get someone just as good and be happy with who you found.

There is another band we went to see, Wiseguys. They put on a great show, but not as good a singers as the ones in The Rubix, but were very funny.

I got a few more quotes but they might be a bit out of your budget.

Oh another one, Top of the popz.

J 90 are quite funky,. heard them a few times. Only thing is they can be too loud but you can ask them to turn that down. They are a fun band...

Roaring 40's good too different scale to j90 I would think..

You should change the crane lane sure youll never know unless you ask they will either say yes or no

Where they smitten

They're excellent, my sister booked them on my recommendation, and a good few people who went then booked them for their own wedding :P I should get a commission.. :pac:

It can depend on your printer. You can print on shimmer/shiny card from a laser printer.

I have found that inkjet printers do not print well on sheen card. Images don't pop/colours are off etc.

However laser printers won't print on any card is textured. Does your card have a texture?

It can be an idea to google your printer make and model to find out the acceptable card weights it will take also. Sometimes if the card is too heavy the ink smudges.

No there's no texture, its plain gold card. It's coming out of the printer just fine, just that I left one to dry for an hour and lifted it up and it smudged a bit where I held my thumb (probably the heat and moisture). I have two sitting to dry for 24 hours to see if it makes any difference but I'll check about the card weights!

It could be your printer. Afriend of mine had thesame problem trying to print on shimmer paper as her printer was not suitable for it. What type of printer do you have?

Canon MG2250.
I can see now it's not going to be suitable for the task. Suppose I can use it for templates and tests but I'll have to borrow a printer for the job!

ahayes84 wrote: »

Yes my mom has that printer too and while i could print on shimmer paper the colours were totally off. I'dsay if you had heavier card then i used it wouldn't take at all.

See if anyone has a laser printer. would you have one in work maybe?

OH has one in work they've said we can use (think that's because his boss is a big nosy biddy, even though he's a man :P )
But at least we know what it looks like on the shimmer! Thanks

Have you seen the Modern Souls? They're based in Tipperary but would probably travel. They were our wedding band and unreal, the dancefloor was hopping all night. We didn't want a 'waltz n jive' band so they were perfect! Check them out live if you can as the YouTube videos don't do them justice at all.

Thanks Dolbert, if you have a chance could you send me on a number or email address for them? Can't see one online, just their Facebook!

I am trying to think now I am sure she emailed us the letter for the Venue to sign.. So we had it before we went in to pay the registry fee... We are getting married this year and we done this last year...

Milly33 wrote: »

Just thinking now is it that your venue is not on the list and they need to check it out, or is it a registered spot and you just need to get the owners to sign it

Ah I'd imagine its on a list. This was all done over the phone but the venue has done HSE civil weddings before, quite recently as well. Suppose I was just getting a bit worried because I haven't heard anything from them since booking the date with them - I'd really like to have something solid.

Milly33 wrote: »

Well then it should take long at all... I was looking for the email but for some reason lots of emails get deleted from my gmail accountant it is very frustrating..

You have made your appointment with the HSE or booked you date have you? We defo got an email after we booked saying here is the information you need to have the owners sign and then we had it for when we went in to meet with the civil servant. I would email them and ask them to send it on... Must say I found them very helpful replying to emails.

Yeah just booked the date, not the appointment with them. I'll send an email on Monday!

Hi Thanks for the Advice re J90 just been looking on there site. Can i ask when you book them for a wedding do they tend to play covers or do they play some of there own stuff? Sorry i know your not there manager ha just wondering if they will do a WALTZ at all to keep the oldies happy.

No problem, I asked the same question more to avoid waltz's than anything. They sent me a tracklist they did for one wedding recently for a couple who were 30

congrats sunshine, you are working your way down the list getting things done.. the invites is really up to you I found though that looking at the as soon as you can just so ye can both decide on what ye want as there is so many out there, is the best thing..

We sent out the save the dates but only to people abroad so that they would know in plenty of time if they wanted to book flights and holidays all that goes..

invites oh there are so many sites most defiantly. I am sure some one here can point you in the right direction. If you are looking for the basic styles visat print was great. Or they do quirky things too like magnet type invites that you can pop up on your fridge a friend done this and I must say they were loverly. We went down the route of doing our own and printing..

Ali Express on line too has lots of nice ones, just order in plenty of time...

The save the dates. I think we sent ours out about a month after we booked the official date and had the venue sorted. So lets say we are August now and booked me thinks after Christmas last year so that was well in advance.. So once we defo had the venue and the date that was it out they went

We're making our own as well. I have the actual invite template done, just need to do an RSVP and a small list of places to stay in the area! No idea when we are supposed to send them out, though!

Didn't bother sending Save The Dates, we sent our invitations in late January for a late May wedding, with an RSVP date of February 28th.
