Sarabande Meeting

We had a meeting with Tim, the leader of Sarabande Jazz, last night. We thought we had pretty much every detail figured out, until we starting going over everything with Tim. He's willing to MC all evening (even though the band doesn't start up until 7:30 or so). This made us very happy, but it meant we had all kinds of new decisions to make.

We'll have him announce the wedding party, play during Heidi's breaks and announce the cake cutting and toasts. (Uncle Art might actually be able to enjoy the reception this way!)

He played some tunes for us (we always love that) and gave Andrew and I an MP3 of the music for our first dance song, so that we can practice dancing. He also gave Andrew a copy of the crazy fusion/techno mix he suggested we walk in to. I vetoed that one pretty quickly, but Andrew liked it a lot. It was definitely cool, very Andrew's style. It was way over the top, though. It doesn't go with anything else in the wedding at all. Sorry Andrew.

All in all, it was a pretty great meeting. Hearing some of Tim's ideas really got us excited about the reception. I think Sarabande is going to make the reception unforgettable.
