Performing in the DFW area since
1985, the group consists of 2 trumpets, a french horn, a
trombone, and a tuba. The pricing information on the website
was different from what I got at the Bridal show, where they
told me that weddings start at $700 and receptions are $350
per hr with a 2 hr minimum. |

anything from soft jazz to Top 40 favorites, with a little
Motown, swing, and even disco thrown in for good measure.

David

are quite annoying, and the website in general doesn't
provide much information. David will fill the air with his
smooth saxophone for your wedding ceremony for $500, and
that includes a gold CD keepsake of your ceremony music,
signed by David himself. Or, have him serenade you during
your limo ride for $100. |

Although their website stinks, that doesn't mean that their
music does too! LoveSong is a 3-person band plus a computer
that makes up for all the other instruments that aren't
covered by Janice, Greg, and Dru. They bill themselves as
"very affordable", but there's no pricing on the website. |
