While many brides are fretting over their wedding colors or centerpieces, they all have the same opinion regarding their wedding music.
String quartets are the number one choice of brides and grooms according to Chandler Judkins, owner of the most popular musician contractor company in Las Vegas called Las Vegas Wedding Music.
Las Vegas Wedding Music receives more requests for string quartets than any other music group, even though they offer dozens of options including jazz quartets, piano soloists, big bands, and more.
“Our string quartets alone have doubled, if not, tripled within the last two years,” Judkins said. “Las Vegas is fast becoming an elegant city to be married in and that means, more string quartets.”
DJs are known for their affordability and usually nothing more. So couples on a budget might hire a DJ to save a dime, but they are oftentimes disappointed in the service and atmosphere. Those same brides and grooms are quick to state that if they had the funds, a string quartet would be their number one choice of wedding music.
However, string quartets are also starting to outrank DJs in costs. In Las Vegas, DJ costs are skyrocketing and in many major wedding chapels, couples have to foot a $2,000 to $5,000 bill. Judkins thinks this is outrageous.
“Las Vegas Wedding Music will never gouge couples to make a buck just because this is Las Vegas,” Judkins said. “We want to promote live music so we keep our prices as low as possible. Any string quartet hired for a wedding should cost less than $1,000 for a few hours of performing, and if the quartet is only for the ceremony, it should cost less than $800.”
Judkins said that couples should check prices before making a commitment on their wedding music. Couples should also be careful because sometimes wedding coordinators aren’t always honest about live musician prices.
“It’s easier for wedding coordinators to use the same DJ for every wedding, so they don’t have to bother finding a band,” Judkins said. “So many times they state that a string quartet will cost a lot more because of the time they will end up putting in to find that string quartet. They often take a cut off the musician’s price because they have to work to find the perfect band.”
Judkins advises brides to find their own string quartet through a wedding musician contractor. That way they know the musicians will show up, they can hear sound demos of the band, and brides won’t have to pay a coordinator hidden costs to do the work for them.
To see an example of a musician contractor’s site, go to www.LVWeddingMusic.com.
“Those who come to me are the brides and grooms who truly know that nothing compares to live music for their wedding,” Judkins said. “No matter what DJs offer, they can never offer the same benefits that a live string quartet offers.”

A Jew is a person whose mother is Jewish, although various streams of Judaism dispute this statement and designate that Jewish patrimony can be acquired through the father as well. Jews are not a race but a diverse mix of diverse races, nationalities, and cultures. Jews are truly multi-cultural and multi-ethnic people; however, within this mix, there are distinct ethnic groups such as the Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews. They make up the vast majority of the Jewish People. Most American Jews are of Ashkenazi origin. Typically originating from Eastern Europe or the former Soviet Union American Jews could be classified as a separate ethnic group, and as a result there are the characteristic stereotypes, although there are exceptions. A Jew is not a person who practices Judaism, although most Jews do hold on to some form of Jewish practice or cultural custom. A Jew is not an Israeli and an Israeli is not necessarily a Jew. An Israeli is a citizen of the state of Israel. While inhabitants of Israel are Jewish, there are also non-Jewish citizens of Israel.
A Jew is not necessarily a citizen of the state of Israel. Every Jew who is willing to immigrate to Israel must apply for and be granted citizenship to the state just like all the rest of us, although mostly Jewish people are awarded citizenship rather easily. The Jewish faith is one of the most tolerant in the world. Made up of courageous, moral and highly intelligent believers, the Jewish faith has been able to triumph over many centuries of cruel persecution by ignorant, envious representatives of other religions. The source of anti-Semitism in the world today is the result of Jewish success in social, educational and economic areas. Jews value morality, education, and hard work. They care for their families and are pleasant people to be around, if you’re not hostile racist certainly as intellectual superiors, Jews can succeed in all jobs. The presence of such a successful, admirable culture intimidates many. Despite abundant repression Jews remain tolerant and successful in all areas.
Jews are not cheap; they're just smart enough to spend their money on the right things, like education and accommodation, things that will bring returns in the future. They care about their families and peace in their country and will try to protect these values by any possible means. So there’s nothing wrong with trying to defend Israel from the ignorant Palestinian government which reasoning is behind many people’s understanding. All the stereotypes about Jews are right in the same way that Christian people can be cheap and big-nosed, which means it's not right about all the Jews.
