    A friend of mine was going to play our ceremony music for us (for free).  She got an amazing opportunity out of the country starting a few weeks before the wedding, so she can no longer play for us.  EEEK!  FI and I don't really know anyone else who could do it.  The church organist may or may/not be able to come through at such late notice. 

    What to do . . .  (and we are extremely budget conscious)?

    Check out craigslist!  Or you can call a high school and talk to an orchestra teacher--they may have suggestions!

    We used a CD for our ceremony.  The synagogue was able to hook it up to their speakers so it filled the room.  Might that be an option for you?

    If the church has a choir director, ask for references of organists at area churches.

    You can also find someone at a local music college who'd do it for less, but you run the risk of having someone who doesn't have experience playing for weddings.

    Good luck!!

    @2dBride:That sounds like a good back-up plan.  Did you have someone assigned to que the music, etc.  I'm not sure if they have a sound system.  But we'll have to work that out if the time comes.
