While waiting for Malissa, our cake baker, I heard some jovial tunes being played on an accordion and snapped a few pics of this guy - not really a busker as such, as he was being paid by the mall to add some atmosphere - how cool is that?
After our appointment, I just had to speak to him and find out more - perhaps he could even play out our wedding!
His name is Rian Britz and he plays in a couple of bands - one called The Oh So Serious - which you really should check out, they have such cool music - and Swing Party, which doesn't have a website. However, Rian was kind enough to send me some of his recordings. I was amazed!
But the problem is that we already have a DJ, paid in full.
What do you think? Can there be two different sources of music at one wedding?
Flip and I then proceeded to muck about, because that's just what we do.
I love him.

I've never heard of this mall so I really need to get out and explore more.
Of course you can have different music at a wedding. We had a band and a DJ (for when the band took breaks and vice versa). My cousin had a sax player, a live band and a DJ all at different stages. I just love live music at a wedding and highly recommend it! If you can afford it, do it. I think this guy will be great after the ceremony before the reception.
Two different types of music is great. I had a band and DJ. You could play live music while the guests are waiting at the reception for you to arrive.
p.s this mall reminds me of Willowbridge in Cape Town.
