I would second that. These are among my all time favorite klezmer
recordings.

In the support of live music being the best option, you should consider
asking around. Depending on where you live, there are a lot of good, local
klezmer musicians. A fair and reasonable fee for a small band tends to be
much less of an expense for a wedding than caterers, flowers or clothing. I
know this to be a fact, being a working musician who plays lots of weddings.
