Small reception at living seas - what to do for music?

[LeesyUD]

My df and I are looking at doing a custom wedding and reception but only for about 30 people. We most likely will end up having the reception at the living seas. We would love to have Disney music playing in the background but don't want to fork up $1000 for a dj bc no one will be dancing. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions? We were thinking maybe a piano player might be able to play instrumental disney music maybe? Or are there any alternatives to having music playing in the vip lounge that anyone is aware of? My fiance does some dj work himself, so we were also wondering if there is a way for him to play some of the cds on his small system, and tap into a sound system in the lounge, though I know that they charge to bring in an outside dj. But I just wanted to ask if anyone had any suggestions to get around having a dj but still have some magical Disney music?

I think a piano player sounds beautiful. Would be great background music but not overtake a small area.

Just to give you an idea of price, we're having a piano player at our 9/2 wedding at the Living Seas. We're being charged $820 for 3 hours. (There are no additional charges for taxes or service fees.) I was told that any musicians can only be booked in hourly increments, with 3 hours being the minimum. And it's no problem to specify the type of music to be played: we gave our WP a list of some favorite artists and types of music (including some Disney ).

Sorry, I don't know anything about an existing sound system there. But if that's possible, I'm sure that would be the cheapest option.

I'm also having my reception at the Living Seas. There's going to be about 45people there..and also no dancing!!! My WC told me just to have a Disney song list to give to the Pianist I think 3 weeks before the wedding. I know there is a fee to use the existing sound system even if you just want to put on a cd, but I'm not sure how much?!!?!?
