The music director for Trump Jr. and Wanessa about the wedding
Event planner and band leader Izzy Martin has played on his share of extravagant weddings and bar mitzvahs, but nothing like the Trump wedding. He could only sum up the wedding as spectacular.
How the event planner “got hired”
The band, Topaz Orchestra got hired by the bride-to-be when they played her cousin’s wedding in Monroe Township. Wanessa liked him because he could do many types of music and handle DJ, 10-piece for the ceremony and a 16-piece band for the reception.
Trump with a fat pay check
Quote: “The Trumps paid Martin about $20,000, an increase from the $5,000 to $11,000 he usually commands, depending on the number of musicians required.”
