Hi, Folks a bit of a weird thing to ask, but someone in the Basschat community might know someone or be able to point me in the right direction, they may even be a lemonrock for Latvia  

I am fortunate enough to be getting married this year,  In August, to a Latvian who's been living in the UK since she was 8,  So while we've both spent a fair bit of time there our local knowledge and that of the music scene is non-existent. 
We are both pretty alternative and planning a small ( 45 people) wedding at an ethnographic centre about 45 minutes outside of Riga near Ādaži. 

We have a wedding planner helping us as our boots on the ground" and the venue is amazing.  https://gungas.lv/ but costs are as you can imagine already spiraling ... the moment the word wedding is used anywhere.

So the Ask, I am looking for help finding a Latvian-based band, to do alternative leaning covers, so punk/rock/emo/ classic-rock, or some help in finding local resources in and around Riga or Ādaži ( unlikely) Where we can hire PA gear, backline etc.
I'd also really love it if they would let my band and I come up and do a couple of numbers, (2G,1B, Drums and a vocalist ) I imagine we'd fly our own guitars out ....  but I'm under strict orders from the future Mrs Synth  "quite sensibly" that I'm needed elsewhere for much of the event so we definitely will not be the main attraction.

No offers of "we'll play for free" if you fly us, please ... The venue is at accommodation capacity, so much so that much of my family arent on the list.
