Subject: [External] [Callers] Re: Fees for a wedding dance. Contra Callers 
Digest, Vol 136, Issue 5

I may waive or halve my fee for a close friend but I always ensure the 
three-piece band gets their full fee. With sound and travel of 1-2 hours I 
charge $2000 to $2500 with half up front to hold the date. (Date is not 
guaranteed until deposit is paid.) We are the entertainment. We take a dinner 
party and turn it to a memorable, joyful, playful event that brings two 
families together. We are there for four or five hours working hard to make 
that event a success regardless of alcohol, children, or lousy dance floors. 
All the same to me--that's my job. I have spent hours pulling the band, sound, 
the couple's vision and program together and no matter how inexpensive the 
wedding, we are still often the cheapest piece.
