Hear hear over here as well- Just last September, I did a 3 hour gig
with a harpist for a wedding rehearsal dinner held in a winery "castle"
(imported & rebuilt- stone by stone, from Italy). They eventually fed
us, but NO WINE! In NAPA COUNTY California!
In 1977 we played at the Mexican Embassy in Washington, D.C. The amount
of food that was served & wasted was staggering. We saw the substantial
remains of what looked like a two meter salmon get hauled back to the
garbage area, and when all was over we were handed a few bucks to go out
to a restaurant.

Been there, done that! Which is why, when I got married, I paid the
Toronto Consort to play my our wedding music AND invited them all to
our reception afterward. Of course, it helped that they were all old
friends of mine.
