Hey folks,
I've just been asked to call a wedding, and I don't have a good idea for what the
going rate for these things is. What do you all charge for a wedding (say, 30 mins-an hour
of dancing)? (And how might you adjust this rate for NYC?)
Thanks,Maia

New subject: [Callers] Rates for private events (weddings etc)?
I would ask for about 3x more for a wedding then for an evening of dancing:
* weddings are a lot of hassle
* you're only playing/calling for a short time, but you need to be there
very early and schedules are not reliable at weddings -- this may be worse
for bands than callers
* people spend so much at most weddings these days that they're typically
willing to pay whatever (once I let someone negotiate me down a lot by them
saying they were trying to save money and when I got therei found out that
the food cost more per guest then they were paying each of us)
* I'd charge much less or free for a friend, especially if I would be at
their wedding anyway: it's like a wedding gift
