Wedding gigs

The problem with playing at a wedding is the time wasted, or getting wasted between the hour when we can load in our gear and the time they want us to start playing. Another inconvenience is food. Smart couples account for the band in their catering numbers, props to them, but most do not, which leads to the biggest problem… an open bar, where the band indulges with wreckless abandon without anything in their bellies. This can lead to embarassing results on your “special day.” So long story short, feed your musicians, even if its some cheap pizza, otherewise don’t complain when we are stumbling on stage. Another tip? Get paid before you set up your gear.
