flyfisher Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 [quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1401359468' post='2462747'] People always bring the '6 Plumbers out at midnight' quote which is irrelevant really. I was being sarcastic [/quote] Fair enough . . . In which case we're on the same page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I don't agee about bands underselling themselves so much..just that they have a reasonable sense of their worth. Most pubs bands would struggle to do weddings at £600 because they aren't really set up for it, rather than not being able to step up. Plenty of wedding bands will think fancy outfits and such like justifies a certain fee when they can't hit the mark in pubs. By and large, you get the fees you get because you have prooved that market will pay you for it... For sure, you can get away with a couple of high fees but if you do that to a venue who supplies bands and they don't get the right feed-back, or you fail on the night, then you are shooting yourself in the foot. The point about getting a sense of the value of the event is good as well... if someone wants a £600 band on their day, then that may well be an indicator of the value of their event. They may pay a photographer over £1000 and the wedding will cost £12-15k but they want to cheap out on the band..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
