I'm paying $5500, but my reception is 4 hours instead of the standard 3.

They are $4450 for the standard 3-hour reception.


Holy frick. I'm in the wrong profession.

Wedding bands these days push 10 members. The good ones also pay multiple people to handle setup, sound, and lights. When you start cutting that money up, it's not as great as you think. A fun way to make a living, but you're not going to put much away.

I know someone who played in a popular event band and was far from living large. The real paydays are the corporate events. They did a company Christmas party as a last-minute request one time that paid $25k. This was probably 15 years ago too.
