[QUOTE="Andrew Broughton, post: 73035, member: 318"] Re: Do I Tip The Band? Since you're in the business, you are uniquely capable of understanding the things that the band would appreciate far better and mean more to them than a monetary tip. Make sure their load-in is easy. Get them some loaders, clear the path, put down plywood on the grass (if needed), make sure the stage is clear and they have power, etc. Make them feel like humans. Feed them what the guests are eating. Let them drink. Check on them during the event to see that they're doing ok. Don't work them past the scheduled end time. They'll be tired and still have to load out after the gig. Whenever I've had to work weddings (oh so long ago) it was how we were treated that made the difference, not the money. We were all paid well already. [/QUOTE]
