Just a rant mainly but yesterday we played a wedding where we were one of two band scheduled. Its the first time i've seen where there were 2 but whatever. So we did the ceremony( acoustic songs as they walked the isle and then the cocktail hour and MC's the introductions 3 hours total.. The other band was scheduled for 6 pm ( keep that in mind) in the large tent by the dance floor etc. the usual wedding setup we were on property but not near that tent.. So, in the contract we were getting food which is always nice. they told us to go to the kitchen to receive the food. We go into the house at 5 minutes to 6 and there is the other band, who was not supposed to be fed we were later told by a pissed off staff, sitting there eating large plates from the buffet. These guys, and girl, were the very first people in line when the food was being put out, and to keep it scummy, they had grabbed plates and silverware from someones table!! Also remember 6pm start for them, well they didn't finish eating till 6:40 then wet to the stage. We ate from the kitchen and by the way got pasta with salmon, NOT the filet and all the really good stuff that was at the buffet. How can a wedding band, and per their website that's what they mostly are, act like that? Who eats first at a wedding buffet line when in your contract it states you are not being fed, and then starts 40 min late? AND gets more gigs????? Rant over.
