Most NYC caterers charge the host to feed band at a reduced price,and rightfully so. They drink at the cocktail party in most cases. Even when unlimited music which patron pays extra for.( Union says 1 man only has to play all times in unlimited). Figure it out . I did 15 weddings on a weekend x 4 peice band average, Thats 60 people or almost a small party, why should I have that expense? They get paid to work like anyone else. I have seen many times where they are fed, they dont even tip their waiter, so most waiters now dont even want to wait on them. Do you blame them?
