I wish I could be in both places at the same time.

2 things you got wrong. I have done other events for them in the past and they love what I have done in the past. Not just them but I've done other events for other committees that they were there.

Also the issue with the planning is that this event took place last year and the day of the event it snowed. So the event got cut short. The facility was nice enough to let them have another date so they don't lose their $600 deposit. This was the only date the facility had open. No dates open in May or June. So they had to take what they could get.

I was thinking he was talking about finishing up a gig at 3am like when playing in a bar in Newark NJ. Don't worry no need for a signed contract with either of those committees. Never an issue with getting paid. At the end theyhave me sign a paper for a receipt so the area knows I got paid and how much.

A convention would be a whole different story. We're talking over 2k vs a few hundred dollars. I get paid at the end of the event and never have had an issue. I get paid in full for what we both agree I'm to be paid.
 
You do know that a contract is not about getting paid, right? You need to have a signed contract for each and every event - regardless of who or where they are. How do you expect people to take you seriously as a business if you're not serious about running it as a business?

That ship has sailed, and he clearly does this as a hobby and not a business. Why start now?

A contract isn't just about getting paid or not getting paid. It's also about the what-ifs...to protect both sides. What if something prevents you from making it to the event on time or maybe even at all? Is the client ok with just 'not paying you' or are you liable for other damages as well? That's spelled out in your contract. What if something causes the client to cancel the event after you're set up or shut down early? Do you get paid the full amount? Well, check your contract. The terms of the contract spell out how particular situations play out when something goes wrong. Not necessarily due to a lazy party on one side or the other. Not even necessarily due to negligence. Not to mention, our liability insurance is pretty much null if we don't have a contract. I assume most policies are the same.
