For me, my first question would have been, why not get the band members back who WERE being payed to perform and were already there, albeit, taking a break, but still, they clearly speak the bridal parties language clearing any language barrier that might have existed with me, they are already known to the bridal company, we should assume, and they are already set up, where as, I may have been known to the bridal party, and they hired someone else (lets face it, I might have given them a price and they moved away from me) I am in the middle of my setup and preparing for the people who DID hire me. OK, lets put a scenario there, I'm setting up, not complete, they want intro's, I agree, dad and the groom were out smoking because no one told them the venue was out looking for another dj to save their day, 10 mins pass, now my bridal party is starting to arrive, cocktail hour should be running, so NOW I tell the venue I have to go, so sorry, AFTER they have proclaimed to the other wedding party that they have saved their day? Talk about a bad taste!!! Sorry, my obligation is to my paying clients, while I would love to have saved the venues day, if my name were the first name they thought of in their crisis, maybe it should have been the first name they recommended when the bridal party called and booked the venue. Just my 2 cents
