I just booked a gig through thumbtack, a Sept 17th wedding $1495 for the reception and $295 for a ceremony that is approximately 40 minutes away at a separate location. this was listed with a budget of $300-$400 a couple of communicative questions and answers and a phone call and deposit made, I had a bunch of free credits available from thumbtack so I figured what the hell I'll give it a shot. sometimes you can get someone to understand.
