I'm happy if we get $350-$400 and free food at a wedding. I like doing weddings, nobody pukes on the P.A. speakers at weddings.

There has to be a good side to playingwedding singer songs

Heh. Obviously you've never been to a bogan wedding then. I was at once a while back for an old mate. The groom wore a blazer and black jeans, and the bride had FM boots on under her very hippie style dress. One of the groomsmen was so hungover he fell over twice in the ceremony and proceeded to spew every hour on the hour at the reception, to make room for more Lion Red, of course

I did go to a westy one last year at the Helenville Rugby club where the groom wore a Purple suit like the guy from the Alice in wonderland that he actually purchased.

they put on a small meal and a keg of course for the guests and then later a van arrived with all the rugby boys and another two kegs which was drunk.

It was all a bit funny as everyone was completly stoned the whole day.

LOL - I can't remember much of my own wedding - well fortified beforehand...

We played at a wedding a few years back where we were actually playing through the ceremony inside the church. The minister was ever so confused, poor old soul. It was sort of like watching Rowan Atkinson. I'm sure he married himself to the groom at one stage!

Weddings are indeed the best work one can get - we charge around the 850-1050 mark for the whole night. I ask us all right now, to put our prices up and get some colusion and price fixing happening here. People/punters think bands and DJ's should cost the same...get real!

Funniest wedding was the ole bride and best man trick - caught kissing out back after the speeches, and the ensueing fight was spectacular. Had the cops come to one and arrest a woman for assaulting some drunken bum. The Tokoroa Carter Holt Harvey do a few years back also turned into a chair throwing smash 'em up night too...

Ah, the memories,...

Tokoroa?

Well, they say that's the last bastion of the real man there.. at least that's what my students who came from Tokoroa said!

The thought of living in Tokoroa is abvout as attractive as the smell of passing through it
