Sometimes the caterers charges you half price for the band to eat at your function. Usually they supply free refreshments. The band appreciates the gesture, and these light meals are mandatory if the job is 3 hours long. A more substantial meal is appreciated for jobs of 4 hours or more. Keep in mind that an event is a much longer timeframe than your booking and at least add another 2/3 hours where we are often not able to get food from anywhere – so in reality a 4 hour booking is at least 6 hours to us.
