I have two venues that recommend me, as well as other DJ's. They don't ask me for a dime. Yet I just had a friend of mine tell me that his daughter was charged $300 to use a non recommended vendor ( the DJ ) at her wedding.
So, how does this work? The place books the DJ and takes a cut?
Back in the day when I did a whole lot more weddings, I was recommended by maybe 5 - 10 places. I don't ever remember hearing of any bride being charged to use a non preferred vendor.
That seems like a nasty price gouging, money whore move by venues, if you ask me.
