I have a 6 hour wedding last night 3 hours of dance.. it went well, but I never felt like I "HAD" them, know what I mean?

They danced and I had some great sets, but I never felt like I was killing...

At the end of the night I got a $50.00 tip so the B&G were happy and I got good responce from the people, but it was just one of those shows.

No real point here, just a little vent :sqeek:
 
You should have spiked the drinks ;)
 
Greets, Chuck. :)

At least the guests stayed. I'll always remember the wedding where there was a mass exodus after dinner. Got out two hours early with a full paycheck. It happens sometimes.

I'm reminded of the old band joke... after what the band thought was a disappointing gig, the members were commiserating as they loaded out.

Then one of 'em said "Well, we got paid, didn't we?"

:D

Keep the faith, my friend. :)
 
At wedding receptions, there is a need to reminisce and talk with family/friends you haven't seen in a long time.
Successful receptions are more about the "flow," the timing and introductions, the spotlighting of B/G, etc. I'm sure you made a good impression on this crowd, despite the not-always-full dance floor.

I never expect a full floor the entire time. Not that it doesn't happen often.....but I go into it with lowered expectations. This way I'm never disappointed by the results.

And, since you say they gratuitized you with half a Benjamin, it looks to me like the results were more than satisfactory!
