Rule number one for wedding parties: DON"T GET CHEATED.
I know this firsthand, it having happened to me. Make sure that you
get all the details of what you will be doing VERY clear, WELL in
advance. As for pricing, set a base rate of say $150-$250, depending
on the size of the party and the number of guests (of course than can
always fluctuate depending on who you're doing it for... charge more
for rich folk.) That base rate can work as a down payment if you
like, or you could do a 'phone company' type thing, i.e. $200 for the
first 4 hours, and anything after that is $70 an hour. Don't charge
by the design. It's much to tedious.
If the party is cancelled, this is when the down payment kicks in. I
would request that they send you the down payment at least one week
in advance, and this becomes unreturnable if they cancel within 48
hours of the party date.
~Nick, rambling way beyond what you probably needed to know, but i
hope it helps anyways!
