| An oral contract under a certain amount of money is a legal contract in my state. You should call him today and insist that he write you a promissory note. If he refuses to do that you know that you are going to get stiffed.
Start calling this clown every day. You can also sue in small claims court.
If I book a wedding myself I always make sure that I have all the money before I play a single note.
It would be a good idea to talk to the bride or her father. Most don't like being looked at as cheapskates.. Do you know if the guy that hired you was paid by them? Maybe he just meant that he had to get the money from them before he could pay you. I personally think that is lame. I pay the people that I hire whether I get paid that day or not.
The money must be worked out ahead of time unless you enjoy this kind of problem If you get a reputation for letting people stiff you it will just happen again. Do you want to do for free what everybody else gets paid to do? |
