The contract I sent her specifically reads: “Hours of Engagement: Ceremony 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.; Reception 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.” (I bill these as seperate events and do not charge for time in between except for mileage). The e-mail quote was meant to break down individual costs, but it did read “two hours of background music.” Do you think this oversite in the e-mailed breakdown of costs (failing to specify times here as well) requires me to be lenient?My OT in my contract specifically reads: “Overtime Rate: $50 per hour ($100 for a duo). Overtime must be requested in advance and agreed upon by both parties. A standard wedding ceremony includes 30 minutes of set-up time, 30 minutes of prelude music, 30 minutes for the ceremony and another 30 minutes for postlude and equipment removal for a total of two hours on site. Any wedding requiring the Harpist’s presence for longer than two hours will be billed as overtime. Please note that the Harpist cannot guarantee availability to remain on site beyond two hours if additional time is not requested in advance.” Thanks!
I do, of course, have a contract that I’ve sent her. It includes an OT rate, of course, BUT I was not aware of the down-time in between and quoted her a price for 2 hours of playing at the reception. She seems to be thinking already that I will not charge her for that time, based on the e-mail I’ve received. The quote I sent her (before I knew of the hour in between) read as such:
Ceremony: $xxx
Two Hours of Background Music: $xxx
Amplification: $xx
Mileage: $xx
Total: $xxx
