Playing at weddings

somethingsimple

Hey guys,
want a bit of advice, the band I'm in has been playing in the local pubs for around 6 months. we play a mix of music from Christy Moore through to Greenday, as well as the usual sweet caroline, etc. we've had some good reports back, and most venues have booked to have us back.:D
We are now looking to start doing weddings, but don't know how to start. Wheres the best place's to advertise? do we need to sign up with an agency? what sort of price should we be charging?
there are two of us in the band as it stands, but we have a third person, who will help us out for weddings, playing trad - setdances, jigs, reels, etc.
Any advice you could give would be great.

Thanks Again,

Paul;)

do we need to sign up with an agency?

Need/Want - choice is yours. Best policy with agents is to send them stuff from time to time, when they need you they'll ring you, otherwise do your own thing.

what sort of price should we be charging?

Whatever you want.
