    Indeed, I've got a few couples who have booked the dancefloors and or uplighting plus me so why on earth would they want to carry that much cash around with them for most of the day?

    So you agree with me then too
    I do not have administrators agreeing with me twice in one post that often

    I am getting somewhere. It was this time last year I was in the sinbin for months on end.

    All i need now is shaun, darren, steve, the bloke with the old sword etc. to do the same and i will be made up.

    If people want to pay beforehand they can. I just don't insist on it at all.

    a quick update! I've been paid

    I always insist on payment 28 days in advance. My clients either trust me or they don't. If they don't then they are not the type of clients that I am marketing to.

    My address phone numbers are listed and plain to see, and I have no objection to my clients coming around for a chat.

    My fee is more than the average cashpoint will allow the client to withdraw, so to avoid unnessary emabrrisment having to "chase" the right person who has the money on the wedding day, all monies owed are paid in advance.

    In the past 15 months that I've been using this method, only 1 person has objected insisting that they would pay no deposit and all money would be paid at the END of the night. I politely suggested that thay find another mug ooops I mean DJ
