Here in Ireland its not uncommon for the wedding band I am resident dj for to be paid in cash of upto about 3000 euro after their performance . At least 50% of the gigs we do are like this. Never heard of them not being paid though.
All my other gigs are payment of the balance in cash, draft or cheque on the night or in advance depending on what suits the customer.
I did a gig recently for a revenue employee taking early retirement and he paid the balance upfront in cash at 6pm and didn't ask for a receipt!

Normally take payments up tp 14 days before for a wedding. On some occasions i let them pay the rest on the night before i start. I have recently said ok to a cheque on the night because of the clients circumstances on the day.
Not bad or anything they had plenty of money. But there wasnt a bank within a few miles of them.

I also allow the option of both, but aside from the added security of being paid in advance, I like the simple notion of getting home after a late night, and emptying a full wallet out onto the table, (which my wife kindly picks up in the morning and spends for me. She's good like that)...it must be some old school hunter gatherer thing. Good Night, Job Done, Payment received!

Someone's just dropped off £500 cash for their event in July - I didn't even ask for it but knew they were popping round. He didn't even ask for a receipt (and I didn't think at the time)
What's my point? More and more couples expect to pay upfront.

I'd love all my clients to pay upfront. All are provided that option but I just don't force it upon them. I may change my mind at some point and decide to change direction. But for now, if it aint broke...

Hi, payment upfront or on the night before we switch on. Never had a problem.
-
lol - i have had the bride/groom pay me out of the money envelopes they recieved once
After this I tend to ask for cash up front now - But I do give the option - Some people like to recieve a service b4 they pay - Some just like to pay before and not worry about the day -
