Are we suppose to reserve a table with the same menu for musicians?

My wedding is this Saturday, May 17th. The pianist  that we hired to accompany 2 vocal performers contacted me tonight to inform me that he was expected a seat and dinner for he and his spouse and the 2 vocal performers we hired.  I informed him that unfortunately, all of our tables are full with guests.  However, all of our vendors will be able to order from the hotel's room service menu as a courtesy.  He indicated that I was rude and un professional and that the normal etiquette is that musicians aren't considered "vendors" and that they have special consideration and are always given a seat at a table such as the clergy that performs the vows etc.  Is this true? I mean if I am paying you to perform at my wedding, I am suppose to offer YOU the same meal($150.00) as my guests???? sorry for venting...I am just under a lot of stress and worked hard for this day and did not need to hear that I was "un-professional,inconsiderate and rude".
