We hired our church's musical director and band to perform during our ceremony. He is extremely talented, he can sing, play multiple instruments and everyone enjoys listening to him.
When we initially booked him we paid his initial deposit but we were only going to have him perform. I thought long and hard about it and realized I wanted the band to perform too so I sent him the deposit to include the band. This was beginning of January.
Last Sunday after church I went up to the stage after everyone was finish performing to say hello and introduce him to my FI. I don't know the band personally because we are a large church so I wanted to meet them. He introduced the band to me and he told them that I have hired them to perform on my wedding day. This is the first they are hearing about it but they were cool.
Should I find it strange that he is just now telling them, when he cashed my check for their deposit 3 weeks ago. My wedding isn't until July so there's no rush, I just thought that was weird that he is holding on to their money. Or is this how it works?
Wedding date July 7, 2012
