Good advice so far.
My take on this is to estimate how much you would spend on a gift for the happy couple if you were just another guest, and discount your normal rate by that amount. People tend to overlook the fact that you're working at a wedding, not dancing about, drinking and enjoying yourself like everyone else.
If you were a florist, a hairdresser, a dress maker or put up marquees for a living, would they expect you to do it for nothing?
You should be paid - No question!
