Market rates for a wedding reception hour

Hi everyone!

I took about a 10 year hiatus from performing professionally for personal reasons.

I’ve recently put my services back out there and got an interested client for their wedding in March.

I’m curious what a standard rate is today for a weddings cocktail hour. I’d do walk around magic for 1-2 hours.

While I’m “restarting” the business side, I still have around 15 years of magic under my belt so I’m not a beginner.

I was thinking a going rate of 250/hr was reasonable for my skill and energy I bring to the table. Is this lowballing or not enough?

I’m also looking to book more restaurant gigs so trying to establish a good idea of market rates. There aren’t many magicians in my area, east TN.

Appreciate any advice!
