We've done similar with fraternal houses.
The FOP, VFW, Moose etc are non-profits. They're often loyal to mobiles who are professional and prefer to stick with one they can trust. On occasion we'll get a referral from the managers, ie a "DJ suggestion" for someone who is renting the hall.
In return we'll cut the house a break when they book us for an engagement of their own. The referrals more than make up for the occasional break.
No money changes hands and we don't advertise the practice. Yet it works well and keeps everyone happy. :thumbup
