Pianist for Wedding - what to charge?

I'm thinking of hiring a pianist from a piano studio I used to teach at for our cocktail hour, but I'm not sure how much to charge for the hour. These are college students that are majoring in music/music education. What do you think would be a reasonable price to charge? I'm already spending a good amount on a DJ, string quartet, and Sinatra singer so I'm trying to keep this as low as possible!

Dont they tell you how much they charge to play? Or are they letting you tell them what you want to pay?

thanks for the feedback! :) they're all piano teachers at a piano studio so most have never played at a wedding before. since they're not professionals i was thinking of paying $100.. is that too low? i don't want to insult anyone.
