Do vendors get escort cards?

No, we aren't. Our caterer sets up a table in the back for vendors, the DJ is the only one who eats in the reception space and they just eat at the DJ table.

Thanks for pointing that out! I didn't think to ask my reception hall when vendors eat.

We aren't! The dj will probably just eat up at his table. The photographers will probably step into a different room to eat for a break. I am still not sure if the photobooth guy needs a meal since we only have him for 2 hrs and maybe an additional total hour he needs to set up and tear down.
