Do you count your wedding planner and DJ for your final count in meals?

From a photog's viewpoint: If we provide 6 or more hours of coverage, we will ask if we should bring our own meal or will one be provided. We have yet to be asked to shoot while people have their mouths full...LOL. I agree with Jambalaya S & L...no alchohol for us either (even IF the clients tell us it's OK). Just doesn't seem professional, ya know? We are there to provide a service, not to party. =0)

I'm totally going to feed my vendors but I was wondering do you seat them with the regular guests?? Not so much the officiant as the DJ does he sit at his area to eat or do I seat him with my guests??
