Vendor inquiry: How would you respond?

I don't see an email posted?

There's no email attached for us to read, but I'm guessing they asked you about including meals for them?

I'm a wedding singer myself, and it's 100% standard to feed your vendors that are there for the entire reception. In fact, we require it in our contracts, as did all the vendors we hired for our wedding. So that means your band or DJ, photographer, videographer, and photobooth attendant (if you're having those) all get meals.

However, most venues will give a discounted meal for vendors, because they're not partaking in the bar or cocktail hour food, just the entree. Vendors are counted in your headcount for meals, but not in the physical capacity of the venue, because they generally eat in a separate area. Our guest cost was $145 per head, but our vendor meals were only $55 per head.

And if that's not what your question was about... whoops. lol. But do come back to show us the email, like I said, I'm in a wedding band, so I can probably help answer your question.

Agree with this. I had 2 bands for my reception that included some of the same musicians, 1 for the dinner and and 1 for the dancing. We had to provide 5 vendor meals for some of the musicians who performed in both bands.

Are you coming back OP? What was the email?
