Who to Feed?

SoontobeJB, on August 26, 2015 at 11:06 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11

I have the DJ and the Officiant down but it just hit me do I feed the Bartender and the Bus boy that come with the hall rental too?

    Don't forget your photographer and videographer, if you have one.

    My bartender will be supplied by the catering company, so I am assuming they will feed him like they feed themselves...

    I assume you'd include the bus boy too if he's there for the full reception.

    I didn't pay for anyone the venue included, I figured they fed themselves.

    My venue coordinator just went over the external vendors that I'm using for additional food cost, they didn't include themselves.

    @Chantel, no videographer and photographer is a relative

    @beth & futuremrs it's a party hall and we're having a restaurant cater the food buffet style, does that make a difference?

    Provide food for everyone. It's the polite thing to do.

    I was just thinking about this. When I add it up, we have at least an additional 20 people to feed. That would be like 3 extra tables. ugh...

    @LisaKitty i think I am, it's only two more people and we're having buffet I can always have someone just put together a plate for them. Thank you.

    @Christina YIKES that's a lot

    I would just ask the vendors instead of guessing. I would much rather be sure that I need too rather than shell the money out and find out they are included/wouldn't need to be fed. If the bartender and bussers are separate from the caterer, I would also ask the caterer what they would be able to do for the vendors or if there is special pricing for them.

    @jenja we're just having the food delivered by a restaurant it's not an on site caterer. I'm just gonna include them, two people aren't going to make a huge difference. I'm just glad I thought of it now, I totally forgot to include them on the list.

    I've been to parties were the band wasn't included in the formal dinner but did get some food - just a bit simpler version but tasty nonetheless! Anyways, they didn't had time to have 5 course dinner and play music... so one or two course dinner and enough drinks!
