Photobooth vendors for dinner

They will be setting up and ready by the guests arrive for the ceremony then they will be there until 9pm.

Hey Eartha! It's amazing that you thought of the meals for your vendors! It's always super appreciated especially if they spend all day working on your big day. For the photobooth, I like what all the ladies have recommended, definitely check out with your venue for discounted meals! It also depends how much time your vendors will need to set up the photobooth. Will they be getting there during dinneror before? How much time do they need to set up?

Awesome! Let us know how it works out!

Thanks for the tips Samtam...

I just reached out to my vendor to see if they have a "discounted vendor meal". I never thought of that before... I've always just assumed that I would be feeding them, the only reason why I'm questioning is just because I switched my booking from the initial 6 hours to only 4 hours. I guess that's what was playing as a "trick" in my mind

I think that if they're there when dinner is being served, then you should feed them. We had a photobooth as well but it didn't arrive until well after dinner so we did not provide a meal for the photobooth attendant. Generally the caterer will offer a lower cost "vendor meal" for you to provide for your vendors. The vendors will most likely be working during dinner so they'll just grab a quick bite and then keep going. It's definitely good form to feed your vendors. They're working hard for you and deserve to be treated well too!

If you have any activities going on during dinner, you might want to check and see what time the vendors will get their meals. We were planning on doing speeches as soon as all of the entrees were served and thought the vendors would get their meals during the appetizer course but they didn't get it until the entree course so we had to wait for them to finish up before we could start our speeches and it pushed back our schedule and cut into our dancing time.

That would work out perfectly!

Thank you

I know my friends wedding that I went to, the two attendants alternated their time to go in and eat

So it should be alright

You could also ask the owners at the venue you are using and see what has been done in the past for this sort of thing!

Hahahha yeah well I guess hopefully if my dinner runs longer than 9pm, they will stay until they have had the full meal

That's why I was contemplating as I do want to serve them, but I just don't want the station unmanned. But I'm sure they know what they are doing

Thanks for your input

Our photo booth is run by my photographer who I am feeding. I would feed them if they are doing to be there during the time period. They might not say they expect food but they usually do and if you are feeding the other vendors, that would be weird if they aren't getting any food while everyone else is!
