Seating Plan and Vendors?

Jordan, on April 19, 2022 at 11:09 Posted in Wedding reception 1 7

Where are you placing your vendors during the reception? I believe we only have our photographer and our coordinator. I think our DJ will be sitting at his DJ booth but if not he will need a seat. We are including them in our head count for our caterers so they all get a hot meal, I'm just not sure where to seat them. We don't really have enough to need a whole table for our vendors. Do I seat them with guests, spread them out? Our tables seat 6 but will have anywhere from 4-6 at the tables

    Most venues will have small tables that typically seat 2-4 that are perfect for a small group of vendors like yours. I would put that table close to the DJ booth.

    I personally wouldn't seat them with other guests. They're rarely there anyway so it would just create a hole at a table. And if you have 2-3 out of 6 with your guests, those guests will feel like they're sitting at the vendors table and may feel insulted.

    We’re having rectangle tables so they seat 24 and 16, I was able to fit my dj, photographer and videographer and the 24 table.
    Weather they will actually go sit down or not I added them to our seating chart just incase they did want to go sit for dinner.
    I mentioned it to them in a email so they were aware and they were all seemed grateful to have a seat! Also the fact that they are sitting with the guests I think it will just make for good conversation starters about who they are! 😊

    Great question we haven’t thought about this, but we think we will be sitting our DJ, photographer, videographer and wedding planner at one table.

    I too only have a photographer to seat, well technically 2, and I am just throwing them in where I can. My tables are 8 seaters and have a few that have one empty seat, so there they will be haha. From what I have seen at other weddings, the seat is more just a place they can leave some gear, quickly grab a bite to eat, but mostly will be on their feet taking photos.

    Hi Jordan! Our vendors have requested they not be assigned seats- the photographers asked for a small table for their equipment and will eat there and the dj will eat a secondary table he requested for additional equipment. if that wasn't the case I would have put them at a table closest to their station....
