Hi All my fellow brides!
We are having a super small legal ceremony as we have already postponed our large ceremony twice so don’t want to keep delaying the marriage. We are having an outdoor ceremony in the mountains, going off for photos, then just to a private dining spot in a restaurant.
What is the etiquette for inviting the commissioner and photographer to the meal? No services will be taking place, just wondering if we should invite them!Thanks!!

If it’s a super intimate dinner I wouldn’t say you need to feed the photographer unless you want them to take photos at the dinner. If it is a super small dinner anyways it may just be nicer to only have those who are close with you at the dinner, vs all those close with you and a photographer you don’t know too well.

You wont need to invite the commissioner since hes only doing your ceremony. For your photographer, if you have them for the evening as well, you should include them for dinner. For instance with my fiance and I in our contract it stats for our photographer since we have them for 12 hours and they're included for the reception we do need to feed them.

Thanks Hank!
That was kind of my thought as I wouldn’t want to be there! Just didn’t want to miss a particular etiquette! Thanks for responding!

I think most officiants don't expect to attend the reception, so you can leave them out for dinner.
As for the photographer, if they're not contracted to work the hours of your dinner, then no need to invite them as well. If I were in the vendor's shoes, I would rather not be invited if I'm not working since it'll be awkward for me to be there by myself.
