I think we just had our photographer and DJ, MC, if your having a videographer than he would be there, and yes you do count them.

But you should not be charged full price for vendors, as they are not drinking. I've been quoted 1/2 price for vendors & kids.

vendors don't count as part of your minimum b/c the per person price is cheaper.

What is you don't make your minimum? Can you count the vendors as guests then?

$50 for chicken fingers or a burger? rediculous! it's not like they're going to drink anything other than soda or Shirley Temples.

Unfortunately, vendors do not count towards your minimum. That’s what I have heard from a few halls.

Heehee, no you won't work them to death!

Definitely call and ask how many are coming...I had to feed:

1) Photographer
2) Videographer
3) Videographer's Assistant
4) DJ
5) Percussionist

My particular hall would have allowed me to count vendors toward my minimum, bu they would have been full price. Because I met the minimum, vendors and kids were half price. But it's never good t assume, so call your hall and call your vendors.

Happy planning!

If I do not meet the minimum, the vendors will count as guests. If I meet the minimum with my guests, then I get a discount... not sure what it is.

I was told that vendors are 1/2 price AFTER my minimum is met. I can use the vendors towards my minimum.
