in reality you are supposed to feed your vendors and sometimes if you book the vendors that your RH recommend they either don't charge you or they cut the price in half
I told my vendors to eat at the CH, I definitely CANNOT afford even half price of what I am paying in order to feed all of my vendors and their 'assistants'. One of our vendors said they know our RH and they usually feed them anyway.

yes we r feeding them.they will be there most of the day so i dont want them to faint lol
Most vendors expect to be fed- You should check with them when you finalize you plans. Most reception halls offer a reduced rate.
you absolutely are supposed to feed them. Talk to your RH because most places will allow u to pay 1/2 price, and sometimes even free if they are in-house vendors(ie: reccomended by the rh)...also if u fall short on ur minimum, some halls will allow u to include them in ur count. but yes, it ***** because it adds up, but they need to eat lol.
Because we didn't hit our min we had to pay full price for the vendors...and I had 16 vendors. Plus you need to pay tax and gratuity. I think it's crazy!
i will be feeding my vendors, they are 1/3 off at my hall though. At most halls though if you use their house vendor, they will eat for free.

I don't think we plan on feeding the venders durring the reception...they can eat at the CH. But one of my venders gave me a little piece of advice since they have worked at our RH several times. He said that we shouldn't pay for the vender meals because our RH will end up giving them a meal anyways. This is just from his experience though. I think its crazy to spend another 80/90 for 12 or so people.
Yes its custom to feed them
i agree with feeding them.
I Don't want to feed the band. They are there for 5 hours and could eat a big meal before they come! I have a 10 piece band and I can get an extra station or something I want for that extra $. I HATE all the extra tipping and stuff on top of paying SO MUCH for a service. My fiance will try and make me feed the band but quite frankly I dont get free lunch when I go to work nor do I get paid when I am doing a job. I emailed the band but the guy hasnt gotten back to me. I am hoping they say they dont want to eat.
