Feeding vendors at reception - UPDATED -need advice

Original post by christine2010

i am just wondering how many vendors you are feeding at the reception?? & if you would share how much the hall is charging you per vendor.

TIA

update:

i ask because we have to pay for 12 vendors!!!

8 band members & 4 for photo/video.

my hall said 2/3 which would come to $75 per vendor so thats an extra $900. plus i am 99% sure we are going to be 5 people under our guarantee. when my mom asked the other day if we can use part of the 12 people as the 5 people we are going to be short the hall said no.

my parents have been yelling at me about this for 2 days & i can't take it anymore.
what should we do?????

You should confirm exactly what you can or cannot do with the hall. Because you should be able to use some of those 12 to make up for the 5 you will be under. The only thing is that you have to pay full price for those 5 and the vendor cost . They shouldn't make you pay vendor prices for the 12 and then 5 additional plates!!

I have no idea about this. I really should start looking into it though!! I have to tally up the amount of people there. But my hall says that they eat at 3/4 the price. it seems a bit high to me since they won't be drinking or eating the cocktail hour food!!
