Yes... unless they're a house vendor then they usually eat for free.

Ask your BM. It varies based on the halls. Some halls, reccomended vendors eat free or half priced. Other halls all vendors are half price.

most halls as long as you meet you min they are half off - they dont have their own table
i am fine with feeding them - esp my photog and doc who will be with me my whole day

Think of it this way...do you really want your DJ, MC, photographer, videographer and DOC (or whatever vendor(s) you are using, obviously) to be handling your event on an empty stomach? Check with your hall on what their policy is.

LOL of course I don't want them to be starving...It's just not something I realized until now so it caught me off guard...i really have to call the BM and ask how they do it

You are not alone. I think it's ridiculous, they should be working not eating! I am cheap so I want to work something out with my hall. I am going to blatantly persuade/hint to all my vendors to go to the CH and stock up on food hahaha.

the way my hall does it is that the house vendors eat for free and all other vendors are half the price. i understand that this must happen but it gets crazy when your photo/video is like 3 people alone..it all adds up!

Re: I'm not paying you to eat
yeah, they are usually free or half priced! Thats the benefits of using house vendors sometimes - my house vendors eat free... the others i have to pay 1/2 price for!

Re: I'm not paying you to eat
My friend told me that her photog had mentioned to her that they feed them no matter what so to fib a little on the #. Have you girls heard of that??? So I guess if you have 4 people for the DJ say 2 or 3.
