okay this is perhaps a really dumb question...

I'm in the beginning stages of planning a wedding.. i went to my first catering hall today and already fell in love -leonards of great neck..

here's my question though.. when calculating people.. (where' going for 60-75 people) do we count the bride and groom? Meaning is 60 people really 58?

thanks in advance...

The bride & groom are part of the tally.

You have to count you both and all you vendors also, unless you don't want to feed then.

Vendors, DJ, Photo people and any other outside vendors.

Also check if you have to pay for children. I am only haing one child at my wedding and it would be ridiculous to pay the price of an adult.
