Do we pay for the vendors to eat or is that thrown in by the venue? Hope this makes sense

We have to pay for our vendors but they are 1/3 off the per price plate.

Usually you pay for the vendors to eat. I think we are paying half price for our vendors.

I'm paying half price for all vendors. Depends on your venue, definitely something to ask. Some dont charge if you use their recommended vendors

We have to pay, our vendors are half price, if we used house vendors they'd eat free.

We have to pay as well. If they are the preferred vendors then they are half price...too bad we didn't end up going with any of the preferred vendors...

Yes, the vendors there all night. Photographers (and their assistants), videographers (and their assistants), photo booth attendant(s), DJ, MC, lighting tech (if you have one). My venue is 1/3 off the price for vendors AFTER our minimum is met. Kids are also 1/3 off.

Yes, our venue we have to pay full price for all vendors since we aren't using any of their preferred vendors (of course! lol). Otherwise, they would be 1/2 price.
I'm using all my vendors from the outside and I have to pay half price..I'm thinking do I really need to tip these people.im already paying for their meal..

Yes, my venue is half off vendors once minimum is met and it doesn't matter if they are preferred vendors or not but as you can see from the other ladies responses every place is different so it all depends

A friend of mine asked the vendors if they prefer a meal or a bigger tip. I heard they feed something them anyway, even if you dont pay. I havent really thought it through, but my mom thinks this is tacky.
I'm torn because they are allowed to eat at the cocktail hour for free, but i have to pay half price for a meal.

You usually have to pay a discounted price for their plate, some venues include it if you're using one of their preferred vendors.

I checked with my venue and we have yo pay for any vendor that stays the reception (half price only after I meet my minimum). Why can't they tell us this? If it weren't for this board, I'd be so embarrassed and short of money come wedding day
