Ideas appreciated!

Hey all,

We've got a Videographer/Photographer & Toastmaster booked.  But we were wondering if anyone has any ideas on whether to supply some sort of food to these guys while we have our wedding breakfast?? x

i think they appreciate it even if they dont demand it (i have seen some togs who put it in the contract!) but not the same food as the wedding breakfast, something hot and quick if the kitchen will do it.

We arranged for the venue to serve sandwich platters for our videographer and photographer. However I think they were actually served our wedding breakfast meal.

thanks for that....I think one of them has got it in his contract but suppose can't do one without the other!!  I asked the events co-ordinator for our venue but she wasn't very helpful with any ideas!

Our photographer said he'd be quite happy with some sandwiches so we'll sort that with our venue when we sort out our menu. We're also including our 3 piece band in with our budget for the evening buffet (when we start trying to figure this out)

We did a wedding on Saturday where the bride insisted that she fed both co-ordinators - however we were really busy having to sort out the band who insisted on having a hot meal plus cold drinks for seven members - and HAD to eat two hours before performing.

Check your contracts girls!

thanks for that...not long till your big day!!

We're providing ours with food regardless of contract (although one states they require food) as we want them to enjoy working for us on our day!

yeah good theory lauralil....I want the guys to feel welcome at ours too just really didn't honestly know what was expected from us. 

We're providing our Tog and her 2nd shooter with a meal, they want theirs in the bar when we're having our wedding breakfast just so she can start downloading and backing up, you can't fault service like that!

I asked our venue to provide our last minute videographer with a meal and they provided him with the same as everyone else, I guess from their point of view it's easy to do one more of those than something completely different.  I have no idea where he ate it, he may have been in the same room but I don't really remember.

We don't expect food to be laid on for us but 9/10 times there is something for us during the day. Most of the weddings we have the same meal as the guests but in the bar or an area away from the main Wedding Breakfast. If the Bride & Groom don't provide food the venue will usually provide us with something to eat.
