Should I feed my vendors?

Yes. many vendors will place a note in their contracts that a "vendor meal" must be provided by the client on day of service. Should you not see it listed, a nice gesture would be to ask. This meal does not have to be the same as you are feeding your guest and your sales and catering manager will assist in this process. Most caterers have a less expensive meal option choice to choose for your vendors. If your venue is accustomed to hosting events all year long they may even have a designated spot for your vendors to dine out of site of your guest. Which allows for a better experience for all. Some clients may ask why this is necessary. Keep in mind that vendors can work on site anywhere from 7 to 14 hours in one day on your event. These are not typically work environments and a designated lunch or dinner break is never scheduled. Nor seldom even an option. There for a run down the street to grab lunch is never accessible. eating onsite is the only way to keep the showing rolling.

Let the Party .... Party on!

Guest with Military Uniform on at your weddings. Appropriate?

One bride was concerned that her cousin who was military was going to steal the show at her wedding by wearing his Military uniform. Was she turning into a bridezilla? Was it going to be a distraction at her wedding? Was she being self centered?

With the way the world is today, we are fortunate to have so many women and men ready, willing and able to volunteer to protect our daily freedom. As long as the person is in the service they are entitled to wear their uniform. Sure they may receive more attention than if they were in civilian clothing, but no need to worry. Nothing can take the focus off the bride and groom on such a special day as their wedding day.
