Do you add vendors in for guest count?

Yes!

Absolutely! Check with your venue because vendor meals are usually less expensive.

Yes!! Sometimes vendor meals are cheaper ask your caterer!

Yes.. My venue counts them at 1/2 price

Yes (mine are 50%). Ask the banquet mgr/caterer. My contract says vendor count comes AFTER the guest minimum of 125.

Our venue did not count them against our guest count but we had to give them how many vendors to feed and the vendor meals were cheaper.

Yes, I added them to the list. My venue offers vendors 1/2 price meals for vendors.

Yes! Most vendors expect it but some don't but just want a heads up so that they can prepare and bring their own meals. But please feed them and don't make them pack a meal.

Oh lord I would never not feed them! Good to know that sometimes they charge less for vendors.

Vendors meals should cost less because they should not include alcohol.

My venue has us give them a guest list and a separate vendor list. Check with your venue to see how they would like the vendor count

My venue didn't specify if vendors were counted as the final count, but for sure they will know because the vendors get vendor meals.

Yes you need to feed them (especially if it's in their contract)! Check with your caterer about vendor meals...ours were about $15 cheaper than our guest meals!

Yes

As others have said, yes, you count them and yes you feed them. Also, ask your venue what your vendor meal is. If you're having filet mignon, I think it's tacky to serve them a stale and boxed turkey sandwich.

Yes, just to get a meal count

I'm so glad our caterer includes vendor meals! *insert praying hand emoji*
