This question
has been asked many times by brides each and every year. I am sure that many
brides ask the question "should count my wedding vendors in the head
count for the meal?" A true professional will not expect it, but will
definitely appreciate the kind gesture.

Something to keep in
mind, it that your wedding photographer and DJ will be spending upwards of 10
hours just on preparation and services for your wedding day. This means that
hey might be running low on energy if they are not able to get something into
their stomachs. Some wedding companies will have a stipulation in their
contract that states they must be fed while attending the reception. Not
everyone should be considered for the seating during the dinner. A majority of
brides will fix this problem by having a vendor table and inviting their
photographer, DJ, videographer, wedding planner to have a seat at it. This also
works well, because then all these people will have something in common to
easily talk about.
Depending on the
reception, some meals run upwards of $40 a plate. You will also already have
all your family and friends in the seating for the meal portion of the
reception. So you will have to make the call on what you think is appropriate.
If you are considering having a vendor table, consult with them if they are
bringing any assistants. However, when your wedding vendor gets a name card
done in calligraphy with their name on it, they will get that warm feeling
inside.
