Question about vendors & food/dinner


Recommended Posts

We really only hav one vendor coming from afar with us to Mexico...and that is our photographer.

 

When and where does the photographer typically eat dinner?

 

We're getting married at Dreams. Do I have to reserve an extra plate for my photographer since it is an all inclusive?

 

What did you guys do? I feel bad because our wedding is super small (12 people) so I don't really want her eating with us since we only have one long table, but at the same time, I want to make sure she gets to eat etc?

Just a couple of questions...

 

How many hours coverage will the photographer be providing?

 

How long will they be staying after dinner?

 

Maybe since it's AI, you could say that you will give them a break during dinner so they can go grab something to eat. But...even that break should be factored into their overall time...not deducted from.

Our photog is coming the day before and leaving the day after the wedding.

 

She said she was ours for the entire day if we wanted.

 

We'll the ceremony is at 5PM so she'll probably start around 4 to take getting ready photos, etc.

 

Our reception dinner isn't until 8PM because FI and I wanted some extra time to take photos alone.

if I was a photographer, I'd probably want down time to grab food on my own & relax. Especially since she is just there that one day. Small talk with people you don't know is exausting.

 

if she was with you longer & was like a part of the group then joining you for dinner might be better.

 

I'd give her the option.

Our photog ate on her own- our dinner was a buffet. I'm not sure if I was charged for her to eat or not.

 

She took a few pics while we were eating but she and her assitant made sure to eat. They had a table off by themselves.

 

I would think giving her time to go grab some food would be a nice thing to do :)

do you think they want their own table?

i'd ask them. since they will be there the whole trip they might just be like part of the gang.

*kristie, if you are reading this you can pick whatever you want to do for dinner :) except for snap pictures of me with food in my teeth.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
