I just got married in Italy and I got up to the use restroom and passed a room full of all of vendors sharing a meal and a bottle of wine! Loved seeing that!
Happy belated, Natalie! I worked in restaurants for 20+ years and I loved the restaurants where we had 'pre-meal / family dinner' while we went over the specials for the night and connected before opening the doors to the public. I love the idea of a private vendor buffet during cocktail hour! That sounds like it could work very well.... band would need to arrive a bit earlier perhaps but I don't see any negatives to having vendor meal at this time.
I worked in the restaurant industry for 15 years and we, almost always, had a family meal. Now that you bring it up, I am going to think about a way to incorporate it into my team meetings! Love this idea. SO excited to see you in Palm Springs!!! Thanks for sharing this email with all of us!
i love this idea of a family style dinner for vendors- but realize it can be extra tricky as a photographer- always a dream when I can eat when guests are eating {and bonus if I can snag a salad!}
however, a few years back - we had a massive destination wedding & the thursday night before a bunch of us grabbed a leisurely and over-the-top delicious meal - felt so good to be pampered & allowed for genuine connection - and to just review minor notes- makes you better understand & remind everyone that we are all there to serve the client as a unified team <3
