Do you need to include vendor meals in your wedding budget?

This is one element that is often overlooked by those new to event planning or are amateur wedding planners. I'm impressed by the brides who even think to ask me about this.

Blue Orchid's blog (Scottsdale, AZ wedding planners) provides a helpful blog post that answers all your questions (even the ones you didn't think to ask). Check it out!

Take a note of the comment made on this blog article. I would suggest asking the vendor what they would like by them the option between a warm dish (does not have to be the same meal you are offering to the guests) or a "boxed lunch."

If you have any further questions please do not hestitate to contact Cristina Maria Special Events at info@cristinamariaevents.com. We are happy to help!

Shine in your moment!
