Although wedding vendors may not be directly related to, or a general social component of the wedding party, they are nevertheless a component of the special day and should therefore be accommodated. So yes, wedding vendors should be fed at the reception. At first this concept may not appeal to the couple having the wedding, but in the end, the decision to feed the vendors will seem more adequately justified.

Weddings are large celebrations that are typically remembered by a significant amount of people. This includes the couple of the ceremony, as well as the guests that attended. A central objective to having a successful wedding is to make it an event that people will want to remember and speak positively about. Of course, not everyone can be pleased. But certainly, making a decision that would cause outright controversy is not a logical component. Wedding vendors are typically invited to the celebration in order to contribute to its excitement and uniqueness. In this respect, the vendors are seen as a novelty, or as a necessity, rather than as a group of individuals present at the event. In pondering the aspect of the wedding celebration, becoming captivated by its intricacies easily allows for this to occur. The first thought when planning is wedding is typically not that which concerns the status of the wedding vendors or how they should be treated. Nevertheless, since the desire is usually to have a memorable wedding, taking a moment in the planning process to analyze such a thought is not always a negative circumstance.

While the guests are there to partake in the celebration and to contribute to the happiness of the couple, the vendors are there to perform their occupation. Therefore, a personal connection between the wedding vendors and the guests is not always present. However, since the main idea is to create a pleasant ambience, the vendors should be treated with the same amenities as the others guests. Even in the absence of a personal connection, the vendors will remember the wedding as well. Certainly the vendors will associate more favorable memories with a wedding in which they were treated as a part of the event than one in which they were isolated. Since food is a central part of a wedding celebration, not feeding the wedding vendors appears disrespectful. In order to create a more unified celebration, everyone should be fed. Vendor or not, the experience and the treatment by the hosts will be remembered.
