We have booked our venue for March, 2027 and I was wondering what the general practice is for the bride and groom when it comes to the wedding breakfast.
Our venue is catering (so there's no separate catering team) and when we placed our deposit, they asked us to give minimum numbers of day guests and evening guests. They then gave us a quote and told us we can add to these numbers (final numbers needed 8 weeks before the wedding) but we can't take away.
I didn't consider it before but is it normal to include us - the bride and groom - in these numbers? They asked for 'guests', day and evening which is why I didn't include us initially. I've just been looking at the what's included part of our quote and it says a wedding breakfast menu taster for 2 but no mention of our actual wedding breakfast meals.
So is it normal for venues to just include the price of our meals somewhere in the quote or should we have included the two of us in our 'day' and 'evening' guests? (I will be contacting them to enquire but I wanted to gauge what the norm is for venues!)
