Yes, our contract stated that we were to get vendor meals, and the couple always thought that we would get a meal, but it was a crap shoot as to whether we got fed. When they asked how my dinner was, I would always say it was great. A wedding is not the place to worry about your needs, it’s not about you, so take care of yourself! Once I started bringing my own food it was a total game changer! I had snacks throughout the day, so I never got ravenous and when the couple sat down so did we. This meant we could go off and have a few minutes to relax and regroup and even digest, a much more dignified experience!
