Wedding professionals

All discussions regarding staff attire and behavior should be addressed to the banquet manager, caterer, party planner or designer.




KEEP IN MIND

• Regardless of the venue, competent staff should always be present, but never prominent. • Unless costumes or special attire are to be provided, the more subdued the look, the better.

• For evening weddings, black is always appropriately unobtrusive. • For informal weddings, the options are limitless, sometimes including khaki or black trousers and a white shirt, a tailored T-shirt with matching trousers, or a white or black waiter's jacket with black trousers. • Because performers are so visible during the reception, any clothing or style preferences should be expressed to the music provider well in advance.
