What do hotel staff do at a wedding?

Question

what do hotel staff do at a wedding? do they help plan it? if so what kinds of jobs do they have to do?

Answer 1

if you are having it there, they should have a event planner to help you .

Answer 2

I would definently ask the venue. I have seen places that don't do a thing for you... and others that serve champagne and fruit to the guest before the wedding. So I would ask, and have an idea of what you would like them to do and find out if that is possible.  

Answer 3

They should have an event planner. The event planner discusses things with you like the room layout, decorations, the menu, certain rules, what they provide on the day and what you provide...etc. He/she can also give you some lovely ideas from past experience in dealing with functions. Then depending on what type of function it is, the waiting staff provide table service of all food and alcohol (well they are at my wedding), clear tables, offer tea and coffee to guests and generally help ensure that things run smoothly. They are also responsible for setting up for the function ie: arranging tables and chairs, setting places...etc. At the hotel where we are having our reception, the staff set up and the only thing we have to worry about is sending someone in early to arrange place cards and table plan and put out the candelabras. hope this helps
