Hi all. I'm struggling with what would be an acceptable tip for a few of my vendors.

The florist works for a big bridal shop that does all things wedding. She has been amazing but 20% would be $240 which seems a bit much. I was thinking $75. Too much? Too low?

The venue coordinator has been answering a ton of questions for me and will help make sure things run smoothly day of. My package includes all gratuity but I wanted to give her something extra. $50 or $75 sound ok?

For the photo booth, the owner will be there but he will also have an assistant with him. I'm thinking $40 or $50. We have the booth for 4 hours.

Thanks!

10% is perfectly acceptable for wedding vendors.

We went around 10% for some vendors and based on guidelines from TK for others. I will copy the link that was our base plus we used FH's experience in the Food and Beverage/ Banquet world.

We are doing:
Officiant $50 - way more than 10%, but she's worth it.
DJ $50, about 10%
DOC $50, about 15%
Doughnut delivery $10 pp
Catering staff $100 pp x 4 = $400, about 10% of total
Photographer is a friendor and we are giving her a thank you note at RD and about a $200 or so gift after the wedding
Florist $25, around 20%; he made an extra bouquet last minute.

We tipped between 10-20% depending on the vendor.
