Tip the wedding planner for the company i also work for?

Help! About 6 months ago I began working as an assistant for the wedding planning group I’m using for my wedding. After my wedding next weekend I will begin training to be a lead planner because I love it and I’ve never been more happy.

My wedding planner and I haven’t worked together before my wedding to keep a real client relationship. That said— I don’t know the etiquette of this. The contract has gratuities built in but I don’t know if I should tip or not on top of that solely based off the fact that I work for the company and don’t want to be seen as a jerk, but I also don’t know if that’s a good enough reason to tip extra.

Any advice is appreciated! 💓

    If you didn't work there, would you tip? Or do regular leads get tips ontop of gratuity usually? If yes, then you should.

    If I didn’t work there I don’t think I’d tip because I see that it’s in the contract already. Some couples do tip and others don’t.

    Hey there, Emily!

    I’m happy you’re enjoying the wedding planning process so much you want to make a career of it Smiley smile

    If gratuity is already built in to the cost, this is the tip. I don’t believe it would be necessary to tip on top of this, however, it’s totally your personal preference if you want to tip extra. What would you be most comfortable doing?

    If you wanted to give an extra thank you to your planner, would you consider getting him/her a gift?
