Tip???

Sarah, on July 15, 2020 at 9:36 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 13
Which vendors do you tip? I have a photographer, DJ, caterer (but tip is already included), hair dresser, and cake lady. Who do I tip and how much? Thanks!

    I plan on tipping all of the above. I would put a couple hundred to the side just for tips and tip based on how you liked the service!

    You wait until after the wedding is over and you are objectively assessing how they all performed. If there was bad service or they just showed up to do their jobs, no tip. A tip goes to those who went above and beyond the call of duty. Which is why you can't tip them the day of in a mindset of being on cloud 9.

    For us personally our vendors suggested a 20% tip per service however I feel in some cases it’s a little high we are considering 15%

    Completely agree. Tips are for service that was above and beyond – it should not be considered standard practice that is expected. If a vendor does a great job, tip them! 😀

    Okay, so all of my vendors that I listed get a tip? I agree it should depend on the service. Do I tip the caterer extra? He is bringing me the food to warm up since he wasn’t available on the date I had to move the wedding to.

    Is there already a tip in the contract for the caterer?

    I am a tipper, and will honestly tip each and every person who’s doing a service for our day! I’ve worked in the wedding and service industry and I know how tough it is Smiley smile

    If its included, I wouldn't give any extra unless he goes above and beyond!

    Yes, 20% is really fair and nice. That’s usually my go to if someone does a good job. If they go above and beyond I feel more generous lol
