Tipping at a Cabo Destination Wedding

Shannon, on June 6, 2019 at 2:40 PM Posted in Planning 0 4

Hi!

I am trying to figure out how much I should tip per vendor at my all-inclusive destination wedding in Cabo! Please let me know if you've had any insight or experience with this. I need a general rule of thumb for the following people:


1. Photographer

2. On-site coordinator

3. Bartenders

4. Waitstaff

5. Officiant

6. DJ

7. Lighting/event service

8. Florist


Thanks so much!

    Wow!! I am having a DW in Cancún and I actually didn’t think I needed to tip anyone.. I am already paying a lot for the wedding package.. and everything is included already except for the DJ/extra hour of photography (using the resort vendors)... now I want to know as well!!!

    Wendy, we are paying an arm and leg for our wedding package at Dreams..so I wish it wasn’t obligatory to tip..but I’m not sure either! I’ve read on other forums that you should tip but I’m clueless to who should be tipped and how much!

    Hey Shannon! Congratulations on your engagement! A wedding in Cabo sounds like an absolute dream! Will you both stay there after your wedding as a honeymoon? Or are you planning a honeymoon elsewhere?

    Great idea to start thinking about tipping your vendors now. It’s definitely not something you want to forget about until the last minute!

    If your venue is all-inclusive, you should check your contract to see if gratuity is already included in the overall cost. There is a chance it is, and if so, it’s been taken care of already. If it does not say that it is included on the contract, then you will have to tip your vendors separately. There is a really great article in the ideas section that I have linked below that has a breakdown of how much you should tip each vendor.

    Thank you for your advice! I will definitely have to look into our contracts to see if gratuity is already included. Thanks so much Smiley smile
