Tipping Vendors

I tipped my photobooth person who was also my dj. I gave close to 20%. My catering and venue already charged me gratuity

Okay, I need help with this too!! Do you tip the hair/makeup girl?? Photographer?? My photo booth and DJ are both included in the venue..Do I need to tip them or no??

View Quoted Comment Our venue will be providing the bartender since it's part of our package I will be giving him a tip. Also the staff at the venue - coordinator and server.
I'm just not sure about the rest.

My best friend was a wedding photographer a few years back, I will ask her as well.

Hey Erika

It’s very wise to factor gratuity in to your budget as it can all add up to a substantial amount. You don’t want to be caught off guard as the wedding date approaches

This WeddingWire article is excellent. It provides a thorough guide and breakdown of how much to tip each vendor - Exactly How Much To Tip Wedding Vendors: A Complete List. I think it will answer all your questions!

Yes, you absolutely tip hair/makeup, just like you would at a salon. 20%.

Photographer is really optional. I feel like people are pretty divided on this and none of my photography friends expect it. It's a really nice touch to send a tip after you get your photos, though.
