Tipping

Of course we're going to tip our servers and bartenders since they have to deal with our rowdiness all night lol. We're also going to tip our photographer and DJ as they work for themselves and will be with us all night.

We're not tipping baker, florist, or rentals as we're either picking up ourselves or they're doing a quick drop off and not sticking around.

And of course will send everyone thank you notes and reviews.

We’re tipping anyone performing a service. Servers, bartenders, photographer, videographer, hair, makeup, DOC, DJ, bakery delivery.

I would say not to worry about it. I would keep some cash on hand in case someone goes above and beyond to help out.

For instance, at a friend's wedding only beer and wine was open bar and liquor was cash. The bartenders would slip us in the bridal party mixed drinks to keep us from paying. At the end of the night we pooled our cash to give him a tip as a thank you. We didn't have to since I'm sure gratuity was included, but we only felt it was right since he didn't have to do that for us.

View Quoted Comment Yeah very true! Thank you for advice! It helps very much!

I am unsure of tipping. As most my vendors work for themselves so get 100% of the profit. I am also serving my dJ a dinner. We have cash bar so I won’t be tipping bartenders, as I hope my guests will be. And I may tip my makeup artist and hair stylists because they are traveling to me

View Quoted Comment Thank you for advice. That the boat I'm in. Either its their own small business or it’s included in the final bill.

I only tipped my DJ. The servers all got charged already in our venue fee a gratuity.
