Do you tip when the vendor owns the business, i.e. photographer, videographer, florist? Also what is percentage? Band is costing 10,000. At a standard 20%, that's another $2,000! Tipping of wait staff is included in venue price, as is the limo, so we're good there. Would really love to hear...

    @Beutivant - our venue contract included a 20% service charge but that was NOT for gratuity. It was a service fee that went toward paying the salaries of the staff, but not tips. I clarified that with the venue coordinator. So we tipped the serving staff in addition to that fee. You need to be careful and double check that 20% is actually gratuity. "Service fee" is often NOT gratuity. Many people here have had that confusion. If it IS actually for gratuities, then you don't have to tip on top of that.
