Re: Customary tips
Ok here is what we tipped. Also please note that I wanted to give more but DH refused bc most of these people own their own businesses! Also we fed all of our vendors...which I think most people do anyway.
MaitreD and Bridal attendant - $450 (was required by our hall a had to be paid in full prior to wedding day)
10 piece band - $250
Photographer - $75
Video - $75
Valet - $100 total (we had buses for 75% of our guests)
Flowers - $40
Hairstylist - $50 (plus $50 to the other girl who came and helped with BM hair)
Limo and Buses had included gratuity in our contract
