Re: Day of Tipping

I read that if the photographer owns the business no tip, but tip to the assistants. I also heard that the maitre'd get's 10% of the reception cost. Seems kinda high to me.

I have the same questions so hoping someone will chime in!

Day of Tipping

Milleridge told me to tip the Maitre D $20-50. Don't be afraid to ask the vendors what people usually tip. They get that question a lot more than you realize!

Day of Tipping

In my contract with the RH, I tip the Maitre D $3pp and I was told to tip the bridal attendant $50-100. I'm not up to the other vendors yet, but HTH!

You don't tip the guy you are working with at the Florist right?

My DOC said you can tip the delivery driver but most likely you wont even see them.

Great list! Just remember that limo companies usually put the gratuity directly in the contract which goes to the driver so you definitely do not have to tip them more.

You should check with whatever company you are using. Camelot does not include gratuity. All these tips add up to alot of money
