Gratuity

Hi!! Although I've been a member of this sight since I've been engaged (7/04), I have never posted on this forum. I have a question, and I figured that maybe some of the brides on here could help. I'm getting married in June, so we are starting to get all those little things taken care of. I was just wondering, who are you supposed to tip at your wedding? Obviousley, the serivce staff, which my venue includes in price. But how about DJ, photographer, etc.? Our photographer is the owner of the company, should we tip him? Oud DJ is also the owner of the company. Do we tip him? We are paying the fee, which should go right to them. Also, how much do you tip people like the limo drivers and officiant? Please enlighten me if anyone has any advice!! Thanks a bunch!!

I think that with an owner of a company, you don't have to tip them.
With the limos, you can check your contract - often gratiutiy is included but of course, you can tip above that the day of.
Also, check your contract regarding your matrie'd - there might be a specific amount listed on there (not all halls have this in their contracts).
