My Fiance wants to know how much he is expected to tip each vendor. Anyone have a list of who you are supposed to tip and how much?
TIA

Re: How much do you tip each vendor?
Great question girls, I was wondering the same thing. I think I am going to estimate btwn 10-20 percent for each, but I'm not sure if that's right or even 'standard'??
I heard approx. $2-5 per guest, for the Banquet Manager of the reception hall. Does this sound right to anyone?! I have no clue!

It sounds a LOT for the Banquet Manager! Is it really that high? We are already paying SO much for the Hall, is it really that high?

Yes, that is what I thought! But honestly, I have no clue whatsoever what would be appropriate!
we tipped... DJ- $100 DJ asst- $50 Photographer- $100 Videographer- $100 Limo drivers- $75 Maitre d'- $500 or 600 (my father took care of that) And I think there were tip jars at the bars for the bartenders...
all this tipping really adds up... oh yeah... hair- $50 (I think) makeup-$50

My Banquet Manager said $200 for him (so about $2 per guest).
(That was after we had asked if all the waiter tips were included in the package, along with any other extra costs.)

Are we supposed to tip the Banquet Manager, Matre d' and Bridal attendant? I thought only the Matre d' and bridal attendant.

Re: How much do you tip each vendor?
If DJ, photographer and videographer are all owners of their companies and working my wedding, do I still give them about $100 each as tip?
What about their assistants?????
Thanks. :)

My photographer works for herself and so, I think I'm not going to tip her. We're already paying a lot for her.
Definitely cash for the tips!

This is what we did: BM - $3 pp Hostess - $75 Videographer - $100 Assistant - $50 Photographer - $100 MC - $100 DJ - $50 Makeup Artist - $65 (for me, mom & sister) Hairstylist - $20 Flower Delivery Person - $40 Limo Drivers - $50
Videographer, Photographer, MC, hair stylist & makeup artist were all the owners of their companies and I tipped anyway.

Re: How much do you tip each vendor?
Okay, what if your photographer has 3-5 people working on your day. How does that work?

Re: How much do you tip each vendor?
We just started talking about this. This is what we're thinking:
Maitre d': $450 (~220 at the wedding so just over $2pp) Photographers: $50 each, $25 to the assistant DJ/MC: $50 each Florist Delivery: $20 Transporation (vans from transportation company - drop off only): $15 each van
If there is a bridal attendant: $30 If the $450 isn't split, $30-40 for each bartender
Who we're not tipping (all sole owners of business) Harpist Officiant Hair Makeup

We have 2 photographers and an assitant. We're doing $50 each photographer and $25 for the assistant. Given how much we're paying, I think this is going above and beyond.
