i think this all depends, alot of ppl just say oh dont tip the owners but i definitely think there are circumstances...for one if its a vendor that is a freelance artist then i personally dont think this rule should apply. We're not talking about a person who has a company and has employees working for them and they are also making a profit off of others. For example alot of photojournalistic photographers work on their own and they have to pay for all things themselves and they dont have a company to make more money off of.

Same goes with make up and hair vendors, many of them are freelance artists and dont own a salon or own a business.

But to be honest i tip no matter what. And ive said this before but my mom has owned a couple of salons and EVERYONE always tipped her, and i know theres probably a couple of girls on here who go to salons and the owner might be the one who does their hair, or whatever it is and im guessing that they tip.

I always tip, owner or no owner. I never know what to tip. I would tip 100 bucks to each vendor. Is that too much??

maybe 50 per vender so if you have 2 videographers and 2 photographers that would be 200 (50 for each person)???
