HOW MUCH---


FLORIST

BANQUET MGR

BRIDAL ATTENDANT

BAND MEMBERS (THERE'S 7)

PHOTOGRAPHY TEAM (BUT THEY OWN THEIR PLACE)

ANYONE ELSE IM MISSING?

florist - $20 (though we never even saw our florist so he got nothin )

banquet manager - they don't get a tip

bridal attendant - $125-150

band - about $25-35 per person

photographer - $100 for each photographer, $50 for each assistant photographer

videographer - $100 for each videographer, $50 for each assistnat videographer

maitre d' - $3-5 per guest

officiant - $50 (though most people don't give the officiant, but i thought it was important to do this)

i think that's about it .... though i have a feeling i'm forgetting something, for some reason


ETA: i knew i forgot something!

hair person - $10 for each person's hair they do

makeup person - $10 for each person's makeup they do

Florist- it was only the 2 assistants who dropped off the personals so we gave them $20 each?

Banquet Manager- I'm assuming this is the matire'd. We gave him $5 per person. He deserved every penny of it!!

Bridal Attendant- $50 each.

Photography Team- $100 each, but they weren't the owners.

Didn't have a band, but we tip the DJ/MC $50 each.

You have to tip limos, also!! I think we gave $50.

ETA: We got married in a church so priests aren't allowed to accept tips, but we tipped the nasty asss altar server $20.

Thanks Mor!! I think I meant maitre d' when i wrote banquet mgr ;)

what about like valet and bartenders .. Is that for my guests to take care of?

valet is covered along with bartenders there. if you really wanted for the BM you can give them a bottle of wine or something. We wound up giving everyone a bottle that night (

I wound up giving Andy about $4-$5 per person and the BA i think $100 if not $125 (she was amazing)

fm me if you have anymore ?'s (I can't get on from work but will get the emails to my phone)

Our Banquet Manager was who we booked the hall with. We didn't even see him the day of the wedding.

But yeah- valets/bartenders are all taken care of.

I don't think Hallie is allowed to take a tip but I could be wrong. I think b/c they are commissioned when they make the sale they are not supposed to be tipped. I remember someone posting that about FF a while ago.

sorry, crashing.

sooo if i have 200 ppl at my wedding, I'm supposed to give the maitre'd $1k???? like, seriously?
