Nervous about tipping situation

Ok, we have hardly any $$ left and I'm nervous about how much we have to tip. We have the money for the hall gratuity, which I was told includes everyone so that's covered.

And we figured $60 for each limo driver should be good.

Now, what about videographer, dj & photographer? They all own the company. The photographer is bringing an assistant so we'll tip him $50?

Just not sure if we should tip the owners and if so, how much?

I would go to the knot and in the ask carley section search for gratuity. They have a whole list of who gets what and how much. It's a great resource.

dont stress!!

is tip included in your limo package?? $60 each IMO is alot unless they are driving all over the place.. which if its ceremony location then to RH.. i'd drop the tip a bit..

we tipped based on how we felt the service was the day of.. we struggled to come up with amounts before the wedding..
so some got more and some got less and some got none based how it was the day of..

hth!

I will check The Knot; thanks.

No, tip is not included in our limo package; they said we can tip the day of. They are picking us up at our respective homes, taking us to OWG for pix and then dropping off at hall.

I would DEFINITELY make sure to take care of the photogs.... if you HAVE to skimp on someones tip, make sure it's not someone you will have to deal with again and especially not someone in charge of the photo memories of your day... JMO

Ok, I will try to give everyone something. We do that at the end of the day, right?
