Gratuity Guidelines
GRATUITIES As always, gratuities are not mandatory nor expected, but well appreciated. These are some guidelines for tipping. Keep in mind that these are very general guidelines; One can tip higher or lower according to his or her own discretion regarding budget, price of service, size of service, and quality of service.
BANDS Please use your own discretion and remember that the gratuity will be split equally among all members of the band. A general guideline is 10% or $25 - $50 per man.
DISC JOCKEY It is customary to tip $50 - $100 per man- (DJ, MC, etc.)
LIMOUSINES Usually, a minimum gratuity is included in the price. If you feel your service has gone above and beyond, a further tip is much appreciated.
PHOTOGRAPHERS/VIDEOGRAPHERS It is usually customary to tip $50 -$100 per photographer and per videographer, and $25 - $50 per assistant or helper.
FLOWERS While many consider this gratuity to be strictly up to the client, a good rule of thumb lies somewhere between 5% and 10%.
HAIR & MAKE-UP Generally, 15% and higher is customary.
