Tipping

Crashing...

Ive seen so many different tipping threads but now as my wedding is getting closer I want to get a good idea of how much we should be tipping each vendor.

Below are the people I have to tip:

DJ, MC and Zap shot photographer

Florist Deliverer - Going to 3 drop off locations

Officiant - who I am unsure about tipping. Only met with him once for 5 min. His secretary is who Ive been dealing with. We are paying them $750 already to have the wedding at the church.

Photographer / Videographer

Bridal Attendant

We are having a Photobooth just found out 2 of my BMs got it for us for 2 hours. Do I have to tip or do they have to?

Maitre D I know what we will be tipping.

Valet and Bartenders our Family and Friends will automatically be tipping

Not sure if I should be tipping the DJ, MC, Zapshot guy and the Photographer and Videographer and Bridal Attendant based on how much we paid for them? Im so clueless. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

TIA!!!!

Re: Tipping

DJ, MC and Zap shot photographer - didnt have a DJ so can't comment but we had a 9 person band and tipped each band member $25 each

Florist Deliverer - $20 each (i only saw the one at my house) so i had two other envelopes prepped but never saw anyone

Officiant - we gave our priest $100 visa gift card, the cantor and the organist $25 visa gift cards and the altar boy a $10 dunkin donuts giftcard

Photographer / Videographer - we had two photogs and one videog - main photog got $100, second photog got $75 and video got $100

Bridal Attendant - u mean from the hall, right? - $100 -- i had a DOC also and i gave her $150 tip i think

We are having a Photobooth just found out 2 of my BMs got it for us for 2 hours. Do I have to tip or do they have to? - didnt have this

Maitre D I know what we will be tipping. - i gave my MD $3.50 per person and then threw him an extra $100 bc he did a somewhat good job

Valet and Bartenders our Family and Friends will automatically be tipping - no additional tip but i know my dad tipped all the bartenders like $25 each

DJ, MC and Zap shot photographer - $50 each, but I wish I hadn't tipped the Zap guy. He literally took 30 pictures

Florist Deliverer - n/a

Officiant - I didn't tip - his fee was $650

Photographer / Videographer - Photog $75, Two video guys $50 each

Bridal Attendant - $75 Groom Attendant - $75

We are having a Photobooth just found out 2 of my BMs got it for us for 2 hours. Do I have to tip or do they have to? - $50 but that was for 4 hours

----we were not the most generous tippers in the world, but we did what we could after all bills were paid. I think we were pretty fair.
