This is a guideline for tipping your vendors for the day of your event. Keep in mind that this is a guideline and you should give a gratuity based on performance of their services. If you feel that a vendor has gone above and beyond, then feel free to give more and vice versa. Also, check your contracts to see if a gratuity was already included. A general guideline is 15%-20% of fees paid.

Hair- $40-$50

Makeup- $40-$50

Photographer- $100-$150

Photog Asst.- $40-$50

Videographer- $100-$150

Video Asst. $40-$50

Limo- $25-$50 (each driver)

Floral Delivery- $20-$40

DJ/MC- $100-$150

DJ asst. $40-$50

Officiant- $25-$50 (not priest or church official)

Altar persons- $10-$20 each

Ceremony/ Cocktail Hour Music- $25-$50 (each musician)

Bridal Attendant- $75-$125

Maitre-D’- $3-$5 per person

Valet- $1-$2 per car

Bartender- $50-$100 per person

Coordinator- Your discretion

*It is always a good idea to keep an envelope with some extra money (small bills) for the unexpected assistant or if a vendors services are extraordinary.
