who gets tipped on the wedding day? - Long Island Weddings
Off the top of my head: limo drivers photographers (unless he's the owner, then you tip his assistant. Your call though) Videographers DJ Maitre'd Bridal attendants Florist Makeup/hair And if you're having church weddings-alter boy/girl officiant?

Yay, I know! This was something I didn't factor into my budget early on, so FH and I have to set a little money aside for tipping the day of. THere was actually a discussion about this topic, and some suggestions on who to tip/and what a while back that may help you. https://www.liweddings.com/chat/topic-question-about-tipping-827677-1.html

No problem, and def check out that thread I linked to. One bride actually posted a list of what the average is per vendor, which a lot of ladies found helpful. In the end though, tip what you can afford, and what you think to be fair. Each vendor won't be getting quite 15% from us, since one vendor alone will exceed a 1000 in tips! Also, some limo companies if they don't include gratuity, you have to tip their drivers, while others do include it, but pocket the money, and give a pittance to the driver.

Everyone. Like literally everyone. We spent well over 2k (I actually think it was closer to 3k cause we had a band). Off the top of my head:
Matire'd $4pp (then I rounded up) Bridal attendants $100 each (2) Photo/video $100 each (there were 4 people total) Band $50pp; $75 for those who did CH (11 piece band) Limo driver $50 Shuttle driver $100 (and he didn't deserve a nickel of it) Hair 20% Makeup 20%
I'm drawing a blank on the others, but there were definitely more!
ETA: DOCs- the main one got $150, the asst $100.

It's more like 'Who Does NOT get tipped at the wedding'! The list may be shorter LOL
