Would you still tip if....

Original post by Julia0927

you were paying 9000 for the band?

I am not sure who to tip. Not sure if we want to tip the band. We have a band we are paying for because its part of restaurant package but not using them. We hired a band I picked and they are 9K. Should we still tip them?

Also how much are you tipping a photographer/videographer. The one we hired is a family business(father working with his 2 sons and 1 more person).

For restaurant we are paying 15% service charge as stated in the contract. Is it enough?

We are using a Hank Lane band and are paying around the same. My FMIL friend son works for them and he specifically said not to feel obligated to pay since they get paid VERY WELL. He basically said don't tip and if you do don't tip a lot and this is from one of the head guys at hank lane...

He also said not to pay for them to eat at the hall because they will not take a break to eat. They play the whole time and he recommends just having a tray of wraps and sandwhiches for them to eat during cocktail hour.
