Tip Guide Sourced from The Knot Catering If your contract doesn t include gratuity you should tip 15 to 20 percent of the total bill Another way to tip is offering 50 to 100 for each chef and 20 to 50 per server Wedding planner coordinator Wedding planners won t expect a tip so this is optional based on service If you were given a huge discount or the planner went far above and beyond their contracted services offering a tip of 10 to 20 percent is a nice way of saying thank you for the efforts Photographer and videographer You re not required to tip them if they own the studio If they don t then giving them an extra 50 to 200 is a nice gesture If there are two or three shooters giving a 50 to 100 tip to each person who doesn t own the business is optional Ceremony staff and reception staff It s not mandatory to tip the ceremony staff reception staff and delivery staff but if you d like to then you can offer them 20 50 each Officiant Often times officiants won t accept tips but a 100 donation to their church is a great way to thank them If the officiant is non denominational consider giving them a 100 tip especially if they aren t charging for your service Hair and makeup artist A 15 to 20 percent tip is expected just like it would be for any other regular salon visit but it isn t required Band or DJ Offering a 10 to 15 percent tip is a nice gesture to your band or DJ especially if they have to carry a lot of heavy equipment from one location to the next For musicians a 25 to 50 tip per band member is appropriate Transportation A 15 percent tip is optional if it isn t included in the contract Florist The florist doesn t expect a tip However if they do an outstanding job you can consider giving them a 10 to 15 percent tip after services are rendered Keep this in mind Though tipping at weddings has become more of a custom in all service areas it isn t mandatory or even expected by most wedding pros With the exception of the catering staff and possibly the venue tips are considered a nice surprise by almost all vendors If you don t have the money to shell out thousands more on tips there are a few gestures that will go a long way with your team of wedding pros Send an email with a review a handwritten thank you note or a review on Yelp or WeddingWire are great ways to show appreciation and offer something the vendor can use when booking future clients Even better refer your vendors to your friends this gesture will go much further than a cash tip
