Tipping Your Wedding Vendors


Listen Later

We break down recommended tipping percentages for wedding vendors and share real experience from Grace's recent wedding to help you navigate gratuities for your big day.

• Catering and serving: 15-20% on food/beverage bill or $20-50 per server
• Bartending: 10-20% on bar bill or $100-150 per bartender
• Photo/video: $50-200 each or 5-10% of total bill (less expected for business owners)
• Musicians: $25-50 per musician
• DJs: $100-200
• Hair and makeup: 15-25% of service cost
• Wedding planner/coordinator: $100-500 depending on event size
• Florists: typically not expected, but $50-100 appreciated for exceptional service
• Floral setup staff: $10-15 per person based on complexity
• Consider preparing labeled cash envelopes in advance for easy distribution
• Include gratuities in your wedding budget from the beginning

Remember that tipping is a way to show appreciation for quality service, especially for those who don't own their businesses.
