51. Tipping

    

    Discussion by cobe1208 · January 2013 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

    Which of your vendors (if any) should you tip? Caterer? DJ? Photographer? Is the tip supposed to be the service charge? I don't want to insult the caterer by tipping or not tipping him. Thanks ladies!

52. To Tip or Not to Tip??

    That is the question! The venue where we're getting married is providing the catering, rentals etc and have included a hefty (25%) gratuity in their bill. Are we obligated to tip staff as well such as the bartender, etc? I know we'll need to tip our photog and DJ (outside vendors), but it seems like a rip off to have to…

    I'm actually getting married at Pineland and have been working with Black Tie. With Pineland, its been a little tricky for them because Pineland had its own event planners and outsourced their catering to BT. Now Black Tie runs the whole thing. Also, Black Tie lost its main event planner, so that was obviously difficult to…

    I HATE tipping. I tipped my photographer for her fabulous work and my catering coordinator. The others I wasn't interested in tipping.

    We only tipped the people working for the caterer. If they own their own business, they don't need a tip.

    Hi guys, So I have the amount to tip people set, but I do have a question. Our venue is separate from our caterer. There's a service charge built into our catering, but does that count as a 'tip'? If not, who exactly should I tip and how much should I? Here's the makeup of our catering staff: Head Chef Supervisor Asst…

    Who do I tip? Do I need to tip? I feel like I'm paying so much already why should I tip? Do I tip the DJ/Photographer/caterer's wait staff?

    My venue leaves us no choice... We provide the alcohol, but they provide the bartenders (and security, and mixers, soda, etc...) and when I asked if we (the bride and groom) could just cover the tip ourselves, they said no - the catering company (who provides the bartenders) insist on having tip jars out. However, they do…
