Tipping questions

Did you/are you tipping your DJ, photographer/videographer, waitstaff and bartenders? Just trying to organize and plan above the ones already in place in contract or are definitely expecting tips. Thanks.

Re: Tipping questions

we'll probably do something along the lines of...

DJ - $100
Photographer - $100-150 (depending on how good they are)
BM- will tip but not sure how much (probably about $300)... I assume this goes to wait staff also but I am not too sure.
Bartenders - ???

Ahhhhhhh - all this tipping, i'll have to get a second job just to shell out tips on my wedding day

Re: Tipping questions

We are in the process of doing our final list right now!! lol

W are tipping:

Floral delivery person
Limo driver - the right to the hall is included in our contract, but not the one from the hall to the hotel
Photographer
Photo. assistant
DJ
Matre'd
Bridal attendant
Hairdressers

So much money!

Why can't it be included in the high prices we pay for their service?!
