Tipping

What is a good tip to leave your photographer and DJ? We have a photographer and videographer. Thanks!

I gave my photographer and videographer a $100 each. The videographer is a husband & wife team and the photographer had an assistant with him

Re: Tipping

We gave ours $50 each for the photographer, his assistant, and the videographer.

I think I gave the DJ $80 and the MC $60 but I don't remember. Maybe $85 + $65? Maybe $75 + $60?

You've already paid all of them a lot for their services, I'm certain, so don't break the bank now -- give what you think is appropriate relatively.

We were on quite a budget, so I had lower-priced vendors for everything, so maybe that's why our tips were more 'budget' than some...

We didn't do video, but we gave our band 20% gratuity (there were 9 members including the MC and sound guy), and the photog and his assistant $200 each.

Re: Tipping

Main Photorapher $350.00
Assistants $100.00 each
Video $50.00 each. Hes an A-hole and didnt even deserve that!
DJ - I think it was $150 might have been more. But then we had the MC, the percussionist and the CH singer to tip as well.
