Tipping! How and who do you tip?
Hair and Makeup Stylist- Gratuity is definitely expected. Should be tipped 15-up to 25% of their fee at the time of service, just like a hair salon!
Officiant- A private officiant is usually paid a direct fee, tipping is optional.
Wedding Planner- For exceptional service present the tip at the end of the day with a thank you not. Suggested range is $100-$500 or a nice gift, depending on how long you have worked together!
Photographers and Videographers- Standard is between $50 and $200. Tips should be given at the end of the reception, it is not expected but greatly appreciated!
Wedding Band/DJ- Tipping is optional yet preferred, the standard is $25-$35 per musician; $50-$150 for DJs.
