The art of tipping

Some vendors require it in the bill, some do not. That is when your discretion comes in as a factor on how and how much to tip your wedding vendors.

Percentage before taxes

Did they go above and beyond? 15% - 25%

Did they meet the bare minimum? 10% - 15%

Did they disappoint and produced unsatisfactory service? None

Gratuity is a thank you for a service well done, and is an additional bonus to those hard working people at your wedding. The amount is something that should reflect the service provided.

How to tip? Most caterers will ask for an envelope sealed handed to them by a wedding party member or the wedding consultant at the end of the night. The caterer will divide the gratuity to the members of the staff according to their own policies and routine.

Hope this helps!
