The first thing to take note of is just who you should be tipping. One rule of thumb for this is to take a look at the final bill. Today, most of the opportunities for tips are often applied right to the final bill.
However, which services rate a tip and how much is reasonable? It is also important to know when to tip. There are a number of different opportunities when you will have to give a tip. Some of these times are listed here and deserve attention.
Some vendors already include a tip in the final bill such as the caterer, the banquet managers, waiters, bartenders, and bridal consultants. Generally, an appropriate tip is about 15%, but should only be provided if the service has been very excellent since you are already tipping them in the bill.
You should tip the limousine driver for their service. Be sure to checkthe contract to see if there is an amount of gratuity already. If it already included, then it is not necessary. However, if not, or you receive high levels of service, a 15% tip is appropriate.
Should you tip Photographers, florists and musicians? If the tip is not provided in the contract, then a tip in the amount of 15% to 20% is appreciated. Of course, if the service exceeds expectations then more is appropriate.
Ministers, Priests, and Rabbis. This is one tip never to be forgotten as it is not usually provided elsewhere. The groom should give this tip which should be given by the best man to the wedding official. Generally, this amount should not be less than $150. While it is considered a donation, it should always be provided. If under contract with the Wedding Planner then the amount could be less. If the Wedding Officiant has a set fee then the fee should be the minimum amount and a tip should be 15% of that amount.
Musicians and organists at the ceremony. These services may have gratuity in the contract, so make sure that you check first. This is only the case if you actually rent the church for use. If not, then a tip should be provided as well. The tip can range form $40 to $75 depending on the amount of service and the quality that is provided.
Proper Wedding Etiquette includes giving gratuities and should not be neglected. The Best Man can be assigned this responsibility if the Groom cannot or prefers not to do this. Following proper wedding etiquette in tipping shows genuine appreciation and class. - 16069
