How much do I tip the DJ, phtographer, and reception hall for my wedding.?

Question

My wedding is coming up quick and I was wondering how much I should tip?

The reception hall is non for profit so all pretty much everyone is volunterring. My dinner is also a buffet. Should I tip or maybe make a donation?

Answer 1

Don't tip, you're already paying enough for their services!

Answer 2

generally, a nice personal tip for all who help you with your wedding would be fine. The amount is up to you but it is customary to give most of your vendors a little something extra, whatever is in your budget.

I am getting married in a similar situation and plan to give the waiters $15-20 each, and the photographer/DJ $40.00. The officiant (person who is performing the ceremony) will get a gift certificate for dinner for 2 and the person who works for the hall and helped organize everything will be getting a bouquet of flowers. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Though the DJs and photographers are professionals, the staff may not be paid handsomely. So, a tip will always better. You tip the biggest currency of your country, since that will be the biggest tip they can imagine. Nothing more and nothing less. Good luck.

Answer 4

DJs and photographers are professionals. You don't tip them. But if the reception is in a hotel, you might want to throw in something for the staff.

Answer 5

I didn't tip. They are independent and not working for a company, means they money you pay come straight to their pockets. Tip only the servers for the reception, like $10 each.

Answer 6

you don't tip them you can feed them while they are at the wedding but they are already getting paid to be there so no tip is necessary
