Although it is not obligatory to tip, it is customary to show gratitude to those who helped make your wedding a success. Here are a few guidelines to help you know how much to tip various vendors.
One thing to remember, you do not need to tip owners. If a photographer owns a studio, or a hairstylist owns a salon, you do not need to tip. Same goes for bands not chosen from an agency.
Hairstylists/ Makeup artists, who are not owners: 15%-20% of total bill if you go to a salon; tips are at your discretion if they come to you.
Ceremony Musicians: $20-$25 each should be offered by the best man.
Bartenders: 10% of the liquor bill to be split among the bar staff.
Officiant: While city officials cannot accept tips, a reasonable tip for clergy members is $75-$100.
Delivery People: These tips are to be offered on the spot. Somewhere between $5-$25 depending on time and work that was put in to the items (cakes, flowers, etc.).
Waitstaff: If gratuity is not included in the total bill, 15%-20% of the bill is a decent tip to be split among the waiters.
