If you feel that the service provider has gone over and beyond what was expected of them, then it can be appropriate to provide them with more of a tip for your needs. If you feel that the tip is not enough, then by all means, a larger tip can and should be left.
Which wedding vendors are normally tipped and what amount? Of equal importance is knowing the proper timing in tipping. You will have several times when you will need to tip a vendor. A list of these vendors and times are listed in this article.
Some service providers may already include a tip in the final bill. These vendors include the banquet managers, waiters, bridal consultants, the caterer, and bartenders. A tip of about 15% is usually acceptable. However it should only be given if the service is above the standards of excellence since you are already being billed for a gratuity.
Your Limousine Driver. You should tip the limo driver for your service. Notice in the contract if there is an amount of gratuity already listed. If so, it is not necessary. If not, or you receive high levels of service, a tip of 15% is appropriate.
Florists, musicians and photographers are vendors that usually deserve a tip. If they do not list a gratuity in the contract, then a of 15% or even 20% is appreciated. For excellent service a larger gratuity is also proper and welcome.
Should the Rabbi, Priest, or Minister receive a Gratuity? This Gratuity should never be neglected since it is not usually provided somewhere else. The groom is responsible for this tip and should give the card and envelope to the best man to give to the Wedding Officiante BEFORE the ceremony as the minister often has to leave after the ceremony. This amount should not be less than $250. While it is a donation, it should always be provided. Also consider the distance the minister had to drive. When you consider that the wedding officiant is the one vendor that must be present for the wedding to actually take place and he or she must have the credentials, training, and skills to make your ceremony beautiful or not, then you realize what a bargain this truly is in the overall wedding budget.
Civil Service. Since there is no cost set here, it is appropriate to provide a tip of $50 to $100 for the civil servant that is providing the service. Often, there is a suggested donation posted in these offices.
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. - 16003
